Certified Document Delivery

Due to the time-sensitive nature of the transactions, there are many aspects of business and government that require certified proof of document delivery (Certified Document Delivery). Examples include bid responses, Federal and State tax information, payroll data, SEC reports, many legal documents and Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A). These needs cross an organization’s departmental boundaries, and it is common to find that multiple delivery methods are used, commonly including certified postal and courier services which although they provide proof of delivery with a physical signature, are slow and can be expensive.
