REDWOOD SHORES, Calif. and TEL AVIV, Israel, Jan. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Communication Intelligence Corporation ("CIC") (OTC Bulletin Board: CICI), a leading supplier of electronic signature solutions for business process automation in the financial industry* and the recognized leader** in biometric signature verification and Shadow Computers Ltd. ("Shadow") (DBA:  Tsel Mahashevim Ltd.), a leading Israeli banking and insurance software developer and consulting company specializing in implementing computer technology to automate workflow and streamline paperless business processes, announced today that they have signed an agreement for integrating and reselling CIC's full suite of electronic signature solutions in Israel. 

Under the terms of the agreement CIC will provide its industry proven electronic signature technology for Shadow's InSure-Thesigner document platforms to enhance the form, functionality, and ease-of-use of its systems as well as other software and platforms.  InSure-Thesigner was designed to leverage an organization's existing IT investments to enable quick and easy deployment.  CIC's eSignature capabilities can be quickly added to the existing application and can be used to sign widely accepted document formats, including Word, Excel, Adobe Acrobat, and HTML.  Once signed the signature is permanently embedded in the document which is streamed into the organization's existing workflow, content management, and document storage systems. 

Shadow plans to provide electronic signature capture & verification, at every level for the banking and insurance industries as well as other vertical markets in Israel.  The company has already secured a top-tier bank in Israel as its first customer for an integrated electronic signature solution and has been working closely with several other financial industry firms in the region. 

"This is a significant milestone in the future of electronic signature in Israel," stated Yaron Cohen, Shadow's CEO.  "Until now, one vendor had a lock on the financial services market as the only eSignature provider in Israel.  Armed with CIC's proven technology for banking and insurance, Shadow now has the backing and resources that is needed to provide full-scale, legally binding and compliant electronic signature solutions which meet the rigorous requirements of Israeli legislation.  CIC's proven solutions provide Shadow leading-edge technology that is accepted throughout the world as a best-in-class solution for electronic signature."
