Press Release Body: ARX (Algorithmic Research), a leading provider of digital
signature solutions (standard electronic signatures), has implemented a CoSign®
digital-signature solution at Innovative Staffing, Inc., a Salt Lake City-based
Professional Employer Organization (PEO).

As a PEO, Innovative Staffing manages the new hire documentation (including I-9,
state and federal tax forms) and payroll administration of nearly 2,500 employees.
In order to expedite the processing of hundreds of these HR documents monthly,
Innovative Staffing created a web application that enables the new hires that they
co-employee to electronically complete the necessary forms. Seeking to eliminate
paper documentation from the workflow for signing purposes, Innovative Staffing
determined that a digital signature solution would allow the employees to
electronically sign the PDF documents created by their web form application. As the
electronic records that were created needed to be portable between organizations and
sustainable over time, Innovative Staffing only considered standards-based digital
signature solutions using Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) technology.

Innovative Staffing selected the CoSign digital signature system because in addition
to being standards-based PKI technology, the technology is stored via a centralized
server that automatically generates, securely stores, and manages individual user’s
signing keys and certificates. Through CoSign\'s signature API (SAPI), Innovative
staffing was able to integrate the CoSign digital signature solution quickly,
providing employees with an extremely simple way to fill web forms and create
digitally signed and sealed PDFs. CoSign\'s ability to keep Innovative Staffing\'s
process entirely electronic has not only expedited the new hire process and saved
the company (and clients) thousand of dollars and time, it also provides Innovative
Staffing with a competitive advantage in their marketplace.

\"The outsourced HR marketplace is characterized by hundred of remote clients
organizations interacting with a single PEO service provider,\" said Rodd Schlerf,
Market Manager, ARX, Inc. \"CoSign’s architecture is ideal for a company like
Innovative Staffing, in order to provide a greater service for their client base in
this environment.\"

\"CoSign\'s API allowed us to integrate our web application intuitively, without
having to worry about the intricacies of the underlying digital signature technology
or the details of the remote customer PCs,\" said Scott Lovell, Lead Programmer at
Innovative Staffing, Inc. \"The system does not require any client side software in
order to apply the digital signatures to the forms.\"
