Business solutions have already been identified, including design samples. Currently, the possibilities of cooperation with partner companies on the new product are being discussed and the process of integrating the signature into the systems of these institutions continues, the report says.

Designed to digitize business processes and increase customer loyalty, the next generation signature will also go a long way towards preventing fraud and document fraud.
