REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., May 28, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Communication Intelligence Corporation ("CIC") (OTCQB:CICI), a leading supplier of electronic signature and other software solutions enabling secure and cost-effective management of document-based digital transactions, today announced that its electronic signature technology, powering Cegedim's ("Cegedim") (EURONEXT:CGM) innovative and fully digital MAEA software suite, is now available for full commercial production.
CIC and Cegedim's partnership initially focused on helping enterprises migrate their systems to the Single Euro Payments Area ("SEPA"), the European Union's (EU) initiative aimed at harmonization of member state money transfer systems. Cegedim's innovative MAEA software suite, coupled with CIC's electronic signature technology, is now in full production offering an end-to-end digital transaction management ("DTM") solution for handling SEPA-compliant debit transactions.
The partnership has since expanded to offer a DTM solution that seamlessly handles electronic commerce workflows from order entry through payment. Cegedim and CIC are jointly, currently delivering this cutting-edge and cost-effective solution in pilots in two major industrial sectors. In these solutions, CIC technology is handling e-signatures to place and approve electronic orders and invoices, as well as to approve payments.
"MAEA supports all the legal requirements and needs for SEPA-compliant payments and is targeted for major European creditors in all business sectors," said Jean-Marie Simon, director for Cegedim. "And CIC's electronic signatures represent a cornerstone of the drive towards dematerialization and of the proven cost savings afforded by straight-through electronic document processing."
"We are proud of our Cegedim partnership and excited about the strong traction it has generated so far," said William Keiper, president and chief operating officer for CIC. "Growing interest for our joint solution, as well as SEPA and continued EU Parliament action to advance the 'Digital Single Market,' bode well for accelerating adoption of electronic signature and related solutions across the EU. Our recent compliance with the ISO 14533-1 and ISO 14533-2 standards governing electronic signatures, underscores our commitment to support Cegedim in its efforts to maintain leadership in this dynamic sector."
