E-Lock and Avain Technologies enter strategic partnership agreement

According to the agreement, the two companies will co-operate on marketing and selling their products and in future also on product development of electronic signatures.

With the agreement, the E-Lock product family's networking and digital signature client applications developed especially for the MicroSoft environment are accompanied with the Avain technologies X-suite product family's browser based open standard solutions for electronic signatures, forms, and long time archiving. This is expected to strengthen the market position for both companies, domestically and globally.

"We are very glad to sign a business partnership deal with Avain Technologies. We will benefit from Avain Technologies' expertise in creating and tailoring software for digital signatures, forms, and archival", says Suniel Mande - VP Sales for E-Lock.

"This means more versatile products and more profitable and systematic utilization of existing sales channels," says Pekka Kuosmanen, MD Avain Technologies. Additionally, shared product development resources will enable more efficient product development and therefore more flexible customer service.
