February 2, 2017 - Acronis, a global leader
in hybrid-cloud data protection and storage is proud to announce
that global ERP vendor Acumatica integrated Acronis Notary™ and
Acronis ASign™ into its Cloud ERP platform to protect documents and
ledgers with digital fingerprints and certificates of authenticity.
Acronis Notary and Acronis ASign brings great benefits to
Acumatica's customers, partners, and independent software vendors
by protecting data from tampering and therefore increasing long
term compliance and transparency of all transactions.
Acronis is one of the first global companies to make
blockchain-based data verification ready for production
environment. Both products are easy to use and easy to integrate
into third-party services and applications through API, making the
process of data certification extremely simple and cost effective.
Acronis Notary is also available as a service for personal use and
small office and home office (SoHo) businesses. It has the capacity
to improve peer to peer collaboration by establishing trust.
"Blockchain is going to revolutionize the relationship between
customers and vendors' said Jon Roskill, CEO of Acumatica, "
stablishing a higher level of trust between different parties, all
because documents and transactions can be easily traced and
verified by any party and at any time. Acronis Notary and Acronis
ASign fits perfectly into Acumatica's business model as we enable
small businesses around the world to meet the demand for compliance
and operations transparency,"
How do Acronis Notary and Acronis ASign protect data from
tampering?
Acronis Notary generates unique signatures of data and
transactions and enters them into the global distributed blockchain
database. Blockchain-secured data has provable integrity because
the data is attributed to an irrefutable identity, is validated by
all copies of the ledger, is always available, and can never be
changed.
Acronis ASign allows multiple parties to execute and certify a
document with a secure and publicly auditable digital signature.
Acronis ASign generates a unique certificate that contains images
of the signatures, timestamps, and other information, providing an
audit trail that can be at any time verified as authentic with the
help of blockchain.
Acronis' blockchain-based data verification is a standard part
of Acronis data protection and storage products such as Acronis
Storage and Acronis True Image 2017 New Generation. It is designed
for easy integration into third party services such as Acumatica
and have vertical application in retail, service, and
manufacturing.
"Growing threats to cyber security created a need for an
unquestionable method to prove data integrity. Software vendors and
customers look for an easy way to make sure that their data has not
been tampered with. This is where Acronis Notary with its
blockchain-backend comes into play. It is the most reliable
technology available on the market today, and Acronis makes it easy
for everyone," said Serg Bell, founder and CEO or Acronis.
