The largest provider of digital signatures is joined by leading UK-based tailored SharePoint product developer and GxP compliance services supplier to the life sciences sector.

ARX (Algorithmic Research), the largest supplier of FDA-compliant digital signature solutions in the FDA/EMA regulated markets, is proud to announce its partnership with GxPi, a leader in compliant SharePoint®-based content management and quality and compliance consulting services within the life sciences industry. 

GxPi’s x-docs® is a validated electronic document management system (EDMS) built on Microsoft® SharePoint. It has been designed for ease-of-use, value-for-money, and inherent compliance with strict industry regulations and best practice. The EDMS enables life sciences organizations of any size to easily manage and store controlled documents, and also offers an enhanced audit capability, integrated and compliant digital signature functionality through CoSign® digital signatures, approval workflows with user authentication, and more.

In addition to their own product, GxPi also provides validation services for CoSign digital signature installations, including their integration with other vendor’s software and Microsoft SharePoint in local Server or Pharma Cloud environments.  GxPi’s experience and pragmatic approach allows life sciences organizations to quickly and efficiently validate their CoSign and other EDMS technologies for compliance with 21 CFR Part 11, Annex 11 and other GxP regulatory requirements.

“Our goal is to provide life sciences organizations with business automation tools that meet their requirements while facilitating compliance, and that do so at a lower cost and with simpler implementation and management,” said Keith Williams, CEO, GxPi.“Incorporating CoSign digital signatures enables workflows to remain paper-free throughout while maintaining security and compliance in ‘on-premise’ or hosted environments.”

Use of CoSign FDA-compliant digital signatures in life sciences includes 8 of the top 10 largest Pharmas, including the largest biopharmaceutical companies in the UK, France, Germany, Switzerland, and Denmark. 

“By teaming up with GxPi, our European customers are able to validate CoSign without developing their own custom scripts,”said Rodd Schlerf, FDA Markets Manager, ARX.  “And, since many of our customers are looking for CoSign to be integrated with SharePoint, GxPi has the skills and experience to deliver a total solution for electronic document management.”
