As businesses and individuals look to the time and money savings provided by electronic documents and transactions, the importance of the notary's role in the document validation process only grows. Topaz Systems provides the hardware and software tools and techniques that notaries need to fully assert their role in an electronic economy.

Topaz accomplishes this in several ways. One method is with simultaneous ink-on-paper and electronic signature capture tablets. This allows notaries to record a paper signature while capturing an identical electronic copy, with no tablet adjustments or special notary books required. This electronic signature can be stored and used in the future as a reference, should a person's future electronic signature authenticity be called into question. Another way Topaz expands the role of the notary in electronic commerce is by providing the necessary electronic signature capture hardware and software that allows web services, time-and-date-stamping, and digital seal providers to integrate forensic-quality signatures into their applications for more robust authentication capability. For more information, review the guide to Best Practices for electronic notary journals and electronic signatures.

SignatureGem tablets are backed with a standard 3-year warranty and the support of powerful SigAnalyze software, provided to forensic examiners to authenticate Topaz-captured eSignatures. By converting pen events at high speed and accuracy, SigPlus binds a signature's biometric characteristics into a document, which are in turn capable of examination and authentication by forensic experts if necessary.
