Digital Signatures and Digital Seals: A Guide for AEC

Friday, January 13th, 2012

Hey folks! I’m back with some exciting news about a project called Digital Seals and Signatures that ARX, provider of the leading CoSign® digital signature solution, is participating in. It’s headed by Fiatech, an organization that works to advance the implementation of technology and innovative practices in the AEC industry. Engineers, listen up!

When completed, the Digital Seals and Signatures project will provide the world with a best practices guide for implementing digital seals and digital signatures in AEC processes. Why is this fantastic? Because AEC professionals face a number disadvantages due to the reliance on paper for sealing and signing final documents. Among these disadvantages are extensive procedural bottlenecks and skyrocketing organizational costs. Fortunately, digital signature technology effectively addresses this problem. Yet, as with most major transformations (however positive), AEC professionals still hesitate to make the shift to electronic approval processes.

Enter the Digital Seals and Signatures guide, which will provide an invaluable resource to AEC professionals. It’ll explain how digital signatures and seals work, how they can be applied in the unique environments of architecture, engineering and construction, and much more. Excited? Me too.
