CoSign Electronic Signature Capabilities Ensure Aspyra Compliance

ARX, Inc. (Algorithmic Research), a leading global provider of standards-based electronic signatures (digital signatures) and information assurance solutions, has implemented a CoSign® electronic-signature solution at Aspyra Inc., a clinical information and diagnostic systems solutions vendor to ensure regulatory compliance throughout the entire organization.

CoSign is currently being employed on an enterprise-wide level to sign off on Quality System records to ensure compliance with FDA and European Medical Device Regulations. These documents include SOPs, work instructions, protocols, specifications, functional requirements and test procedures.

"We wanted to eliminate the high costs and management associated with the proprietary, inflexible system of electronically signing database records," said Marty Sargent, Director of Regulatory Affairs & Quality Assurance at Aspyra.

"CoSign is the best solution we found that is both standards-based and flexible enough to create ‘containerless e-records’ that can stand on their own while ensuring FDA compliance."

CoSign is ARX's non-forgeable, simple-to-use, standards-based digital-signature solution that allows users to electronically sign documents, records, files, forms, and other electronic transactions. CoSign enables users to sign multiple document-format types with just a click of the mouse, resulting in seamless user adoption and fast deployments.
   
"CoSign significantly reduces the cost and complexity of Aspyra’s deployment, driving their TCO down to 10-15% of a traditional PKI deployment," said Rodd Schlerf, Life Science Practice Manager at ARX.
