  • St. Louis, MO-IL (1888PressRelease) August 15, 2013 - Computime announced that it has entered into a distribution agreement with WacomŪ to sell its electronic signature and presentation solutions here in North America.

    Wacom's commitment to pen-based input devices is backed by more than 30 years designing, manufacturing and distributing its products to millions of satisfied customers around the globe. The company's vertical market products are used by a variety of businesses including insurance, healthcare, banking, hospitality, education and others. Recently, Wacom's European Business Solutions Group became the leading provider of electronic signature pads in Europe, a testament to Wacom's product design and quality engineering as well as a harbinger for growth with Computime and its customers on this side of the Atlantic.

    "This partnership is a strong strategic fit, leveraging both Wacom and Computime's respective strengths," said Tom Scott, Computime General Manager. "It will enhance Computime's position as the trusted source for eSignature capture solutions while significantly expanding Wacom's products in key, North American markets."

    A major resource for electronic signature capture products already, Computime's addition of Wacom's electronic signature pads to its product portfolio enables the company to seek out new opportunities with a proven leader. Wacom's electronic signature family including the STU-300, STU-500 and STU-520, offer unique differentiation that set the products apart from other manufacturers. Wacom's electro-magnetic resonance pen technology is virtually maintenance free with no batteries needed. The pen tether, to secure the pen to the pad, does not carry a signal. Because the technology is built underneath the glass, resistance to scratches and overall durability become key selling points. In addition, Wacom pens are pressure-sensitive, providing valuable forensic data for industries concerned with fraud. A three (3) year warranty is standard for all STU products.

    As for software, the STU family easily integrates with software from SOFTPRO, a world leading electronic signature software provider. Wacom and SOFTPRO have experienced tremendous success in Europe building customized solutions for different types of industries including banks and retail stores.

    "Wacom is pleased to be teaming with Computime to help ensure that paperless transactions become mainstream as companies seek new ways to save time and money as well as become better corporate citizens and environmentally aware," said Michael Marcum, vice president of Wacom's vertical market group for the Americas. "We are confident in Computime's ability to develop new sales opportunities and grow our businesses moving forward."

    For higher education classrooms and lecture halls or corporate training rooms, Computime will also distribute Wacom's line of interactive pen displays for professors and instructors seeking to deliver engaging and compelling presentations. Wacom's DTU-1031, DTU-1631, DTU-2231, DTU-2241 and DTH-2242 provide best-in-class pen performance and integrate with virtually all digital inking applications.
