Analyst report defines evaluation criteria for E-Signatures
How do you evaluate e-signatures as an enterprise software application? Evaluating enterprise software in and of itself is a complex undertaking. However, as electronic signature deployments gain momentum, businesses and government are looking for an independent perspective to provide guidance on how they can best leverage e-signatures across multiple sales channels and lines of business.
Simply put, organizations of all sizes recognize the potential of digital signature technologies throughout the enterprise, but with so many vendors offering a wide variety of point technologies and solutions, it can be challenging to fairly and confidently evaluate which will best meet their particular needs and requirements.
In response to this, Forrester Research analyst Craig Le Clair recently published a report entitled, �What to look for in E-Signature Providers� In it he offers some practical advice on how to evaluate vendors based on the following criteria:
Company stability and global reach
Professional services
Evidence of enterprise capability
Solution accelerators
Multi-session management
Customizability
Strength of electronic evidence
Extensiveness of mobility integration
The research report also describes four e-signature use cases to help frame your requirements and it also describes the importance of digital signature technologies: mediated, unmediated, third party and internal. While many of the eight criteria listed above apply to all four use cases, their weight and importance as selection criteria will vary since the requirements of an externally facing mediated use case will be different from those of an internal approval process, for example.
Which processes would your organization start e-signing first: externally facing transactions (mediated, unmediated or third-party) or internal processes?
Mediated processes are those that require an intermediary in a call center, in the field, or in another channel, to interface with the customer and help do things like fill in information on forms, explain terms and conditions and coordinate the signing process. Mortgages and car loans are common examples.
Unmediated processes don�t require someone up-front to assist the customer. These are typically self-serve online transactions such as e-commerce transactions and self-directed financial products, including commoditized insurance purchases.
Third-party processes occur between an organization and external business partners that are typically not recurring � as one-off processes, they involve a high degree of variability from one deal to the next, and can involve several parties. Think of legally binding commercial contracts and leases, venture capital investments, etc.
Internal processes are the myriad daily administrative processes that require signature approvals, from HR documents to QA approvals for accountability and ISO compliance in manufacturing.
Above all, an enterprise e-signature solution should scale easily across all use case segments and provide an optimal e-signature process for each. Start by defining the processes your organization will automate first, and build your requirements around the evaluation criteria best suited to your use case.

If you're Windows Operating System user since long time than you have must noticed significant changes in every new Microsoft Windows Logo Design. It seems that Microsoft is also thinking to change the Logo Design of Windows 8 and will replace the Windows 7 Logo Design with new and simple Windows 8 Logo Design which is more similar like Windows Starter Logo Design way back when company launched the Windows without any four major colors in Windows Logo. In the recent Windows 8 consumer preview, Microsoft had introduced the new and improved Windows 8 Logo consists on one color impact.
Microsoft Windows 8 is a bold departure from previous editions of Windows. Now the Windows Logo is being reimagined, as well, and the results may surprise some people. Microsoft hired the international Logo Design Company named "Pentagram", which has also created the Logo Design's for Metropolitan Museum, Nissan and Walgreens and many others to reimagine the logo. The company has developed the new Windows Logo consist on blue imprimatur that leans toward the clean lines of Windows 8�s new Metro interface, while paying homage to Windows logos of the past. It seems strange that Microsoft would change the Windows Logo so close to release, moving away from branding that has existed for at least two decades.
New Microsoft Windows 8 Logo Design:
Check out the following New and improved Windows 8 Logo Screenshot and Pictures from Windows 8 Consumer Preview released..
History of Microsoft's Windows Logo Design:
We have summarized the history of Windows Logo Design from the previous released editions of Windows and have also emerged the Starter Original Windows Logo Design when Microsoft launched Windows.
Original Windows Starter Logo: The era before they decided to add four colors.
Windows 3.1 Logo: The first introduction of the four color scheme in 1992, and the waving appearance of the flag.
Windows 95 Logo: This brought in the cloud background many of us new well, an gave significant updates to the 3.1 logo.
Windows 98 Logo: Only a slight improvement over the Windows 95 logo; it is a bit smoother with thicker center lines.
Windows 2000 Logo: Slightly more engaged with colors and contrast in Windows 2000 Logo.
Windows Me Logo: More new colors and improvements from old Windows 2000 Logo design.
Windows XP Logo: Here Microsoft ditched the trail effect and the borders for a much cleaner look.

Windows 7 Logo: A flashier, brighter upgrade, which can be said for the operating system as a whole as well.
New Windows 8 Logo: You can see the inspiration of the original logo here. Gone are the waving panles and the classic four colors.
According to the latest Sales Report from IHS conducted competition between Apple products in Q4 of 2011. It has been observed that tablet market is really going higher with the maximum revenue from Apple iPad and iPad 2 and also from Amazon's Kindle Fire tablet. But according to the report Apple's iPad is actually facing competition with its own sibling iPhone in terms of most selling in Q4 of 2011. No doubt that Apple's iPad generation tablets have beat Amazon's Kindle Fire in term selling but still it�s far behind as compare to Apple iPhone Smartphone.
IHS report has mentioned that in the last three months of 2011, Apple shipped 15.4 million iPads and iPad 2s. During that same period, Apple slipped from 64% of the global media market to 57%. Apple's CEO Tim Cook has also recently revealed that the company sold more iOS devices last year than it sold Macs in 28 years. According to Rhoda Alexander, IHS Senior Manager; �Shipments of the iPad line fell short of IHS estimates in the fourth quarter as many loyal Apple customers devoted their dollars to shiny new alternatives,� However, the primary alternative wasn�t the Kindle Fire which debuted to solid sales in the fourth quarter but Apple�s own iPhone 4S smartphone. The rollout of the iPhone 4S in October generated intense competition for Apple purchasers� disposable income, doing more to limit iPad shipment growth than competition from the Kindle Fire and other media tablets.�

Like Twitter and Google+ social networking website's Facebook is now also offering Verified Facebook Accounts and Profiles for celebrities and individuals personalities. Unlike Twitter and Google+ Facebook will not feature any graphical symbol or text to be shown on Verified Facebook Accounts but it will provide more exposure and online presence to verified Facebook accounts holders. For every verified Facebook account holder it is necessary to use their real names when they sign up but it differs from those of Twitter and Google Plus in one major way that users will not see any kind of badge or any other graphic indicating that the account is verified or not.
If any Facebook user wants to verify their profiles and accounts to be shown publicly they must have to provide images of official, government-issued IDs or any official documents mentioned their real public existence which the social network will delete after verification. Those users must also submit their alternative names, which Facebook must approve. Verified Profiles and Account holders real names will still appear on the about page of their profiles, and that they have options for the way their names are displayed on the profile. Verified Facebook Accounts and Profiles will enjoy priority in Facebook�s suggestions of users to subscribe to. Verified user profiles and accounts will not be offered a method of applying, Facebook will initiate the process when any subscriber profiles or accounts once reached to the maximum limit of 60K+ subscribers, those will be intimate with a notification on profiles that have a large number of subscribers.
We think Facebook should provide any sign's or graphical badge that intimate about the verification of particular profiles and accounts like Twitter and Google+ giving but the lack of any sort of badge or graphic to let users know that personalities� profiles are authentic is puzzling. When users search for personalities, Twitter accounts has the check mark that signifies that the account is verified, and we see no reason why Facebook wouldn�t include something similar.

Facebook recent changes and upgradation of Facebook Profiles and converting it into Facebook Timeline was a major step from Facebook to make over every single Facebook layout and structure and now Facebook has given an indication that company is looking forward to convert Facebook Brand Pages into Facebook Timeline Brand Pages starting from this month February 2012. Facebook may start testing beta timeline for Facebook Brands and Business Pages as early as the end of this month.
A website Ad Age has reported cited off-the-record conversations with �executives briefed on� Facebook�s plans which says;
"The beta test of timeline for business pages would start with a small number of businesses and gradually expand to more participants."
"We hope to make pages more consistent with Timeline in the future, but we have nothing further to share at this time." - Facebook Spokesman
Last year in September, Facebook introduced a dramatic transformation of Facebook Profile Pages for its more than 800 million users with the Timeline format with users' entire history on the social network and now it�s time for brand pages to convert into Timeline. Timeline has significant implications for Facebook fan-page management. One top consideration is that a brand's Facebook presence no longer must date to when it joined the site but can be represented with content populating its Facebook Timeline from throughout its history. (Coca-Cola, for example, could hypothetically add an event for 1892, the year it was founded.)
Facebook will revealed more detail about the new Timeline Facebook Pages at its first-ever Facebook Marketing Conference (fMC) in New York on February 29, 2012. The last upgrade of business pages on Facebook took place last year in February, 2011; roughly two months after profiles had first made similar changes.
