OIT President Comments on Recent Passage of Federal e-Signature Bill 

STATE COLLEGE, PA: "We applaud the passage of the e-Sign bill and believe it represents a major step forward in securely facilitating web transactions for businesses and consumers," said Scott Buchart, President of Optical Image Technology, Inc. "Here at OIT, we have developed software solutions - such as the OIT encryption server - that enables e-Signature management and empowers e-Business operations."

The bill, The Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, also called the e-Sign Act, placed into law on June 30, 2000 by President William J. Clinton affords the same legal standing to electronic signatures as ink and paper signatures. However, challenges await businesses in this electronic world of commerce. One of the primary challenges for businesses and organizations is storing and managing e-Signatures.

OIT's encryption server, aimed at e-Signature management, is already in service securely facilitating the e-Signature-enabled processes in some of the strictest and most regulation-intensive business environments in the world, including the Pharmaceutical and Financial Services industries.

OIT e-Solutions software is considered by independent analysts and consultants to be a leader in integrating Electronic Document Management Systems (EDMS) with e-Business concerns, empowering them with content management, EBPP and email management solutions.
