Silanis' e-SignLive Business Unit Spearheaded by E-Signature Pioneer

December 19, 2011

A new challenge has been taken over by the long-time CTO of Silanis, Dr. Robert Al-Jaar. The company’s award-winning e-SignLive SaaS business unit will be now headed by Al-Jaar. He will be the new Executive VP of Online e-Signature Services. With immediate effect, Al-Jaar will focus exclusively on top Silanis’ multi-tenant online signing service.


Over the past 11 years, Al-Jaar has held multiple, pivotal roles at Silanis. These roles have spanned R&D, professional services, cloud operations, customer support and product management. He is one the few true pioneers of e-signatures. Silanis has achieved the top position in the enterprise e-signature space with the help of this technology visionary’s commitment and competitive drive. The industry’s first web-based, zero-client e-signature solution was developed under Al-Jaar’s supervision. This solution has now evolved into the flagship product of Silanis, the e-Sign Enterprise Platform. The success of all of Silanis’ top tier enterprise customers was also ensured by Al-Jaar. These included the entire US Army with its 1.4 million users and the largest consumer lending implementation of e-signatures to date.

In a release, Tommy Petrogiannis, founder and president of Silanis Technology, said, “There are only a handful of people in the world with Robert’s e-signature experience. Asking him to take responsibility for this new growth area represents our commitment to make the security, electronic evidence and reliability of our enterprise platform accessible to any size organization.”

According to Petrogiannis, online signing service segment is growing beyond simple e-signature solutions. Robust offerings are therefore required by regulated industries. Due to the company’s one-of-a-kind features like the patented Process Reviewer, markets that traditionally would not adopt SaaS models are now turning to Silanis.

The Process Reviewer is the key feature which differentiates e-SignLive from all other SaaS signing solutions. By capturing electronic evidence of exactly what occurred during each step of the signing transaction, the Process Reviewer provides ironclad legal enforceability. Even years later, organizations will be therefore able to easily and reliable reproduce that evidence.
