DocuSign at Net Caucus

This week at DocuSign we have many things going on. On Tuesday, January 13, the Congressional Internet Caucus Advisory Committee (ICAC) hosted the 12th Annual Kickoff Technology Policy Exhibition — the evening before the State of the Net Conference. Of course, I flew to Washington D.C. to demo DocuSign at the 12th Annual Technology Policy Exhibition at Net Caucus.

Net Caucus, the largest information technology policy conference in the US, attracted over 550 attendees in 2008. This year, the conference frames the policy debates that will challenge the Obama administration and the new Congress. Tech exhibition attendees will view over 30 hands-on demonstrations from major companies and innovators, allowing them to test-drive the latest technology and learn more about how the Internet is changing our lives. This event serves as a great opportunity for policymakers, industry executives and public interest advocates to come together and to network with their peers. The goal of this annual tech exhibition is to bring cutting-edge technology demonstrations to Capitol Hill that illustrate the power and flexibility of the Internet as medium for communications, commerce, and democracy.

Demoing DocuSign to senators and other members of Congress alongside other demonstrators including Google, Verizon, Microsoft, Comcast, Salesforce and many others was an amazing opportunity to share what we’ve done to help our customers streamline their online contract execution workflow. Last fall, we teamed up with one of the other demonstrators at Net Caucus, Salesforce, to release DocuSign Connect for Salesforce at the Dreamforce ‘08 Conference. DocuSign Connect is a suite of on-demand services that integrates our enterprise-class electronic signature and online contract execution product and the Salesforce platform. This tool can help organizations shorten their sales cycles. One of our DocuSign Connect customers, Comcast, also presented at Net Caucus.

Ted Girdner, Senior Director of Sales Operations at Comcast Business Services, shared why they chose DocuSign Connect:

We selected DocuSign because of their proven success in the e-Signature and contract execution market, superior enterprise service, and flexible integration with Salesforce.com. Deep integration between these two business-critical platforms is exactly what Comcast needed to significantly improve its contract management processes.

I love hearing stories of happy customers and conferences provide a great opportunity to see what cool things they’re doing. While I enjoyed Washington D.C., I’m looking forward to the sales meeting back in Seattle later this week.
