In an on-going effort to accelerate their time-to-market, the Montreal office of Bechtel Mining and Metals North America, part of the world’s leading engineering and construction firm, has chosen ApproveIt® Desktop to streamline signature approvals within their engineering design, change, and quality assurance processes. The Montreal office is the second Bechtel division to deploy Silanis electronic signatures, the first being at Bechtel Plant Machinery in Pittsburgh, PA.

Montreal, QC (PRWEB) March 6, 2006 -- In an on-going effort to accelerate their time-to-market, the Montreal office of Bechtel Mining and Metals North America, part of the world’s leading engineering and construction firm, has chosen ApproveIt® Desktop to streamline signature approvals within their engineering design, change, and quality assurance processes. The Montreal office is the second Bechtel division to deploy Silanis electronic signatures, the first being at Bechtel Plant Machinery in Pittsburgh, PA.

By eliminating the need to print and route paper between Bechtel’s engineering staff, who is spread out across the world, the company expects to significantly reduce the time and cost it takes for project documents to be signed and approved. ApproveIt Desktop is being used in conjunction with an e-room document collaboration suite from Documentum to electronically sign batch Adobe PDF files and maintain a 100% electronic process.

In addition to eliminating the inefficiencies of paper from their daily processes, Silanis’ solution also produces reliable and auditable business records needed to demonstrate compliance with applicable laws, standards, regulations and policies. ApproveIt Desktop combines the security of a digital signature with a legally enforceable, electronic signature process. The solution goes one step further by incorporating advanced electronic approval features to ensure ease-of-use, high user adoption and support for everyday, real-world business applications.

Silanis also provides Bechtel Mining & Metals with a flexible and scalable solution that can grow with their future enterprise needs. Sharing the same core signing engine, Silanis’ comprehensive suite of enterprise solutions, consisting of desktop, XHTML- and web-based products, enable electronic signing within both operational and transactional processes with the assurance that the solutions are cross-compatible.
