SignatureOne® Ceremony® And iSign® Certified By IRI

REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., April 25, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Communication Intelligence Corporation ("CIC" or the "Company") (OTCQB: CICI), a leading supplier of electronic signature solutions and the recognized leader in biometric signature verification, today reported that the Insured Retirement Institute ("IRI") had granted the Company its E-Signature Certification.

The IRI E-Signature Certification provides verification that CIC is fully compliant with strict standards established by state and federal law (UETA and ESIGN), the Standards and Procedures for Electronic Records and Signatures (SPeRS) and IRI's own Straight-Through Processing ("STP") standards that include ACORD data and messaging standards, among others.

For the benefit of CIC's insurance sector clients, this certification further validates that the Company's esignature offering represents a robust and legally binding solution. The Company's iSign® family of products and services, and its core signature engine, SignatureOne® Ceremony®, deliver a secure, flexible and scalable esignature solution, and electronic signatures that are sealed, tamper-evident and that can withstand scrutiny and repudiation attempts.

"CIC's principal objective is to be the most trusted provider of electronic signatures, any time, any place and when proof of commitment really matters," stated Robert Williams, CIC's Vice President, Sales. "We are proud to have been granted IRI's certification and to demonstrate our ongoing commitment to our clients. We have been enabling true STP for over 10 years and will continue to be a leader in the delivery of secure and legally binding signatures."

"IRI continues leading the way to address operational challenges in processing annuities and retirement strategies and products," stated Cathy Weatherford, IRI's President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our STP standards and related certifications were established to ensure that best practices are maintained as our industry keeps pace with innovative technologies like those offered by trusted partners like CIC. We congratulate CIC for its ongoing commitment to our stakeholders and to the maintenance of high and rigorous industry standards."

"The insurance sector remains at the forefront of our efforts," stated Katherine Dease, CIC's Vice President, Product Management. "Each year, 6 of the top 10 insurance companies process hundreds of millions of esignatures and save millions of dollars using our solutions. With the support of partners like IRI, we plan on delivering similar ROI to a growing number of insurance focused enterprises. Interested parties should visit us at the upcoming IRI Operations & Technology Conference on May 19 – 21, 2013, in Kissimmee, Florida. I will be on the panel for the 1035 Exchange Processing breakout session and my colleague, Brett Mendenhall, Director, Insurance Solutions, will be on the panel for the Mobile Revolution breakout session."
