13 ERT: Business Needs Signatures are an integral part of drug trials. Example: A trial s functional specification may be hundreds of pages long. With wet signatures on paper, each page needs to be signed by 4 to 20 people depending on the trial. Each page must be re-signed whenever it s changed. Digital transformation: A person s digital signature guarantees the integrity of the document; individual pages do not have to be signed.

19 ERT: Results Hard benefits of digital signatures: * Hundreds of dollars saved per week by eliminating courier charges * Faster approvals of documents Soft benefits: improved convenience and efficiency not cost has been the biggest driver for digital signature adoption Example: Instead of having to sign hundreds of individual pages, a user can sign an entire document in one step. We re also making much better use of people s time, rather than someone having to print and ship documents, then someone else having to spend the time signing them and organising their return.

20 ERT: Results ERT is saving time and money by replacing manual signatures with digital ERT s on-premises CoSign Central appliance provides them with complete control of their system, unlike cloud solutions CoSign digital signatures meet all of ERT s regulatory requirements By using the connector from Zaizi, CoSign digital signatures are integrated with the ERT Alfresco ECM system
