As of 1 January 2007, financial institutions in France are required to use electronic signatures for reports issued to their country’s banking commission (COREP, FINREP and soon BAFI). For this reason, Viveo is partnering with Dictao, a leading designer and developer of trust systems, and has selected its AdSigner electronic signature software solution for integration within its V.bank regulatory product, already in use by more than 600 financial institutions. Viveo has the utmost confidence in Dictao AdSigner, which it feels to be the best technological response available in the area of electronic signature solutions. This product is certified EAL 3+ (Evaluation Assurance Level 3+), its reliability and security have also been officially recognised by the French banking commission, and it offers fast and simple deployment.

An architect and builder of trust systems, Dictao specialises in the technology issues related to information systems security and paperless processes.

Dictao develops and markets electronic signature, signature validation and proof administration software products. Among other features offered by its solutions are the ability to replace traditional handwritten signatures with digital signatures providing equivalent legal guarantees.
