QUOTES:

• “DocuSign is helping us protect our officers and our citizens,” says Albert Tong, information systems analyst at Butte County. “We applaud the company’s new signing experience, especially the streamlined navigation and DocuSign’s ease of use on mobile devices. Our officers often need search warrants at inopportune times, like the middle of the night, and then need to get a judge to sign. Paper signing can take hours or days. With DocuSign, it takes minutes. The faster we can get the search warrant signed, the faster we can put bad guys behind bars. DocuSign is allowing us to do just that.”
• “DocuSign has a long history of customer-centric innovation beginning in 2003 with eSignature development by our founder Tom Gonser,” says Matt Malden, chief product officer at DocuSign.  “Our concept is simple – eliminate paper from business and make it so that anyone can securely DocuSign anything, anytime, anywhere, on any device. The DocuSign Winter ’15 Release showcases our user-centric design and relentless commitment to ensuring the best possible customer experience – every time someone DocuSigns.”
• “DocuSign is a complement to our existing suite of printing and shipping services,” says Randy Scarborough, vice president of Retail Marketing for FedEx. “DocuSign customers may now send completed documents to any of our more than 1,800 FedEx Office locations and have immediate access to quick-turn copying and digital printing.  This new tool is another example of the many digital and mobile printing services available through FedEx Office.”

New elements within the DocuSign signing experience include:

• Responsive Emails – Notification emails are automatically formatted for readability on smaller screen mobile devices and have improved placement of the primary message so that even first time users know exactly what they need to do to complete transactions.
• Welcome Experience – Now personalized messages are shown in the welcome screen for signers to reference as they are reviewing documents, helping set context and ensuring they complete forms correctly.
• Improved Controls – Changes made to core signing elements include optimized screen space to focus on the document being signed.  Even details such as the location of the “Finish” button was moved to the lower right of the screen to improve usability. Intuitive navigation gets signers into their documents and through the signing experience faster than ever.
• Integration with FedEx Office—Customers may now print DocuSigned documents directly from DocuSign to any FedEx Office location as part of DocuSign working with FedEx Office.
