Starting this week to the end of September, the VIP Quick Start Program is hoping to give more than four thousand credientials to various company within the VIP network.

The VIP service will allow company to authenticate using at least two factors. This makes it possible for sites hosted with Verisign to utilize a wide variety of credientials such as mobile phones.

According to company spokesperson Fran Rosch, it is believed that the use of a two-factor authentication process will help improve how Verisign is able to provide a more secure process, and will most like speed up the authentication process also.

This latest agreement illustrates VeriSign’s pledge to assisting online businesses develop consumer assurance and expectation by enabling their consumers to rate their general fulfillment in doing business with them.

Customer response services are by no means a new idea. Businesses have long been held responsible by organizations like the membership-based Better Business Bureau, which acts as a commonly trusted liaison between consumers and businesses to decide disagreements to smooth the progress of communication and to offer information on ethical business practices. Furthermore, consumers previously have posted ratings and reviews on independent consumer-driven review sites such as Yelp or Angie’s List.

RatePoint implements a comparable idea by giving businesses its own channel to collect and respond to customer feedback. The company says it bridges the gap between consumers and businesses by offering a fair, balanced and simple method of connecting with customers, to resolve possible disputes and share reviews.
