Arx CoSign
CoSign works seamlessly with all common document formats such as Microsoft® Word, Excel®, Outlook®, InfoPath®, Adobe® PDF, AutoCAD®, Bentley® MicroStation, TIFF, and other document types. CoSign is standards-based (based on Public Key Infrastructure – PKI), avoiding vendor lock-in and allowing the document to be verified by anyone, anywhere, anytime without the need for proprietary verification software or third party support.

CoSign is available in two product offerings, CoSign Central and CoSign Desktop. CoSign Central is based on easy-to-use software that communicates with a centralized and secure digital signature server. It is quick-to-deploy and ideal for mid to large sized organizations, offering seamless integration with content management and workflow systems. For smaller organizations (up to 10 signers), CoSign Desktop is offered as a standalone solution that does not require any hardware component.

Whether it is adding digital signatures with the click of a mouse or having the ability to sign any document and turn it into a PDF, CoSign provides users with a comprehensive and easy-to-use digital signing solution. CoSign`s design ensures that anyone can verify the signature and content integrity of a signed document anywhere at anytime with a simple click, and it allows multiple signatures to be placed on a document (one after another) while maintaining the documents integrity.

Checklist
Digitally sign with a simple click of a mouse - Equipped with an intuitive user interface, a simple right click is all that is required to sign and seal the document
Digitally sign any document type - CoSign works with all standard file formats: Microsoft® Word, Excel®, Outlook®, InfoPath®, Adobe® PDF, AutoCAD®, Bentley® MicroStation, TIFF, and other document types.
Turn any document into a digitally signed and sealed PDF - CoSign`s integrated virtual signing feature converts any electronic document into a signed PDF
Ensure external acceptance - CoSign embeds the digital signature directly into the document itself, enabling it to serve as a form of self contained e-record. After signature capture, anyone can verify the signature and content integrity anywhere at anytime - with a simple click.
Add your graphical signature and signing rationale - The signer`s graphical signature is placed on the document as well as the reason for signing (e.g., I approve, I agree, etc.).
Approve along with your colleagues - CoSign allows multiple signatures to be placed on a document (one after another) while ensuring document integrity. This is useful in scenarios that require a series of approvers and an audit trail.
Approve only designated areas of the document - Digital signatures can be applied to a specific area of the document. This is particularly effective for spreadsheets.
Workflow Integration - CoSign integrates perfectly with leading workflow and Content Management Systems such as Microsoft SharePoint®, enabling automated formal approval processes from within your organization`s existing workflow systems.
Simple Central Control - CoSign leverages existing user management systems, such as Microsoft Active Directory®, for control over signer authorizations (new employees are added and employees leaving the organization are removed from the authorized signer list with a simple click). CoSign ensures quick deployment and minimal ongoing IT management requirements, translating into enhanced security and a very low total cost of ownership.
