Collaborate on Agreements Faster with DocuSign and Microsoft Teams
In today’s connected world the averaged business uses 175 various tools across their organizations. And, users can spend up to a whopping 32 days a year just switching between those apps - a huge hit to productivity, especially for common tasks like the routing of documents, forms and contracts for approval and signature.
In this age of “app overload” users want work to be simple and seamless so they can streamline processes and keep business moving forward. What would happen if the 115 million+ daily active users relying on Microsoft Teams to collaborate and stay productive could also keep their policies, contracts and other agreements moving by having the ability to sign them directly from within Teams? We no longer need to wonder.
"As the need for agility and meeting customers where they do business is more important than ever, we are excited to partner with Microsoft to streamline business processes for our joint customers," said Jerome Levadoux, SVP of Sign at DocuSign.
"Our new eSignature integration enables a seamless experience for the millions of people using Microsoft Teams to send and sign important documents, and keeps business moving forward."
“The DocuSign integration with Microsoft Teams provides customers with more ways to stay connected and collaborate virtually,” said Daniel Canning, director, Microsoft Teams Platform. “With DocuSign eSignature for Microsoft Teams, our customers get real-time notifications on contracts and forms right from where they are already collaborating, enabling them to boost productivity and accelerate the completion of agreements.”
Move faster
Quickly send agreements like onboarding documents, sales contracts, and more for signature from within Teams. You will also get notifications when you need to sign or when someone completes an agreement, and reminder notifications are automatically sent to encourage others to sign and complete documents. And it works on virtually any device so you can move fast from wherever you are.

The Microsoft Approvals app in Teams allows users to create, manage and share approvals directly from Teams. With this integration you can also create an electronic signature approval in Teams within the Approvals app, enabling you to streamline approval requests while keeping up to date on the status of the approval by receiving notifications.
