Digital Signature solution signs on for SharePoint

September 18, 2009:ARX has announced the release of the second generation of its CoSign for SharePoint plug-in to provide compliant signature-based approvals within workflows (which SharePoint calls "Collect Signatures" workflow).

CoSign Central provides digital certificates (digital IDs) for end-users through a centralised network-attached appliance, including centralized control over authorized signers (through Microsoft Active Directory or other directory services).

When implemented with SharePoint,CoSign Central features appear as a natural part of the familiar SharePoint and Microsoft Office interface.

CoSign for SharePoint enables users to digitally sign PDF documents hosted on SharePoint Document Libraries and SharePoint List items centrally located on the SharePoint server via the SharePoint web-based user interface, without requiring the user to check the documents out to a local PC.
