With DIGIFIRMA you can sign a document from anywhere and it is a technological security tool considered the only mechanism that allows you to secure digital documentation on the Internet.
Santo Domingo.- The Santo Domingo Chamber of Commerce and Production (CCPSD) presented to the market its product called DIGIFIRMA, a digital signature tool with technological security that allows guaranteeing the identity of the user and the authorship of the documents.
The president of the CCPSD, Jochi Vicente, stated that this technological solution corresponds to the Chamber's constant search to provide solutions that facilitate trade between Dominican and foreign companies.
“Digifirma is the solution that allows us to conduct transactions or sign documents from anywhere,” said Vicente, who added, “With this technology , we close the security gap that exists for conducting e-commerce between our companies, and we contribute to efficiency, cost and time savings , and we contribute to the development of businesses in our country .”
According to Vicente, DIGIFIRMA's main objective is to respond to an imminent market need , because although digital signatures are not yet required as a formal requirement for businesses in the Dominican Republic, they are beginning to be part of the requirements that companies internationally demand, in order to validate and guarantee the security of commercial operations carried out electronically.
The CCPSD is a Certification Entity authorized by the Dominican Institute of Telecommunications (INDOTEL) with the power to issue digital certificates from its platform. These certificates are revolutionizing processes that, until now, have been carried out manually, by using electronic options such as DIGIFIRMA. This allows businesses to maintain or even increase their work pace and results without requiring the physical presence or travel of people to affix their handwritten signatures, considerably reducing important factors such as time and processes, and consequently making economic resources more efficient, explained the President of the CCPSD.
In his words, Mr. Vicente said that “During the last few years at the Santo Domingo Chamber of Commerce we have focused on aligning our efforts with the new trends in Information and Communication Technologies. We decided to take on the challenge of providing a security tool to businesses so that they can protect their digital transactions and thus fulfill our purpose of fostering a healthy, solid and growing business environment.”
Digifirma is designed for any business, entrepreneur, independent professional, or individual who wants to protect and guarantee the accuracy of the information they share online.
