In six years, LinkedIn has become the world's largest professional network with 50 million members in over 200 countries on 7 continents. How does electronic signature from DocuSign provide value to a company like LinkedIn? LinkedIn helps over 40% of the Fortune 100 companies sift through the content-rich profiles of passive job candidates to find the right people for their organization.

Last week, Coachella Valley Escrow's weekly Tech Tuesday post featured a video discussing DocuSign and electronic signature. Did you know that DocuSign is compatible with zipForms, WINForms, TrueForms, Realfast, DocCentral and Transaction Point?

I am on the plane coming back from discussing application development and electronic signature with an independent software vendor in Florida. Recently, DocuSign has been collaborating more often with companies that use DocuSign electronic signature services to extend their vertical applications. This particular partner specializes in form generation for credit unions and county governments.

During design sessions and analysis of the credit union and county government, we realized that many of the forms for county are self-service forms.

A major theme I've noticed lately is the concept of going paperless. Digital documents from creation to electronic signature and document storage have enabled people to reduce clutter. Those who scan, email and share documents online can access the information they need as long as they can log into their email or document management system.

What do you need to know to go paperless?
