Electronic Signatures Drive Engineering Design Process at New Flyer.PLEASANT HILL, Calif. -- Algorithmic Research (ARX), a worldwide provider of electronic signatures and data security solutions, has implemented a CoSign cosign v. to sign a promissory note or other obligation in order to share liability for the obligation. (R) Standard Electronic Signature system at New Flyer Industries New Flyer Industries (TSX: NFI.UN) is a leading bus manufacturer in North America, headquartered in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. It also has factories in Crookston and St. Cloud, Minnesota,USA. , a North American heavy-duty transit manufacturer. "New Flyer was looking to implement an end-to-end digital sign-off process to keep up with its high pressure engineering and manufacturing environment," says Dave Fraser, CAD Systems Manager, New Flyer. "CoSign's electronic signatures allows our engineers to electronically add their signature and professional seal to CAD, Microsoft Word, Excel, and Adobe PDF (Portable Document Format) The de facto standard for document publishing from Adobe. On the Web, there are countless brochures, data sheets, white papers and technical manuals in the PDF format. documents, significantly enhancing our processes+ADs- reducing paper, scanner and labor costs." Prior to implementing CoSign, engineers were required to print CAD drawings for signing. A professional seal would also be added to a document which could comprise as many as 70 pages. The drawing would be re-scanned and uploaded to a document management system, with a hard copy filed into a paper archive. The ECO E·co , Umberto Born 1932. Italian writer best known for his novels, including The Name of the Rose (1981). He has also written extensively on semiotics and British and American popular culture. (Engineering Change Order) approval process was equally time consuming, based on manual routing of documents among several engineers. "CoSign allows us to shift our energy from manual processes to one that allows us to increase our efficiency and productivity," says Fraser. "The multiple application and graphical signature support as well as standards-based PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) A framework for creating a secure method for exchanging information based on public key cryptography. The foundation of a PKI is the certificate authority (CA), which issues digital certificates that authenticate the identity of electronic signatures, allowed CoSign to drop seamlessly into their network and provide a fast ROI (Return On Investment) The monetary benefits derived from having spent money on developing or revising a system. In the IT world, there are more ways to compute ROI than Carter has liver pills (and for those of you who never heard of that expression, it means a lot). ," Says Sam Aviram, ARX Sales Manager, Canada.
