Authentidate's compliant solution enhances invoice portal and improves

customer service

DUESSELDORF, Germany, Jan. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Hays AG, the German subsidiary of Hays plc., one of the world's leading specialist recruitment companies, announced today that it has implemented electronic invoicing to optimize processes and improve customer service.

Hays stated that it chose an electronic signature solution from Authentidate Deutschland GmbH, a subsidiary of Authentidate International AG, an electronic signature specialist. Authentidate's legally compliant signature solution was seamlessly integrated into Hays' infrastructure in order to provide an electronic solution for incoming invoices from the Company's business partners.

Hays' business partners, such as freelancers who are placed with different clients by recruiters, can now create their invoices to Hays using the portal by applying an electronic signature as required by law. This solution allows Hays to receive invoices electronically, eliminating the need for paper, thereby cutting costs. Invoices can be deducted from input tax due to the signature functionality integrated by Authentidate. Hays is also considering a signature solution for outgoing invoices to customers.

The Authentidate signature solution has been tested and implemented by a variety of international companies, and has proven to be a highly flexible solution to integrate. Hays also uses the Authentidate Signature Check Server to verify signatures as required by law, resulting in a fully electronic purchasing invoice process.

The solution will be presented at the Enterprise-Signature-Day

Feb. 21, 2008 - Duesseldorf, Germany
