"The tremendous increase in GMO GlobalSign document signing and timestamping
usage indicates there is continuous demand for trusted documents as people and
organizations are increasingly transforming and adopting them all the time,"
said Mohit Kumar, Manager, Product Management, GMO GlobalSign. "Worldwide,
people are realizing there is a more secure way to tie up their identities to
ensure trust in a document. As a provider of trusted identity solutions, we
are very pleased to be playing a crucial role as companies are increasingly
looking for ways to guarantee security and identity."

Document signing via electronic and digital signatures are increasingly relied
upon as digital transformation continues to sweep businesses worldwide.
Solutions such as digital signatures or seals are ideal for modern hybrid,
mobile workforces to sign important documents such as contracts and invoices
easily and securely. In addition, the cost and time savings can be
significant. GMO GlobalSign's document solution users range from leading
global enterprises to SME's in all major industry vertical marketplaces.

In addition, there is growing interest in GMO GlobalSign's newest document
signing solution for qualified signatures. The company recently launched
a Qualified Signing Service (https://pr.report/trl93IvE)  (QSS) which
enables both enterprises and service providers to deploy qualified electronic
signatures and seals into their signing application with a simple REST API
integration for internal employee signing. The GlobalSign QSS offering
conforms to eIDAS, a critical regulation in the European Union.
