Application Program Interfaces (APIs), web services, notification services, reporting, tracking and flexible XML schema enable virtually seamless integration with most ECM, ERP or other workflow, content management, and storage / repository systems for the automation of any signature based document process.

CIC products enable the complete electronic signature life cycle including the initial tagging of forms for signatures using developer tools, Adobe® Acrobat® Professional, or even Adobe LiveCycle® Designer®. The SignatureOne Ceremony Server can also place signatures in real time based on basic location information if the output of the workflow system is a flat PDF. Signature structures are pre-defined for W3C compliant documents and Cat 1 SmartDocs when using XHTML formats.

The Complete Electronic Signature Solution
  • eSign Consents and Disclosures
    To insure a fully enforceable electronically signed record it is critical that users understand what they are doing and have agreed to an electronic process. This information is explicitly captured and stored as part of the audit record and reproduced in the event of a dispute.
  • Document Presentment and eDelivery
    Ensure against disputes about what information was presented or received. CIC leverages that fixed format presentation of the PDF format and tracks the access and viewing of documents by users to denote delivery.
  • Multi-party Review and Signing Ceremonies
    Control complex signing ceremonies for multiple documents and signatories including dynamic process flow changes.
  • Fully Configurable Branding
    Designed with customer branding in mind. Virtually any web developer can modify the look and feel to support process changes, textual updates, or graphics.
  • Flexible Tracking and Reporting
    Real time tracking and reporting of transaction status in an easy to use format.
  • Extensive Audit Record for Maximum Evidentiary Value
    Signature and audit information is imbedded in every document and additional audit information is provided in simple XML format for flexible report generation.
  • Multiple Signature Method Support for All Lines of Business
    Handwritten signatures, fingerprint, click sign with Knowledge Based Authentication (KBA) or CIC’s KnowledgeMatch™ technology, and voice methods are supported. Leveraging CIC Sign-it® XF technology, additional signature methods for stamping and password can be deployed.
