Inventive Designers recently held a press conference in cooperation with CIPAL and the city of Mechelen regarding IntelliStamp.
We recently discussed IntelliStamp, hence this update to inform you of our progress.

Press conference: unique hybrid signature finally makes e-government 100% digital
Mechelen, ranked 10th in the largest cities of Belgium, will be the first city that can digitally send documents and certificates to its citizens with complete legal compliance. A hybrid signature guarantees authenticity of the digital document, even after it is printed. The Belgian company Inventive Designers created the security and authentication software. CIPAL will be responsible for the implementation. Unique is the capability to secure any digital document even after it is printed. This was not possible until now.

We got a lot of positive attention from the press. You can find the results below.

• radio interview (Dutch - translation coming soon)
• television interview (Dutch - translation coming soon)

To see IntelliStamp in action, have a look at the webcasts.

Next to e-portals, IntelliStamp can also be deployed as a solution for e-archiving. Not only government, but also the private sector has shown a keen interest. Examples include insurance providers offering policies and contracts online, or utility companies sending out digital invoices.
Should you require more information, I am more than happy to show you how we helped Mechelen.
