Lawson Software Announces Partnership with ARX

Logistics Insight Asia - Industry News, 27/8/2008

New Partnership with ARX (Algorithmic Research) provides digital signature capabilities to Lawson Smart Office.

Lawson Software now provides access to ARX's CoSign digital signature solution, allowing customers to digitally sign documents when working within their Lawson M3 Enterprise Management System.

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.
