ProofSpace Names Steve Lassig to Head Vertical Sales Organization

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) June 22, 2007 -- ProofSpace, Inc, a Chicagoland tech startup marketing patented trusted timestamping and data authentication technologies, has named respected local businessman Steve Lassig to head up sales efforts for vertical markets in the U.S.

A prolific and successful entrepreneur, Mr. Lassig brings over 20 years of experience in technical and business development roles within pharmaceutical, banking and manufacturing to ProofSpace. He co-founded and was CEO of Technology Professionals Corp., taking the company to #88 on the "INC 500" list before selling the company in December 2006. He is a three-time finalist for the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year award. Steve also co-founded and held leadership roles with Resource Ocean, a human resource Enterprise Resource Planning company, and Crane Software, an ERP company for the overhead crane industry.

ProofSpace builds "legally robust" data authentication solutions that thwart fraud, provide an undeniable record of good enterprise conduct, and repudiate false legal claims against client companies. The company's patented ProofMark™ Transient Key technology tags electronic business records with a self-validating cryptographic seal that acts as a "tamper indicator" based on a true and provable time-reference datum, impossible to manipulate, even by trusted insiders. ProofMark irrefutably proves that the content of a record has not changed since the ProofMark was applied, no matter where the data resides or who controls it.

Industry analysts have been bullish on the young company's prospects ever since the patented underlying technology was included in the American National Standard X9.95- 2005 ("Trusted Time Stamp Management and Security") published by ANSI ASC X9, the accredited standards body for the financial services industry. In fact, ProofSpace's system was the only method recognized by the ANSI X9.95 standard that can be deployed entirely as software inside of an enterprise, without depending on an external trusted third party.
