Interlink Electronics, Inc. and LaserApp Software today announced that they have a joint customer, Princor Financial Services Corporation, that’s a member of the Principal Financial Group.

 

Princor’s forms, available in LaserApp’s library, are now esignature-enabled using Interlink’s IntegriSign software. Clients using an Interlink ePad handwritten electronic signature capture device can securely capture the esignatures of their clients, making the application process much more efficient and cost-effective, according to the companies.

 

“Many broker-dealers who are currently using LaserApp are looking to Interlink’s electronic signature solution to eliminate the need to go out-to-paper,” said Rod Vesling, senior vice president for eTransactions at Interlink. “Without our technology, the advisors are forced to print an electronic form in order to capture a wet-ink signature. Maintaining a straight-through process significantly increases productivity and reduces costs.”

 

Princor representatives are expected to benefit from the combined LaserApp and Interlink solution, company officials say.

 

“By making it easier to do business, we fully expect to see sales increase,” said Marty Richardson, a vice president at Princor Financial Services Corp. “We are empowering our representatives with the tools they need to be more efficient and focus on driving business versus managing paper.”

 

The IntegriSign Software Developer Kit enables Laser App to apply esignatures throughout its library of financial and broker-dealer forms. Once the signature has been transferred securely from the ePad, IntegriSign can encrypt and permanently embed the signature into the required documents, along with other data including date and time, according to the company.
