However, when moving to a paperless environment and implementing electronic document management software systems, organizations have failed to find a way to ensure the contents of the document have not been altered or duplicated, thereby insuring data integrity and non-repudiation. Unlike paper documents where the signature indicates the document author, the migration to paperless does not clearly identify the owner of the electronic document.

Digital-signatures are becoming a critical component in the migration to paperless. Insurance companies in their underwriting and claims settlement departments, law firms, bank loan departments, and organizations’ purchasing divisions are but a few examples of business units that create, receive, and process large amounts of documents that need to be authenticated on a daily basis and can significantly benefit from CoSign. No more printing, handling, faxing, scanning, and archiving.

Not only does CoSign ensure data integrity and non-repudiation of transactions, but also is fast, cost-effective, simple to use, and has helped expedite business processes for many industries, including life sciences, healthcare, insurance, engineering, manufacturing and human resources.
