Silanis Participates in NAVA Live Electronic Signature Demonstration - Helps NAVA Members Visualize How Electronic Signatures Can Integrate Into Current Business Processes

Silanis Technology announced today its participation in the National Association for Variable Annuities (NAVA) live electronic signature demonstration.

Montreal, QC November 24, 2004 -- Silanis Technology, the market leader in automating business approval processes, announced today its participation in the National Association for Variable Annuities (NAVA) live electronic signature demonstration. As one of the two platforms selected, Silanis will showcase its web-based electronic signature solution to a select group of insurance, investment and financial service companies. The live demonstration will show a simulation of an insurance business process, with the addition of electronic signatures.

NAVAs electronic signature simulation grew out of an eighteen-month initiative by the E-Signature Working Group to achieve straight through processing. The Working Group recognized that it was critical for policies, contracts and other legal documents to be electronically executed, and as a result, sponsored a proof-of-concept lab to help NAVA members evaluate various approaches.

By adopting electronic signature solutions, our members can realize significant cost reductions for print, postage and fax costs, and people-time for follow-up processes, said Deborah Tucker of NAVA. Our electronic signature demonstration will show NAVA members two implementations of the technology, and will help them to better understand how electronic signatures can be integrated into their processes today.

Silanis will launch its live electronic signature demonstration this month for NAVA members to experience first-hand the use of electronic signatures over the web. In addition, Silanis will also demonstrate how electronic signature capture pads can be used in conjunction with web-based solutions for face-to-face approval processes with insurance agents.    

This industry has taken great strides to reduce paper flow through data exchange, standardized forms and business rules. Adding electronic signatures is a logical next step for providing true end-to-end processing and achieving the full benefits of these efforts, said Michael Laurie, vice president of Silanis. Silanis is very pleased to be a part of this demonstration and is dedicated to helping NAVA members better understand electronic signature technology and its fit with their unique process requirements.

The companies participating in the NAVA simulation include AEGON Insurance Group, Allstate Financial, American Express Financial Group, Finetre Corporation, Genworth Financial, ING U.S. Financial Services, MetLife, Minnesota Life, Nationwide Financial and Symetra.
