Acxiom Finds AssureSign Electronic
Signature Technology
Efficient Solution for Employment Screening Authorizations
Biometric Electronic
Signatures Increase Efficiency and Expedite Authorizations
ORLANDO, FLA. -- (June 2, 2009) -- AssureSign LLC’s Electronic
Signature Technology has been selected by Acxiom® Corporation (Nasdaq:
ACXM) to support its background screening business. As a pioneer
in the employment screening industry, Acxiom is the single
source, most highly customer-centric background screening
solution available, providing the highest hit rates and the most
comprehensive compliance expertise in the industry.
Acxiom’s clients hire thousands of new employees each month,
which translates into thousands of background screening check
authorization forms and I-9 forms that must be signed and
processed. In many cases signatures are required from both the
employee and the employer. Acxiom has integrated AssureSign’s
web-based electronic signature solution into its website,
eliminating the need to send paper contracts to employees and
wait for them to be signed and returned. As a result, the
document signing process is abbreviated from days to just
minutes, and the signatures are legally binding and forensically
identifiable.
Since the entire AssureSign Electronic Signature process is
tracked digitally, users have a complete forensic audit trail of
the delivery and signing process. They know exactly when
documents are received, when they are signed, and who has or has
not signed them, giving them complete control over the signing
process. With the implementation of AssureSign, Acxiom can
assign each incoming document a unique identification number,
enabling the entire process to remain paperless.
”Our team spent months evaluating different e-signature
vendors,” says Mike Cool, vice president and general manager of
Acxiom Information Security Services. “We wanted a solution that
would be easy to integrate with our web-based applications, and
from our experience serving the background screening industry,
we also felt it was critical to choose a vendor that could
obtain biometric signatures without any special software or
hardware requirements for Acxiom or the signatories.
AssureSign’s API made the integration process quick,
straightforward and inexpensive to implement.”
“With just a mouse, an Internet connection and AssureSign’s
patent-pending electronic signatures, Acxiom is able to
streamline their business practices and simplify the
authorization process for clients and their employees,” said
David W. Brinkman, chief executive officer of AssureSign LLC.
“We know of no other background screening company that can
entirely eliminate the burden of faxing hardcopies of applicant
releases. With the implementation of electronic signature
capabilities, Acxiom can deliver complete background reports in
a paperless environment.”
Acxiom provides legally compliant reports, including 100 percent
in-person/real-time criminal record checks, fingerprinting, drug
testing, credit reports, verification services and driving
records. Especially for companies with large employee
populations dispersed across many locations, Acxiom has reduced
employee turnover and related costs by up to 50 percent while
also saving hundreds of thousands of dollars in employee theft
annually.
