Settleware Secures Services. Inc., the pioneering electronic and digital signature leader has expanded its offering to small to medium sized business (SMB), ‘We’re excited to offer immediate ROI solutions to SMB’s and have enjoyed our partnership with Your Car Our Drive. Founder Josef Wojtkow continues to explode his business and we’re pleased to provide an integral component” says Rick Triola, President & CEO Settleware

“With the high cost of having a administrative staff, Settleware has been the perfect cost effective fit for Your Car Our Driver(YCOD). It has allowed us the freedom to concentrate on business development and not administrative by allowing Settleware’s technology platform to take care of all our client setup documents. We have many high profile clients and this platform has given our clients the peace of mind knowing the information that they give YCOD is securely stored. Additionally, with the high fraudulent credit card misuse, Settleware has given YCOD a backup plan that the client electronically authorized future charges with the IP signature solution. I highly recommend Settleware to any company desiring to save on administrative costs and to protect their confidential client information “stated Josef Wojtkow, CEO

In the US, almost 80 % of all employer firms have fewer than 10 employees and nearly 90% have fewer than 500 employees. These firms are the backbone of the American economy and account for half of the GDP and more than half of all employment. “Josef exemplifies the driving entrepreneur that has successfully identified a niche, solved the pain and capitalized on the opportunity. Saving time and money, more than 80% over traditional shipping costs, FedEx, UPS, USPS and couriers, is an absolute requirement for these companies to continue to strive, especially in these troubling times”, Triola continued

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ____________________________________________________________________________________

Settleware e-Signature Platform Expands Auditor Access to Escrow and Closing Industry

Settleware Secure Services, Inc. has been the ground-breaking electronic and digital signature leader since 1999.  The company recently unveiled a newly enhanced external ‘auditor’ feature which meets compliance standards and will help external auditors and examiners gain secure access.

Newport Beach, CA – MAY 17, 2011 – Settleware® Secure Services, Inc, the pioneering electronic signature and secure form workflow leader to the Real Estate, Escrow and Mortgage Industry today announced the release of an enhanced external ‘auditor’ feature. “Permission and rules based access to archived records to a secure e-vault satisfies a critical need for all escrow, settlement and closing agents in order to be compliant with state and federal regulations’ stated C. Richard Triola, President & CEO.

With more than 3 decades of real estate and escrow domain experience, Settleware (formerly ezEscrow.com) recognized that licensed escrow/settlement companies are required to complete financial audits every year to ensure compliance with State regulations and most licensed closing agents are subject to random, surprise examinations by the governing bodies.

“With the increased awareness that electronic signatures and electronic escrow will soon become the standard for all escrow and closing agents we needed to provide special roles and privileged access to not only State examiners but also independent CPA firms that need to review files and complete their audits. Granting these professionals secure access to view all digital and electronic files allows the Industry to readily adopt this “Game Changing’ and patented technology.

Featured in the best seller ‘Game Changers- Leading Entrepreneurs and How they are Changing the Game..’, (Amazon’ rated #1,  November 2010), Triola continued to describe how an e-Signature affixed to any/all contracts and agreements will become the standard, eliminating the ‘friction’ associated with paper, faxing, scanning and expensive overnight deliveries of agreements, and  urges all Escrow, Settlement and Closing Agents to explore not only the immediate benefits to all clients and  stakeholders but to also become stewards and drivers of good Corporate Social Responsibility. With the click of a mouse and zero carbon footprints it is not difficult to understand the impact on our environment for generations to come.

In a very important case the validity of e-Signatures was once again reaffirmed in Barwick vs. GEICO. To learn more about the ruling and validity of Electronic Signatures on Contracts and Agreements please read below:

It’s hard to believe that after more than a decade of the passage the Federal E-Sign Act (June 2000) we are still reeling from headlines like this:

More foreclosure irregularities alleged in Maryland

Former law firm employee says over 1,000 deeds were recorded with false signatures

You have to wonder what else it would take for the Industry to adopt secure and compliant electronic signatures, records, contracts, agreements and processing? ‘Robo-Signing’,  backdating and manipulative notarizations, people falsely ‘wet’ paper signing as imposters, etc.-astounding!

Now is the time for all good lenders, servicers and investors to reduce the ‘human error’ factor and protect all parties involved in one of the largest transactions anyone will make in their lifetime. identity verification, authentication, Tamper sealing, document integrity, secure e-Vaulting, etc.  No longer an experiment – the time is now to stop the Madness!
