DocuSign Spring ‘10 At-a-Glance
“Collaborate to Close” - Collaboration Services Package
These new capabilities offers DocuSign users support a broad array of business transactions that involve collaboration as well as signing.
Negotiation/Document Markup.
For the first time ever, signers have the option to negotiate critical elements of agreements on the fly faster, easier and more efficiently than paper. DocuSign has eliminated the problems associated with paper negotiations—no more difficult to read photocopies or undecipherable handwritten edits. Signers can ‘white out’ and initial small changes digitally. All changes are tracked, and the system automatically asks all parties to initial all changes. The document remains neat, easy to read and secure. Collaboration is an option that can be applied to the entire document, to specific sections of the document or locked from any changes at all.
Agent Role.
Many business transactions are managed by agents, attorneys, real estate agents and brokers. Documents are originated, but sent to agents to manage the review and collection of signatures. Now using DocuSign’s Agent Role, agents can receive agreements and electronically manage the transaction for their clients. Agents may review the contract for their customers, assign recipients and even add additional documents or signatures.
Collaborate in the Cloud.
Through a partnership with Box.net, the leading online collaboration tool, the DocuSign eSignature service will be available to all Box.net users to offer a complete end-to-end collaboration through close process. Box.net allows users to create and collaborate on content in the Cloud. Adding the power of DocuSign offers Box.net users a fast and simple way to close agreements in one seamless digital workflow.
Biometric Phone Authentication.
When signer identity is important, DocuSign offers advanced, state of the art biometric phone authentication. This new authentication option delivers strong two-factor authentication with the ease of answering the phone. DocuSign’s system places a call to the signer to validate identity and then records a biometric voice print. The biometric voice print can be used much like a fingerprint if there is ever a challenge.
Dynamic Data Collection.
DocuSign converts ordinary static forms into dynamic forms. Based on input provided by the signer, additional fields appear to ensure right data is collected for every situation. Any DocuSign SecureField™ form field can become dynamic including text, multi-line, checkbox, radio button or drop down. Dynamic forms can even be used to manage signature authority by ensuring only those with the proper title are approved to sign.
Enhanced Designed for Mobile

These services must be cost effective and flexible, with the ability to adapt to any environment, including quickly-evolving mobile platforms.
