DocuSign Version 10.1 At-a-Glance

Automatic Conversion of Adobe® PDF Form Fields. Now, when uploading Adobe PDF forms into the DocuSign system, the service automatically recognizes and converts all PDF form fields—including text boxes, radio button groups, drop downs and check boxes—along with their attributes, directly into secure DocuSign fields that can be assigned to specific recipients. These fields can be manipulated without any additional software, and the forms can be saved as templates in the DocuSign online forms library and shared with all account users.

DocuSign for Salesforce New Enhancements. Salesforce users now have access to all functionality DocuSign offers from inside Salesforce. Salesforce users can use DocuSign to send any document for signature as easily as sending email from Salesforce. Unique to DocuSign is the ability to drag and drop form fields associated with Salesforce data directly into documents, enabling these documents to collect data during the signing process and automatically update Salesforce in real time. This new capability eliminates rekeying of information and dramatically streamlines the sales process.

In addition, users can set up DocuSign for Salesforce accounts and manage users within the Salesforce application through the new DocuSign Admin Tab. Users can be up and running in a matter of minutes with no new user interface to learn. These new capabilities are expected to be released through the Salesforce Spring Update on March 6, 2010.

How does Acteva, the on-demand online event registration, ticketing and payment management services provider, employ electronic signature from DocuSign for Salesforce to accelerate its contract signing process?

Integrating DocuSign for Salesforce into its Salesforce CRM for a complete e-signature contract execution system has reduced the time to create contracts by one-third and has accelerated the contract signing process from 48 hours to 15 minutes. This saves significant time, as Acteva processes between 600 to 700 large custom event contracts annually.

Acteva had sought a solution to streamline its manually intensive contract management practices and provide management visibility into the sales process. The organization needed to consolidate activity through its customer relationship management system, Salesforce CRM, as they did not want to incur additional IT expenditures. Finally, Acteva was faced with at least 20 percent of its signers marking up the physical documents for changes, making the process more time-consuming for Acteva sales people.

Acteva resolved these issues with the DocuSign for Salesforce with Dynamic Documents powered by Drawloop solution. DocuSign, in collaboration with Drawloop, developed a complete solution for Acteva.

DocuSign for Salesforce allowed Acteva:

• To run its contract management workflow directly from the Salesforce CRM console—from document generation through signing to storage and retrieval.
• To generate a contract based on elements from the customer’s data in Salesforce CRM and type of contract needed.
• To utilize drop down options that auto-populate a contract and any necessary addendums.
• To assign the contract e-signing routing order throughout the contract lifecycle.
• To access all executed contracts, stored online by DocuSign, with a click.
• To generate contracts in fewer than 10 minutes. Contracts previously took Acteva sales staff 30 minutes to generate.
• To receive e-signed contracts within 15 minutes. Previously, signed and returned contracts took an average of two days.
• To have complete visibility into its contract process. Using DocuSign via the Salesforce CRM console, management knows the who, what and when for each contract, at any given time.

The DocuSign Electronic Signature Advantage

After reviewing several solutions, Acteva selected DocuSign based on the following key criteria:

Ease of Use—DocuSign is easy for Acteva to create contracts for client e-signature, and just as simple for the client to sign electronically. This intuitive service closely replicates the traditional signing experience, creating a positive client experience.

Compliance—With DocuSign, contracts are secure PDFs. Clients cannot revise ad hoc, ensuring 100 percent compliance for all signed contracts.

Real-time Visibility—DocuSign reveals the signing status of every agreement in real-time including, when it was opened, when it was signed, the time the transaction has taken, and which agreements remain to be signed—enabling Acteva to manage its channel and sales staff more effectively.

CRM Integration—By employing DocuSign for Salesforce, Acteva can now Close it in the Cloud^TM without leaving its CRM system, accelerating close times to hours. DocuSign automatically populates Salesforce data sets into its service which eliminates the need to re-key data. Using the tools in Salesforce, Acteva can create contract status reports.

Workflow Management—DocuSign automated many workflow processes for Acteva. For example, the entire contract signing process from generating the contract through the signing process is less than one hour and clients are less apt to delay the signing process as contracts are in PDF format.

By streamlining its manually intensive contract management practices and provide management visibility into the sales process using the electronic signature solution, DocuSign for Salesforce, Acteva saved significant time in its contract process.

Since 2002, Community Energy, L.P. has helped business, non-profits and residential customers benefit from reduced electrical costs. Community Energy works with large groups to combine their buying power to lower electrical rates from existing power providers.

Community Energy’s Business Challenge

Texas’ deregulated energy industry means that customers can select their electricity provider. Given that rates can fluctuate rapidly over short periods of time, residents and business owners can hunt for competitive prices but may lose their chances at the best deal.

Community Energy must sign contracts with clients that allow the company to represent them as well as agreements between them and the chosen energy suppliers. Often, clients include large residential communities in which members pool their electricity usage to obtain a better rate. These types of deals require signatures from all residents.

Scott Chilton, President and Managing Partner of Community Energy states:

We’ve had cases where the sales rep talked to the customer about a rate. By the time the paperwork was done and the contract sent, the rate was no longer any good and they had to go back and redo the contract again based on new market information.

When selecting a power provider, the contract process of:

1. Preparing paperwork
2. Delivering the paperwork through standard mail
3. Waiting for clients’ responses
4. Updating contracts to reflect changes in oil-and-gas rates as they changed throughout the process

Can sometimes lead to losing good deals for Community Energy’s customers and slower-than-desired close rates for the company. Additionally, Community Energy suffered from additional administrative pains to rework contracts.

The Solution? DocuSign for Salesforce

How did Community Energy reverse this business problem? With the leading electronic signature service, DocuSign for Salesforce, Community Energy has better control of the contract signing process and significantly accelerated the process of getting contracts signed and sales finalized.

According to Scott Chilton, President and Managing Partner for Community Energy:

DocuSign’s integration with Salesforce allows us to quickly generate documents and distribute them to the customer for execution and then get them moved on to the supplier to book the energy. It immediately goes from the customer’s office to the supplier so there is a very little gap in time for the market to move. DocuSign helps the customer lock in a rate at a low price and ensures that it gets preserved even if the market is moving quickly.

The Results for Community Energy

• Seamless workflow with the integration of DocuSign’s Corporate Edition Enterprise e-signature solution with Community Energy’s CRM system, Salesforce. Contracts travel quickly from salesperson to customer to power supplier.
• Contract creation with DocuSign codes and customer data already stored in Salesforce cut down on data-entry errors.
• Ease of use for Community Energy’s customers with clear delineation to what they need to sign on a specific document.
• On-demand access to contracts for customers bolsters document retention capabilities for Community Energy and lends legitimacy to the process for end-users.

DocuSign for Salesforce also helps Community Energy and its sales agents ensure that its customers lock in a rate at a low price and understand the legality of the agreement:

When you’re relying on a lot of different sales agents, sometimes they don’t effectively communicate to the customer that they have to sign this particular clause or it’s not going to be accepted. DocuSign does a great job of making sure the customer understands that they are committing to an agreement and that agreement is legal and binding, and then providing them with a mechanism for signing and viewing that contract.

Electronic signature enables Community Energy to significantly reduce contract turnaround time and only DocuSign for Salesforce gives Community Energy the ability to route contracts to numerous signers simultaneously to expedite complex group-rate contracts.

Since the mid-1990s, EDGAR® Online has provided analysts and investors US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulatory documents at an affordable price. As the first company in the US to distribute real-time SEC filings via the internet, EDGAR Online provides one of the most detailed US fundamental data sets in the world and is the leader in eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) analysis and compliance tools.

EDGAR Online’s Business Challenge

Contracting for these unique online services involved mailing paper contracts, a process which often took days to complete as well as required EDGAR Online’s sales representatives to spend an inordinate amount of time following up regarding the paperwork. According to Tressa Morgan, sales operations database and client support manager:

We would mail a contract out, and there was no way to know if the customer actually got it, opened it and signed it.

The Solution? DocuSign for Salesforce

With an easy to use customer interface and seamless integration capabilities with Salesforce, DocuSign was the natural choice for EDGAR Online’s e-signature solution.

DocuSign Provides:

• Same protections as a traditional handwritten signature
• Unique signature for each user, only accessible after correctly answering a series of authentication questions
• Encryption capabilities so only approved users can sign and read the documents
• Audit trail of any actions taken within the document process
• Real-time tracking of documents within the sales process

The Results for EDGAR Online

By reducing EDGAR Online’s time to close from one to two weeks to fewer than 48 hours, DocuSign has allowed EDGAR Online to:

• Reduce signing process of contracts from weeks to fewer than 48 hours
• Deploy electronic signature with no additional IT investment
• Integrate with Salesforce to streamline contract workflows and provide real-time tracking and visibility into the signing process
• Realize greater efficiencies for sales staff with custom DocuSign templates

EDGAR Online’s Tessa Morgan said:

I’ve sampled some of the other services, and looking at the contract, the signature is just not as official. We wanted something that, if you had to go to court over the contract, it would stand up as an official signature.

Electronic signature enables EDGAR Online to close contracts faster and only DocuSign for Salesforce offers granular administrative controls to customize contract templates with access and privilege rights to determine who can view them without leaving Salesforce to send out a contract.
