Posten and Sign On start joint sales and marketing for FormPipe

Posten and Sign On start joint sales and marketing for FormPipe Posten and Sign On have agreed to start joint sales and marketing activities for Internet services designed to process documents with electronic signatures. The agreement replaces the framework agreement signed in January 2002. The framework agreement which Posten and Sign On signed in January 2002 concerned cooperation in the area of electronic signatures on the one hand and a stake in Sign On for Posten on the other. The companies have now agreed that part-ownership is not the ideal form of cooperation, which is why Posten will not retain its stake in Sign On. The previous framework agreement is being terminated and replaced by an agreement which relates in the first instance to national and international service development of Sign On's product FormPipe. The emphasis is on creating joint solutions which, for example, allow authorities to process electronically signed forms in a simple and secure manner.
