In the commercial insurance space, [RMail] is definitely a positive tool…The ability
to not have to assemble multiple documents solves one of our major challenges. From
a cost perspective, this was a fairly substantial savings.

Main Benefit
Hood Hargett & Associates has optimized sending encrypted email, Registered Email messages with
proof of delivery and privacy, and RSign electronic signature services which benefits its clients and the
carriers it interacts with.
Hood Hargett & Associates reports the main benefits of RMail and RSign services as:
-
Assurance of privacy compliance with email encryption simple enough that people enjoy using
it. RMail® email encryption is so easy, especially for the recipient, that it encourages use
and thereby reduces risk of data breaches or privacy enforcement actions. Not all encryption
services are the same; others are too burdensome and, as a result, are little used and
therefore increase risk (from non-use or circumvention of use). With today’s more
sophisticated privacy regulations (e.g. HIPAA) and hacker tactics, encryption is essential.
RMail makes it easy, enjoyable, automated.
-
eSign Simple Enough that People Actually Enjoy Using. Plus, all the features you will ever
need. RSign® makes eSignatures so simple for all staff, that it encourages use. More use
means more cost savings, administrative time savings, and faster business. RSign includes
all the enterprise-grade features and training you will ever need.
-
Peace of mind, end-user visibility of successful delivery for important messages, with
proof. RMail® Registered Email™ services makes delivery and open tracking visible to the
sender, providing assurance and peace of mind that important email was successfully
delivered. This is returned in the self-authenticating Registered Receipt™ e-record, making
it easy to resolve disputes – as easy as forwarding this receipt to any questioning party.
The receipt is a self-contained forensic record, eliminating the need to scour server logs
to try to investigate and present delivery evidence.
-
Legal and Auditable Proof. Assurance, confidence, and peace of mind. RSign® makes it easy to
view and rely on the Signature Certificate for electronic signature tracking, a forensic audit trail, and
sent and signed content and timestamp information. A robust record of who signed what when
provides confidence that the electronic signature process and record will stand up to scrutiny if ever
challenged in the future. Legal Proof®.
-
Cost savings with less paper, mail, postage, and administrative time. RMail® Registered
Email™ and RSign® eSignature services replace printing, postage (first class, receipt, and
certified mail), scanning, faxing, administrative work and other hard costs. Businesses can
send required notices with proof of content delivered and timestamped. Users can easily send
agreements for recipient electronic signoff or easily eSign documents that they receive,
thus saving wasted time, cost, and other drains on your business.
Automation
Hood Hargett & Associates uses RMail and RSign services to support clients and the carriers they
represent. Hood Hargett & Associates automates email encryption by using the RMail interface
running within Microsoft Outlook which hooks with Applied Systems Epic agency management system.
This makes it easy and automated for staff to send encrypted email for privacy compliance and
e-security, plus returns proof of privacy and e-delivery compliance. For each message sent, a
Registered Receipt email record is automatically returned providing proof of e-delivery
compliance and privacy compliance. Hood Hargett & Associates automates electronic signatures with RSign
Online. Each message sent for eSignature automatically manages the eSign and form fill
process, returning certified electronic signature records.
