A CoSign Signature on every dotted line.

CoSign® is a digital signature solution that takes a better approach. By embedding the standard signature technology directly into mainstream business applications, CoSign makes it easy to digitally sign transactions, documents, and records. CoSign embeds a signature record that travels with the document for every signature it captures. This Portable Signature Format allows anyone to seamlessly verify and retain proof of identity, intent and document integrity without costly, complicated, or proprietary software. As a result, CoSign keeps your business running smoothly by fully automating and quickly scaling processes at a low cost and with proper controls.

Digital behaviors are inherent in a new generation of distributed teams, business partners, and customers who now expect effortless online transactions and simple sharing. These users like digital signatures because they are shared as easily across an ocean as across a desk. The digital signature is applied and verified in one quick step. It limits lost time. It allows for easier collaboration, through features such as signature rules. Increasingly, digital signatures reside in the Internet, are supported by mainstream applications, and are accessed from anywhere for decades to come. By contrast, ink signatures can get smudged, burnt, flooded, forged, and lost during shipping and storage.

Every business or organization strives for an efficient business with growing revenue. But signing contracts and project approvals is typically an awkward and time-consuming process that slows the business. Contracts and forms are printed, shipped, signed, shipped back, then stored. With CoSign, what used to take days now takes minutes.
