Oodrive Now Owned LegalBox

Oodrive SAS acquired LegalBox SAS, French specialist in workflow automation solutions and electronic signature books.

This acquisition comes after a long-standing technological partnership for responding to e-signature tenders, for which both companies have proposed their complementary areas of expertise.
 
Collaboration that favors clients
LegalBox, which specializes in electronic documents with probative value, assists companies in their digitization projects for incoming, internal, and outgoing document workflow.
 
Oodrive, through its subsidiary, CertEurope, is introducing electronic identification and digital trust services in compliance with the technical requirements put forth by the The National Cybersecurity Agency of France (ANSSI), the RGS (RGS certification operator), and the European eIDAS regulation.
 
LegalBox’s solution brings a functional component for workflow management to Oodrive’s digital trust, from validation to the electronic signature of documents, ensuring the probative value of each action.
 
“We are thrilled with the acquisition of LegalBox, which aligns with the Oodrive group’s external growth strategy. This acquisition will allow us to position ourselves at the same level as key players in the electronic signature and digital trust strategic market. With this integration, Oodrive’s electronic signature solution, CertSign, reaffirms its position as the best alternative to American solutions,” explains Cédric Mermilliod, co-founder and MD, Oodrive Group.
 
Catalyst acquisition for development and innovation
Acclaimed by public and private players, the electronic signature book is a growth driver for Oodrive. Its integration with e-signatures will allow the firm to position itself at the level of key players in this strategic market and respond to 100% of requests in France and abroad.
 
To guarantee this technology’s power and sustainability, a LegalBox team has already joined Oodrive’s technical management team. It skills in technology, compliance, and in the regulatory demands of this market have enabled Oodrive to offer its clients a solution for electronic signature books in order to manage their signature workflows.
 
“This integration is very positive. Our clients will benefit from specialized expertise and highly secure solutions for managing their sensitive data. This integration will also equip us with the latest innovations in the field so that we can provide more extensive product offers that are more comprehensive and comply with market expectations that are constantly changing,” reports David Keller, former CTO of LegalBox.
