Simply put, you need proof of what you've done and when you did it. Our
service provides strong evidence for both.
We started with a fairly small idea-we first thought of TimeStamping as
a tool for biomedical researchers, who need a way of verifying electronic
research notes. Since then, people across the entire spectrum of creative
and business processes have shown us that TimeStamps have more uses than
we'd ever have dreamed.
Using accepted time stamp standards allows organizations to more easily
comply with regulatory requirements at the national and local level, as
well as with their internal best practice protocols. When choosing an RFC
3161-compliant timestamping solution, since 1999 a growing number of leading
enterprises have turned to solutions from DigiStamp.
Here are just a few examples:

Scientists |

Traditionally, researchers kept bound, sequential notebooks, witnessed
and notarized from time to time by a third party. That doesn't work so
well for electronic records. If you integrate TimeStamps into your existing
software tools, though, every entry is verified. No one can ever successfully
question the integrity of your records. |
|
|
|
Corporations |
|
Our number one customer usage is by financial institutions such as banks and insurance companies to ensure they can prove their e-commerce records. An "electronic notary" is a low-cost solution that helps solve issues associated with regulatory compliance, risk mitigation and electronic data integrity. With that evidence in hand, enterprises can more easily verify compliance with regulations, ownership of intellectual property, and authenticity of electronic records.

Intellectual Property |
|
For nearly all major companies, your most crucial asset is intellectual property-so of course you already have processes to protect it. But DigiStamp’s e-TimeStamp works within existing processes to improve the validity of the results and reduce costs. We'll show you how to verify ideas easily, early, and often.
TimeStamps also make consultations safer. Suppose someone comes to you
with a presentation-but you discover that you're already developing what
they offer. How do you prove, later on, that you didn't steal their ideas?
Easy-if your earlier work is all TimeStamped.
Or suppose you want to consult with someone else on your new ideas or products,
maybe with the idea of a partnership. TimeStamps make Non-Disclosure Agreements
ironclad. You ever need worry that your consultants will steal your ideas,
because TimeStamps prove that your work predates the Non-Disclosure Agreement.
TimeStamp can be applied at every link in flow of electronic communications.
If you need to be able to prove who said what, to whom, and when, our Consulting
Services can develop a customized application uniquely suited to your needs.

Doctors |

Hand-written patients records, despite problems of legibility and wear-and-tear,
could be verified-if you had an expert in handwriting analysis, paper and
ink chemistry, and the like on hand, and if your expert was better than
the opponent's expert. How do you prove that your electronic patient records
were created in a timely manner and never altered? Easily-you TimeStamp
them. No arguments between expert witnesses required. |

Accountants |

When executives approve financial statements they must have confidence
that their electronic records have not been altered or backdated. When
you e-TimeStamp financial records, you can prove they've never been changed.
For example, when you close a set of books after a reporting cycle, you
e-TimeStamp the electronic files. In case of an audit, you have your proof.
Note, too, that TimeStamped records save you money and space. You close
your books electronically, e-TimeStamp them, and print them out only as
needed.

If your file is essentially your product, you know the anxieties of protecting your work.
You've mailed disks or print-outs to yourself in sealed envelopes, or recorded
your ownership with the copyright office-or just trusted to blind luck.
You've shredded early drafts and divided the remains between different
garbage cans. You've refused to get help from others for fear someone would
steal your ideas.
Now, all you have to do is TimeStamp your files. A page, an image, a chapter,
a draft-whatever. If it's on the computer, you can TimeStamp it-and never,
ever worry again about proving that you're the creator.

You name it |

Engineers, architects, inventors, on-line merchants-anyone who uses computers
to do your work-can benefit from TimeStamps. Ask yourself one simple question:
What's on your computer that you need to protect? If you have an answer,
chances are you need TimeStamps. |
