Toronto, ON (Dec. 20, 2013) – The Centre for Study of Insurance Operations (CSIO) has released an Advisory Report to aid its members in selecting and implementing a compliant, effective eSignatures solution.
Earlier this year, CSIO commissioned law firm Fasken Martineau LLP to review the legal and regulatory landscape governing eSignatures in Canada and to produce a report providing an overview of the legal requirements and best practices for implementation.
“Enabling verifiable, secure digital signatures over computers, tablets and smartphones, eSignatures is the logical next step to eDocs in supporting paperless workflows in the broker channel,” says Catherine Smola, President and CEO of CSIO. “This report will serve as a foundational document to our members as they investigate how to best leverage the benefits of this technology to further enhance workflow efficiencies and deliver an improved customer experience.”
eSignatures benefit customers by facilitating anytime, anywhere transactions without the need to print, sign, scan and send documents.
