Hantec's holding company, the Hantec Group, was founded in 1990. Hantec currently operates three branches and five personal financial services centres in Hong Kong, and is expanding its business throughout the world. Information technology development has always been one of the core focuses for Hantec. They have outsourced their IT services and development function to Ringus Solution Enterprise Limited ("Ringus"). Ringus is also responsible for maintaining Hantec's online transactions services. Hantec adopted Digi-Sign's Internet Server Certificate to ensure the security level for its online transactions service. Freddy Lau, Managing Director from Ringus is impressed with the comprehensive, and fast responding support from the Hong Kong based company.

Encrypted data against hackers

Jason Lam, Manager of the IT department from Hantec, indicates that the Digi-Sign's Internet Server Certificate is easy to use. He says, "The installation process of the digital certificate is very simple. We install the digital certificate in our server and it is ready for use. The process is smooth and fast. Furthermore, we didn't need to invest additional resources. If we ever need to change our server, Digi-Sign will issue another Internet Server Certificate free of charge. It is so convenient."

Hantec provides various online transaction services on its websites, for example, services for forex trading, bullion trading, securities trading, futures trading, asset management and corporate finance. When customers are conducting online transactions on Hantec's websites, Digi-Sign's Internet Server Certificate encrypts the transferred data, precluding disclosure of sensitive data to third parties while confirming the authenticity of the websites. Customers' confidence is greatly enhanced by such a high security level and they can take full advantage of the benefits of conducting online transactions. Moreover, by using the digital certificate, emails and monthly portfolio valuation reports being sent to customers will not be tampered with.

Local full support

Digi-Sign maintains competitive advantages as a local certificate authority. Freddy said, "The before- and after-sales services provided by Digi-Sign impress me a lot, not only do the consultants possess excellent product knowledge, they also customise our needs and offer the best service so that we can achieve the optimal benefits. Digi-Sign also provides us with monthly reports which show the service details and expiry dates of the certificates. These enable us to manage the certificates conveniently. Digi-Sign is based in Hong Kong, they can provide us with timely and professional technical support services and advice. That's why we chose their services."

Freddy adds, "Since adopting Digi-Sign's digital certificate service, our operations are really smooth and there has been no incompatibility issue. In summation, we're very pleased and satisfied with the service and most importantly, so are our customers."
