Lawson will offer CoSign, an innovative digital signature (standard electronic signature) solution that allows organizations to sign and protect electronic transactions, help expedite business processes, reduce costs, increase security and help comply with various regulations. Lawson customers that opt for CoSign will access this functionality through Lawson Smart Office, Lawson’s intuitive, personalized user interface that allows users to directly access Lawson and Microsoft applications and update data pervasively and instantly across the applications.
By offering this latest advancement within the Lawson ERP system, customers can benefit from added security, improved data integrity and user accountability. When working with certain data or activities, a user can be required to digitally sign any changes made to the data. A digitally signed document will then be generated, automatically linking the user’s identity with the action taken. Lawson Document Archive Foundation then manages the signed records, providing a reference point for audit purposes.
“With the addition of the CoSign digital signature capability to the Lawson M3 system, we’re able to help our customers improve their security and control capabilities, which is required for passing corporate governance audits and complying with various industry regulations,” said John Gledhill, global director of product management for Lawson. “Plus, our companies have a shared commitment to offer technology solutions that are designed to be easier to own, implement and use, which was an important factor in our decision to go with ARX CoSign.”
“Our partnership with Lawson highlights the benefits standard digital signatures provide within a leading ERP solution like the Lawson M3 system,” said John Marchioni, vice president of business development, Americas, ARX. “Digital signatures can help create portable audit trails, easing integration of multiple resources and functions. This helps our customers manage cost while adding proper controls that they need for a variety of compliance requirements.”
