Digital Signature Solution by ARX Supports Nintex Workflow

San Francisco, California, July 7, 2010

ARX, Inc., the leading provider of digital signature solutions for Enterprise Content Management (ECM) and workflow automation, announced it has joined forces with Nintex. To allow end users to fully automate business processes and approvals within SharePoint workflows, ARX will offer a CoSign® digital signature Action integrated with Nintex Workflow 2007. The combined capabilities will enable users to approve, agree, accept, and easily audit legally-enforceable transactions and records as they participate in workflow-driven activities.

“The combination of Nintex Workflow and ARX CoSign is a game-changing leap forward for the Life Sciences industry,” said David Gwyn, VP Research & Development and Collaboration at HighPoint Solutions. “By combining graphical workflow with digital signatures, our clients are able to not only reap tremendous benefits internally, but also leverage these services outside the organization in ways that were previously thought impossible.”

As an increasing number of organizations are deploying document management and collaboration through Microsoft SharePoint intranets and portals, they are seeking integrated digital signature capabilities that will enable them to fully automate approval processes with legally-enforceable digital signatures. With CoSign, enterprises of all sizes automate their signature-dependent processes while maintaining compliance with regulations, audit requirements, and security policies.

Digital signatures enable external parties such as investigators, sponsors, and Clinical Research Organizations to become part of an electronic and automated review and approval workflow process without requiring ongoing IT support. This provides the potential to bring all parties together in the drug development process by reducing or eliminating manual workflows and paper signatures, and delivers a measurable driver for truly reducing time-to-market.

“Today Nintex welcomes ARX as a technology partner. Our partnership helps organizations realize the true benefits of fully electronic workflows with signature authorization through the CoSign drag-and-drop action within Nintex Workflow,” said Wayne Woolston, Nintex managing director. 

CoSign’s integration with Microsoft technologies such as SharePoint, Office and InfoPath®, along with its support for Active Directory and Windows Kerberos as well as Nintex Workflow, ensures customers a rapid deployment, low administrative overhead, and quick ROI under SharePoint-based Enterprise, B2B and B2C applications. 

“ARX is committed to delivering turn-key digital signature solutions that fit with best-in-class workflow and ECM products,” said John Marchioni, Vice President Business Development, ARX. “Our Nintex partnership adds support for a superior workflow solution to our digital signature offering.”
