The State of Hawai‘i Office of Enterprise Technology Services (ETS) will be offering eSign training via HITS on Wednesday, January 17, 2018, 10:00-11:30 a.m. The session will be led by Micah Hwang of ETS, and RCUH representatives will be on hand to respond to questions regarding applicability to RCUH Finance transactions.

Attendees (new and current users) will be trained on new features, improved user interfaces, and integration with commonly used applications (e.g., Outlook).

What is eSign? eSign is a service that provides users with the option to route documents processed through RCUH (e.g., contracts) via email for electronic signature. Projects that have adopted it have been very pleased with the efficiencies it creates.

To register for the session, please click here. For those unable to attend, a recording will be available at a later date; you may request the recording on the registration form. Registration will close on Friday, January 12. There is no handout for the session.

RCUH is pleased to announce that notary service is now available at our Manoa Innovation Center office (2800 Woodlawn Drive, Suite 200, Honolulu, HI 96822).

There are two (2) notaries who will notarize documents at no charge for RCUH PIs and employees:

• Gayle Hamasaki, Corporate Services Department, Email:  [email protected], Phone: 808-988-8314

Please contact Taui or Gayle to schedule an in-person appointment when notary services are required.  We ask that you provide them with adequate lead time to work you into their schedules.   As required by law, a current identification card or document issued by the United States or any of its states or a national government that contains the bearer’s photograph and signature (e.g., driver’s license, state ID, military ID, or passport) is required at the time of your visit.   Documents requiring notarization cannot be pre-signed.

We hope this service will be helpful to you.
