PFU, Fujitsu Computer Products of America and Hyland Software Announce Integration for the PFU TimeStamp Service

TimeStamp technology drives compliant records management
with secure verification in milliseconds

    CLEVELAND, Oct. 5 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Hyland
Software Inc., developer of OnBase(R) enterprise content
management (ECM) software, along with OnBase master VAR,
PFU, and technology partner, Fujitsu Computer Products of
America, today has announced the Integration for the PFU
TimeStamp Service module which will be available in
OnBase's version 6.2 scheduled for release later this
month. 

    The Integration for the PFU TimeStamp Service enables
users to ensure their documents remain authentic by
attaching digital timestamps at the time and date of
creation. Complementing OnBase's Records Management module,
the PFU TimeStamp Service can be compared to a type of
digital signature or digital notary, which allows the
TimeStamp to be witnessed by a third party. Once stamped,
the file captures a specific date and time with its own
unique identity, similar to a digital fingerprint. Data
integrity cannot be compromised and the TimeStamp cannot be
re-created.

    During transmission to the PFU TimeStamp Service, data
is encrypted to assure its integrity. To maintain
confidentiality, neither the users' actual data nor their
identities are sent outside the network. The integration
for the PFU TimeStamp Service is compatible with any file
format. 

    Having the ability to validate that the contents of a
file are unaltered will promote:
     - Legal credibility - ensuring authenticity and
adherence to ethical 
       standards as well as being in compliance with
standards such as 
       Sarbanes - Oxley, HIPAA, USA PATRIOT Act and Basel
II
     - Data integrity - validating a record has not been
tampered with 
       maintains the highest level of security
     - Intellectual Asset Protection - providing specific
and detailed 
       information as to when electronic-based property
originated

    "PFU has been a long time advocate of digital
timestamp technology and we're looking forward to offering
the PFU TimeStamp Service with our strategic partner,
Hyland Software. As U.S. regulations evolve, digital
timestamp technology can become an important component in
ensuring that public companies adhere to the highest level
of accuracy, integrity and compliance," said Shinichi
Satoh, general manager, International Sales Department, PFU
Limited.

    "We are proud to offer the PFU TimeStamp Service
with Hyland Software. The digital timestamp technology
gives customers the ability to have true third-party
validation of their electronic assets while maintaining a
high level of confidentiality and security," said
Victor Kan, vice president of sales and marketing, Imaging
Products Group, Fujitsu Computer Products of America.
"Hyland's OnBase software has always included a wide
range of functionality and the PFU TimeStamp Service is
another example of Hyland Software increasing the value
proposition to their customer base." 

    "The PFU Timestamp Service allows our users to
enhance their record retention strategy to include
tamper-proof document authenticity," said Miguel
Zubizarreta, CTO, Hyland Software. "With our
integration at both the document and folder level within
the Records Management module, organizations can ensure
authenticity, compliance and completeness of their
records."
