Retarus joins TrustWeaver partner network to offer best-in-class e-invoice compliance 20 July 2009, Stockholm TrustWeaver is proud to announce that it has won Retarus, a leading provider of Messaging Solutions and Managed Services, as a new partner offering TrustWeaver’s On Demand services. With this comprehensive new partnership, TrustWeaver further broadens the community of European and global companies that can seamlessly interoperate while ensuring local auditability and compliance of their electronic invoices. Retarus customers can now benefit from advanced levels of evidence under the laws of 40+ countries that their invoices are real and have remained unchanged from the moment they were issued up the end of their legal storage period – without ever having to worry about managing keys, certificates or maintaining compliance knowledge in any of these jurisdictions. After a record-breaking TrustWeaver On Demand integration within a single week, Retarus reinforced its rapidlygrowing e-invoicing market footprint by immediately taking end customers live with compliant electronic signature creation, validation and audit capabilities for invoices in Germany, Italy, France, Switzerland, Austria and Spain. “TrustWeaver brings us a one-stop legal compliance environment that truly delivers immediate value to our customers, who in many cases have so far been reluctant to drop paper invoices across the board. Now they can literally turn off the printers when they want and actually gain legal certainty in the process.” said Martin Hager, Managing Director of Retarus. “Retarus is a perfect partner for us.” said Christiaan van der Valk, TrustWeaver’s CEO. “Companies can only get the benefits of B2B automation if they acknowledge that they have to comply with laws, which are by definition made and enforced within country borders. Since TrustWeaver and Retarus share a vision of modern B2B communications natively resolving jurisdictional differences, the fit between our solutions was very natural. By integrating TrustWeaver On Demand, Retarus shows it is serious about further bolstering its strong position in the business of automatic document delivery and business communications”.
