by admin ·


Montreal, QC (PRWEB) January 13, 2012

E-Signature leader and innovator, e-SignLive powered by Silanis, will be actively participating in Lotusphere 2012 from January 15 to 19.

Silanis senior technical lead for e-SignLive, Bogdan Chifor, will give a specialized technical presentation during Lotusphere 2012s Best Practices track on Thursday, January 19, from 11:15 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. The session will provide valuable tools and insights to companies who plan on integrating their software with IBM LotusLive.

e-SignLive will offer demonstrations of its widely adopted e-signature solutions at pedestal 603.

We are highlighting six customer success stories this year to show how customers have leveraged the collaboration capabilities of LotusLive while negotiating and reviewing contracts and agreements across various industry sectors including legal, commercial real estate, mortgage and taxes, says Dr. Robert Al-Jaar, executive vice president of Online E-Signature Services with Silanis. Being able to hold a live meeting and review the documents as well as answer questions in real-time keeps the deal moving. Many of our clients are now using this ability in LotusLive as the central repository to manage their projects.

Gunster, an established law firm in Florida, was able to get legal documents signed faster while radically cutting paper and courier fees, while Canderel, a large Canadian real estate firm, slashed the costs associated with cross-country meetings by using e-SignLive to negotiate and secure financing online.
