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 – October 3, 2006 – Hyland Software Inc., developer of OnBase® 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. Because a variety of file types need to be validated, 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 very 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 at 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."
