EchoSign, a leading Web-based provider of electronic signatures and
signature automation, today announced the integration of its EchoSign
software with the NetSuite cloud computing platform. EchoSign automates
the process of applying electronic signatures and tracking the signature
process for business documents. Built using NetSuite’s SuiteCloud
development platform, EchoSign for NetSuite lets NetSuite customers
accelerate the sales process with e-signatures and fax signatures, and
increase sales performance by tracking deals in real-time across sales,
legal and finance.
NetSuite’s SuiteCloud is a comprehensive offering of on-demand
products, development tools and services designed to help customers and
commercial software developers take advantage of the significant
economic benefits of cloud computing. The complete SuiteCloud offering
includes NetSuite’s multi-tenant, always-on SaaS infrastructure and the
NetSuite business suite of applications: Accounting/ERP, CRM and
Ecommerce.
"We’re excited to have a strong partnership with NetSuite,"
said Jason Lemkin, CEO, EchoSign. "EchoSign substantially advances the
sales cycle by enabling sales teams to track when a contract is sent
out, viewed, or signed by a customer. We’re confident that all NetSuite
customers will find benefit in this innovative addition to NetSuite."
The EchoSign electronic signature solution automates the
signature process from the request for signature to the distribution and
filing of the executed agreement or form. With EchoSign, the sales
person emails the sales document to a recipient, who can sign on-screen
or on hard copy, then return electronically or by fax. EchoSign then
routes the document via a pre-specified workflow back to the user, and
to any other relevant people – in financial or HR departments, for
example – while also maintaining a private copy for later reference.
Working with NetSuite
EchoSign for NetSuite lets NetSuite customers send contracts directly
from NetSuite. They can also view contract history and save
electronically signed contracts – all within the NetSuite user
interface. By simplifying, speeding and tracking the contract approval
process, EchoSign for NetSuite helps NetSuite customers improve sales
performance, which can increase sales volume and revenues.
"EchoSign is a great example of a partner leveraging the power
of NetSuite," said Guido Haarmans, Vice President of Developer Programs
at NetSuite. "EchoSign helps customers to accelerate the sales process
and also further automates other functions across the business, such as
services, vendor management and partner management. Any NetSuite
customer regularly sending out contracts can benefit tremendously from
the integration with NetSuite."
The announcement was made today at SuiteCloud 2010, NetSuite’s
annual partner and developer conference being held in San Francisco.
