Docupace Technologies, SIGNiX Automate The Legend Group®'s Account Processing

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 1, 2013 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Docupace Technologies, LLC, an industry leader in providing SEC/FINRA-compliant paperless processing systems for financial services firms, and SIGNiX, Inc., the leading cloud-based digital signature solution provider, have joined forces to provide independent broker-dealer Legend Equities Corporation, a part of The Legend Group of companies, with a comprehensive straight-through processing (STP) and digital signature solution for its 400 registered representatives.

"Through a close working relationship among SIGNiX, Docupace and Legend, we succeeded in overcoming the industry's long-standing challenge of straight-through processing," said Docupace EVP Tom Embrogno. "Legend's executives are forward thinkers with the ability to flawlessly execute."

The STP system enhances advisors' productivity by offering a comprehensive forms library with Legend, mutual fund and insurance company forms, all of which can be auto-populated with multiple eSignatures. The entire process is efficient and accurate and results in a lower NIGO (not-in-good-order) rate and easier resolution for the few issues that may arise. The system integration was completed in October 2012 and quickly resulted in 200 out of 400 advisors using the STP solution within 6 months. Legend currently has approximately 300 users on board and is focused on achieving 100 percent adoption in the near future.

"Our digital signature process uses advanced, standards-based cryptography to achieve best-in-class security and enables our broker-dealer clients to feel confident that they are in compliance with regulations," said Jay Jumper, SIGNiX CEO. "The straight-through processing of forms and documents reduces errors and enables fast access to electronic documents for auditing purposes."

"This STP solution allows our advisors to pre-populate paperwork, obtain electronic signatures, and submit and store documents without ever having to print a page," said Miralda Gingrich, president of The Legend Group/ADSERV.  "Our partnership with Docupace and SIGNiX has enabled us to implement a leading-edge solution to save our advisors time, space and money. This is a huge competitive advantage for our business."

One Legend branch office that was an early adopter anticipates a savings of $18,000 per year by not having to use UPS to send documents back and forth. Advisors now can carry their entire office in their briefcase, and many feel that the Docupace/SIGNiX solution will be an indispensable tool for growing their business. 

"We are very excited about the efficiencies our STP 'paperless' system affords our advisors.  Not only does it act as a virtual assistant, but our advisors will get paid quicker.  It will help them expedite processing time, eliminate errors and streamline their businesses," added Legend's Senior Vice President Regina Rudnick.
