SEATTLE August 30, 2010 DocuSign®, the market leader and global standard for
electronic signature, today announced the release of eDottedLineTM, a new DocuSign
partner software application add-in from @Ware, Inc. that seamlessly extends DocuSign's
functionality within Microsoft® Outlook. eDottedLine integrates the DocuSign electronic
signature service within Microsoft Outlook for a complete email document signing solution that complements any green initiative. This application is available now
and can be downloaded from @Ware at www.edottedline.com.
The release of @Ware's eDottedLine further extends the capabilities of the DocuSign
electronic signature platform within the Microsoft Office environment. This unique
application makes it faster and easier to get documents signed online, further streamlining
workflows and increasing efficiencies, said Matthew J. Schiltz, vice president
of strategic business development and alliances at DocuSign. DocuSign is partnering
with more and more innovators like @Ware to develop and offer innovative applications
that make it possible for organizations across all industries to
operate more efficiently within the Windows eco-system.
@Ware eDottedLine At-a-Glance
eDottedLine is a software add-in that extends DocuSign's electronic signature
technology to Microsoft Outlook. This powerful application increases productivity by bringing
the convenience of DocuSign's electronic signature process into Outlook. DocuSign's
collaborative model is integrated into this workflow, creating an intuitive and
precise end-to-end experience. With eDottedLine, the electronic signature experience
leverages key Outlook functionality and content:
- An easy-to-follow wizard guides the user through one of three possible DocuSign
processes: free form signing, browser-based tagging and full template support. All
predefined template settings are back-filled into the Outlook e-mail message to
create a complete record of each electronic signature transaction.
- Transaction receipts are created as Outlook Tasks with due dates set to the expiration
dates of the corresponding DocuSign envelopes.
- By synchronizing Outlook Tasks, the completion status of each envelope is updated.
For each completed transaction, a final PDF document copy is downloaded and archived
automatically as a task attachment. These task receipts provide a dashboard view of the user's electronic signature transactions and allow the user to benefit from
Outlook notifications.
- Outlook Contacts can be synchronized within the DocuSign Address Book with just
a single mouse-click. Specific Outlook Contact folders and/or Contact items can
be included or excluded giving the user complete control and flexibility. Outlook
recipients are mapped to DocuSign users and Outlook's rich address resolution is
extended to the DocuSign transaction.
@Ware's plug-and-play architecture allows electronic signature transactions to be
recorded within other third-party Web services. A broadcasting agent allows the
same documents to be sent to many recipients with just a single email message, which
includes distribution list support.
DocuSign has ascended rapidly as the global gold standard for electronic signature
technology, said James Harvey, president and chief executive officer of @Ware.
Outlook has been the gold standard for desktop communication
for the past 16 years. The synergistic benefits of bringing these two technologies
together are self-evident and compelling. We are excited to be partnering with DocuSign and bringing this
unique time-saving add-in to Microsoft Outlook users.
