What happened
- Signers reuse their itsme digital identity, with identity verification via NFC, facial recognition, or personal code, and a certificate from a Qualified Trust Service Provider.
- The QES functionality will be available with Odoo 20.
Why it matters to Signicat
- Itsme extends its identity-based signing reach into a large business application suite (Odoo reports 28 million users), a competitive overlap with Signicat's electronic signing and eID-based signing offering.
- The source is a vendor press release; QES performance and adoption claims (under one minute, high volumes) are itsme and Odoo statements, not independently verified.
