Case Study: Parchment secures academic credentials and reduces PKI overhead with GlobalSign Digital Signing Service

Parchment Uses GlobalSign Digital Signing Service to Secure Electronic Credentials for Academic Institutions

Parchment, a provider of academic credential management software for over 8,000 education institutions, faced a challenge with their resource-intensive, hardware-based system for digitally securing academic credentials. Their original deployment required significant internal effort and cost to manage on-premises hardware and keep up with cryptographic updates. To solve this, they turned to GlobalSign's cloud-based Digital Signing Service.

GlobalSign's solution provided Parchment with the same robust digital signature capabilities without the burden of managing hardware or PKI in-house. The move to this cloud service allowed Parchment to outsource complex cryptographic management to GlobalSign, resulting in a more cost-effective and efficient operation. All academic credentials are now securely signed and certified, providing tamper-evidence and authenticity, while Parchment can focus on its core competencies.
