Thomas has been working in the field of electronic signatures since 2002 and has seen many standardization initiatives come and go. For him, the Cloud Signature Consortium (CSC) is different. The CSC won him over from the start because it is truly international, supported by industry leaders, and takes a very holistic approach to boosting the adoption of electronic signatures. In his opinion, it is crucial to understand and address all the different aspects to be successful, such as technological, legal, and organizational aspects, while also focusing on marketing and awareness. Finally, he sees the CSC as a very strong stakeholder group that brings together many relevant players.
