New Tools for Easier Digital Signatures

You may have noticed new app icons on your desktop:

Or perhaps a new option on your toolbar inside Word or Excel:

It’s called CoSign and it’s replacing the way we sign important papers, like documents, spreadsheets, contracts – you name it. Auditor and Controller is the first County department to start implementing the new system, which is more secure and accurate than Adobe signature. They plan to convert all of the forms they provide to departments (mileage reimbursement, travel claim, payroll, etc.) within the next year.

CoSign is different from Adobe signatures in several ways. For example, it recognizes you on any County computer you log into.

CoSign is available now for all departments to add digital signatures to documents they create.

The CoSign user guide and previously recorded live training conducted specifically for the County is already available in LMS. Just search for “CoSign.”

Find out more about CoSign and digital signatures at the Auditor and Controller’s InSite page.
