DIGICERT is committed in forging a strong, symbiotic relationship with organisations and solutions providers world-wide. Over time we hope to gradually build a database of loyal business partners with our Business Partnership Program.

The e-business community is growing rapidly. By including digital certificates in a business web-hosting program, the customers will be assured of a legally supported product. This will also enable the SSL function in the business's customers web sites to be activated and therefore allow for safe and secure on-line transactions.The business will be able to position the web-hosting program as "e-business ready". By using DIGICERT's digital certificates, your customers will be able to parade their on-line credentials and the business shall in turn be able to boast a credible portfolio of clients.

On-line authentication is the next potential growth area. Whether it is for Intranet or Internet applications, clients need to be verified on-line, real time particularly for financial based applications. By using DIGICERT, several simultaneous benefits accrue immediately:

• DIGICERT's digital certificates has the force of law. Any communication and/or transactions conducted using these certificates are deemed legally enforceable. This explicitly denotes the concept of non-repudiation where the user cannot deny the action. This confers strong protection on corporations and clients particularly in the business world. The potential for applications is enormous.
• By partnering DIGICERT, the business will have world class infrastructure, system, policies, procedures and experienced human resources at its disposal with virtually no extra investment.
• The speed to market is almost instantaneous, as the roll out can be exercised immediately. This will give the business considerable lead-time over competitors.
