Trialling Mobile Digital Pen

If this works it will solve the problem of digitising the signatures so that the centralised system can record them as they occur, whilst satisfying the audit requirements of the EU and the Welsh Office.
There are a number of digital pens on the market that digitise handwritten text. The product being trialled here is the Destiny.Fastdox pen and software which creates a version of the audit forms that the pen, when the signature is written, records this digitally and sends it, via blutooth and mobile phone, to the document database.
In this way, there is a written signature that meets the EU audit requirements, and there is a central verifiable digitised version that completes the objective of fully digitising the administrative and management document system.
The outcomes of the trial will be reported here in due course.
