¡Clica aquí para leer entrada en español!

Universitat Ramon Llull (URL) will drastically reduce paper storage, and the execution time of its administrative tasks, through the use of digital signature.

This university consists of ten federated institutions. Each and every one of its centers, may supplement their applications with electronic signature process for its users.

Thanks to this, the signing of minutes, publication of letters, contracts with suppliers, documentary control, may be carried out telematically, without requiring paper printouts, or people travellng.

To achieve this, Universitat Ramon Llull has decided to implement PortaSigma. A centralized instance of our tool will provide each center’s computer applications, the necessary services for its users to sign and validate documents using their digital certificates.

To access PortaSigma, applications make use of the web services available through the API.

Universities are certainly environments that meet a series of features that make them suitable for the deployment of digital signatures. Among others:

  • Arrangements with banks, for the distribution of cryptographic smartcards, and digital certificates, for students and teachers
  • Handle large amount of documentation, which often require a handwritten signature of participants in the process

Being a cross-application tool, PortaSigma can also help improve the administrative processes in many other industries. Banking, Insurance, employment, Veterianaries and universities, are just the tip of the iceberg of the universe using this tool. From iSigma, we’ll do our best to further improve many processes and industries with digital signature.

¡Clica aquí para leer la entrada en castellano!

PortaSigma keeps growing for you.  This time we present two new developments that might interest you:

First of all, we’ve modified the signatorie’s identification system to a new applet, which gets the following improvements:

  • We have minimized the weight of this component, so that the download occurs so quickly that it is nearly not time consuming
  • We have optimized the certificate’s filter system, so now we present them in a much comprehensible way for the user

With these changes, the recipients of your signing requests can access and operate in PortaSigma faster and more intuitively.

Secondly, following our international focus, we have adapted PortaSigma to the requirements of certificates from the following countries: Colombia, Estonia and Finland.

This is only the first step in our goal of covering the largest number of providers of certification services worldwide. Future versions will incorporate also certificates from other countries.

For now, as a new, can benefit from the advantages of PortaSigma, users of the following certificates:

  • Certicamara, Colombia
  • Identifier from SK (Certification Centre, legal name AS Sertifitseerimiskeskus), Estonia
  • Population Register Center, Certificate Services, Finlandia

We keep on making signature easier. If you have still not tried PortaSigma, do it now!

Mobile signature and digital stamp for PortaSigma

Good news for PortaSigma users. From now on, it is possible to upload digital certificates in your account. This way, two new features are possible: digital stamp, and mobile signature.

Certificates are uploaded in P12 or Pfx format, which are the most usual distribution formats. They stay stored in our server, encyphered to keep them secure. For the certificate usage, an additional PIN is needed (as if it was stored in a cryptographic smartcard)

Digital stamp usage

When someone at a company needs to send a signature request, and wants the document to be signed by the company, this is the best option, specially if it is an often operation.

The document will get signed as if it was a digital stamp.

Signature from mobile devices

This new feature allows users to sign documents from mobile devices. As the digital certificate is stored on the server, it is possible to sign from nearly any mobile devices. This feature is specially usefull for workers who spend much of their time “at the street”, and need to sign many documents.

Create a free account in PortaSigma, and begin using it. Digital signature can make you avoid massive paper storage, improve your service level, and differentiate from your competitors.
