AIMS Partners with ValidSign to Bring Secure Digital Signatures to Grant Management
At AIMS, we’re always looking for ways to help our clients streamline their grant management processes and reduce administrative burden. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce our new partnership with ValidSign, a leading provider of secure, legally compliant digital signature solutions.
This integration brings native e-signature functionality directly into the AIMS platform -meaning you can now sign and manage grant-related documents faster, more securely, and with complete legal confidence.
Why Digital Signatures Matter in Grant Management
Grant management often involves a high volume of critical documentation, including funding agreements, contracts, letters of offer, memoranda of understanding, and compliance approvals — many of which require multiple levels of sign-off.
Traditionally, this has meant printing, scanning, emailing, or posting documents back and forth – a time-consuming and error-prone process.
With our new ValidSign integration, those days are over.
Now, you can:
- Sign documents digitally, right within the AIMS platform
- Eliminate paper-based workflows and speed up approvals
- Ensure full compliance with eIDAS, the EU regulation for electronic signatures
- Automatically store signed documents with audit trails and version tracking
- Improve collaboration with internal teams and external stakeholders
