We're excited to share the latest partner application from @Ware, Inc.—eDottedLine, which seamlessly integrates DocuSign eSignature service within Microsoft Outlook for a complete email document signing solution. eDottedLine extends DocuSign's functionality within Microsoft Office applications to streamline business processes and increase efficiencies. eDottedLine from @Ware, Inc., RAMP Group's eProcess for SharePoint succeeds by delivering an end-to-end document signing and management system. James Harvey, president and chief executive officer of @Ware, shares his thoughts on integrating DocuSign's eSignature service within Microsoft Outlook:

DocuSign has ascended rapidly as the gold standard for online e-signature technology while Outlook has been the gold standard for desktop communication for the past 16 years. The synergistic benefits of bringing these two technologies together are self-evident and compelling.

@Ware eDottedLine With DocuSign At-a-Glance

eDottedLine is an add-in that extends DocuSign's eSignature technology to Microsoft Outlook. This powerful application increases productivity by marrying the convenience of Outlook into the DocuSign e-signature process. Outlook's collaborative model is integrated into this workflow, creating an intuitive and precise end-to-end experience. With eDottedLine, e-signatures are transacted as email messages:

• A wizard guides the user through one of three possible DocuSign processes: free form signing, browser-based tagging and full template support. All predefined template settings are back-filled into the Outlook e-mail message to create a complete record of each e-signature transaction.
• Transaction receipts are created as Outlook Tasks with due dates set to the expiration dates of the corresponding DocuSign envelopes.
• By synchronizing these tasks, the completion status of each envelope is updated. For each completed transaction, a final PDF document copy is downloaded and archived automatically. These task receipts provide a dashboard view of the user's e-signature transactions and allow the user to benefit from Outlook notifications.
• Outlook Contacts can be synchronized with the DocuSign Address Book with just a single mouse-click. Specific Outlook Contact folders and/or Contact items can be included or excluded giving the user complete control and flexibility. Outlook recipients are mapped to DocuSign users and Outlook's rich address resolution is extended to the DocuSign transaction.

@Ware eDottedLine generates a transaction receipt as an Outlook Task so you can conveniently manage your document.

@Ware's plug-and-play architecture allows e-signature transactions to be recorded within other third-party Web services. A broadcasting agent allows the same documents to be sent to many recipients with just a single e-mail message, which includes distribution list support. Tom Gonser, founder and vice president of product strategy at DocuSign, provides his view on how eDottedLine will affect the Microsoft Office environment:

The release of @Ware's eDottedLine further extends the capabilities of DocuSign eSignature service within the Microsoft Office environment. This unique application makes it faster and easier than ever to get documents signed online, and to share data within other core Microsoft Office applications. DocuSign is pleased to partner with innovators like @Ware to make it possible for organizations across all industries to operate more efficiently within the Windows eco-system.
