Why DocuSign
DocuSign is the Leading E-Sign Provider
With over 10 million signature events, DocuSign is the leading solution for electronic signature and contract execution. Our solution is much more advanced and secure than any other solution on the market.
In our own review of the available solutions, many simply do not have all the elements needed to fully manage the entire process of getting a contract completed. Only DocuSign has developed a complete end-end enterprise class solution that can be customized to meet the needs of any business process.
Enterprise Class Capabilities
Only DocuSign addresses the full scope of contract execution for your business.
- Ease of use for signers
Signers follow a familiar signing process that requires only a browser to sign – adopting their own unique signature, then clicking on yellow ‘sign-here’ tabs to sign in the locations they need to complete their contract, just like paper, but more secure, and at the speed of light
- Exact signature and initial placement into any document
Signatures, initials, and other data you collect appear right in the document in the proper locations
- Integrated signer authentication
Utilizing a true multi-layer authentication, senders are able to request several forms of authentication on a per-recipient level with authentication being written into the audit log.
- Continuous control and visibility
See real-time status of your contracts, and correct them even after they have been sent to keep the transaction moving.
- Support for form completion and signing
Signers can not only sign on the dotted line, but fill in important information using powerful form technology that ensures the right recipients fill in the right data. Even better, the data can be returned along with the signed documents to eliminate re-keying.
- Signing workflow management
DocuSign can follow your sign-off process automatically routing to recipients in sequential order, in parallel, or a combination. Workflow can be defined in templates and applied to specific documents or transactions.
- Capabilities for all file formats
DocuSign supports all document types, not just MS Office or PDF. You can literally send anything you can print for signature. No need ‘remake’ your contracts into some new format, just use them as they are!
- SaaS model
DocuSign is offered as a service which means you do not have to invest in expensive infrastructure. DocuSign becomes a trusted 3rd party so your contracts are even more legally enforceable than installed software.
- Legal enforceability
E-signatures obtained through DocuSign's service are 100% compliant with the legal requirements established by ESIGN and UETA. We also continue to lead the industry in addressing state and international laws that may apply to your contracts.
