DocuSign Announces First Complete Online Signing Service -- Enables any Windows Application to Send Documents for Signature Instantly

Seattle, WA - October 14, 2004 – DocuSign, Inc., the leading online signing service, today announced the first-ever complete web service for signing documents online. A revolutionary new way to accelerate business transactions, through DocuSign any business requiring a document with a legally-binding signature can easily complete the transaction electronically in seconds, eliminating the need to print copies and have them physically delivered for signature.

The DocuSign online signing service is unique because, unlike other signature services requiring recipients to have complex digital certificates, pen tablets or specialized software, it requires no integration and documents are supported from any Windows application. In addition, DocuSign is totally compliant with federal ESIGN legislation, which gives electronic documents and signatures the same legal standing as paper documents and ink signatures.

“DocuSign is simply the fastest way to get a signature,” said Court Lorenzini, DocuSign president and CEO. “Any document from any application can now be sent electronically for signature, and the recipient only needs email and a browser to sign. We’ve finally broken through the usability barrier that has prevented the adoption of e-signatures. This has profound implications for any business that needs documents signed. The DocuSign online signing service is the most efficient and cost-effective way to get business done,” he added.

DocuSign can be adopted quickly because the service itself is very easy to use and so seemingly familiar. Any business can log on to www.docusign.com and establish an instant or corporate account. The sender then ‘prints’ documents from any Windows application into a DocuSign Envelope, where contents are encrypted and stored on a secured server, and simply drags yellow ‘sign-here’ and ‘initial here’ Stick-eTabs™ onto the document to ensure a complete and correct signing every time. Recipients are then invited via email to authenticate and securely review documents, and then sign or initial where indicated. Each user receives a unique and secure DocuSign Electronic Signature and then clicks to place this signature and initials where required.

DocuSign emails all signers a printed or electronic copy of the completed documents, along with a Certificate of Signing, which outlines the evidence of the signature process. The service maintains 100% audit control over the entire process, complete with time-stamping for all steps and a transaction summary.
