Breakthrough projects are the ones that are based on fundamentally new businesses. These are allocated 10% of the total resources. These fostered innovation within the company. 2.

...| | | | 1. 안전한 전자정부를 위한 법제도 E-signatures Legislation passed in the U.S., Canada, U.K., E.U., Australia, New Zealand, and most nations around the world establishes the legality of e-signatures. Documents signed online with legally compliant e-signature software are as valid and binding as traditional pen-and-paper documents. E-signatures have been upheld in numerous court cases and, in many situations, prove to be more defensible than pen signatures. This legal strength is due to the robust authentication data captured by online signature software, which provides digital evidence of who signed a document, as well as when, where, and how they did it. Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (U.S) The E-SIGN Act, passed by Congress in June, 2000, is the premier federal law ensuring the legality of documents executed with e-signatures in the United States. The E-SIGN Act states that contracts with electronic signatures may not be denied legal effect or ruled unenforceable because they were created digitally. Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (U.S.) The National Conference of Commissioners of Uniform State Laws developed the UETA in order to bring consistency to potentially varying state laws regarding e-signatures and online document execution. Now adopted by 47 states thus far, the UETA works in unison with the federal E-SIGN Act to protect the legal enforceability of electronic contracts. Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents...
