MessagingDirect M-powers Shana to Provide Customers With Secure, Non-repudiable e-Forms
Informed E-Forms Portal Solution Facilitates the Move from Process to E-Processes, By Turning Traditional Paper Forms into Electronic FormsEdmonton, Alberta - Tuesday, October 31, 2000 - MessagingDirect, a direct e-business transaction software
provider, today announced a partnership with Shana Corporation,
an Edmonton-based developer for integrated e-form management
solutions. As a result of this partnership, Shana will offer
customers electronic, digitally signed, encrypted e-forms to
seamlessly provide aerospace, oil and gas, financial and
telecommunications companies with both desktop and true 100%
browser-based management solutions. This partnership furthers
MessagingDirect's commitment to providing companies with the
technology necessary to take advantage of, and reduce concerns
surrounding, ambiguities in the digital signature law. "In partnering with MessagingDirect we can provide our customers
with Shana's assurance that e-forms exchanged are secure,
automated and non-repudiable," said Don Murphy, president of
Shana. "The enhanced offering will further strengthen Shana's
commitment to offering a completely paperless e-form solution to
clients in the aerospace, oil and gas, financial and
telecommunications industries." The solution, available in early
2001, is message-based and built to support the following three
basic principles of the Internet economy (i-economy): security,
reliability and integration. -- Security - Digital signatures and S/MIME encryption maintain
a minimum per-user cost and provide customers with
peace-of-mind, ensuring that business transactions are
private and protected. -- Reliability - Exception handling and message tracking
provide users with the status of messages, ensuring that all
transactions are validated and delivery can be confirmed. -- Integration - Highly adaptable, scalable, open standards
technology provides users with the flexibility to integrate
the solution into pre-existing applications--and as a
result, makes it less expensive to install. "Shana is dedicated to offering customers unparalleled e-form
management solutions," said Don Pare, CEO of MessagingDirect.
"Shana will be successful in leading the charge as they
recognized early on that it takes more then just the digital
signature law to conduct business electronically - it takes a
flexible solution that combines the digital signature with the
security needed to protect the customer." MessagingDirect Ltd. MessagingDirect Ltd., the leader in direct e-business
