DocuSign: A Neat Tool for eSignatures

I have just signed a book contract, but what I found really neat was that the publisher asked for my signature using the DocuSign service. That meant I could review the contract in a Web browser, download it to read offline if I wanted, and when ready to sign, do so inside the browser window with a signature I set up in the DocuSign service.

It's pretty cool. The days of retaining a fax machine just for signing contracts are over.

Yes, electronic signatures on electronic contracts is the current wave of productivity boosts for businesses, allowing deals to close faster and more accurately than paper itself allowed.

Please note that other companies like Yozons, alamode SureDocs, Silanis, EchoSign, Sertifi and others offer alternative technologies that accomplish the these tasks as well.
