In daily operations, many businesses still rely on traditional signing processes such as printing documents, signing by hand, scanning, and sending them via email. These methods are not only time-consuming and costly, but also introduce significant security and legal risks. DocuSign was created to comprehensively address these challenges by enabling businesses to fully digitize their signing processes in a fast, secure, and legally compliant way.
So, what is DocuSign, and why are more and more businesses choosing DocuSign as part of their digital transformation strategy?
What is DocuSign?
DocuSign is the world’s leading electronic signature (eSignature) and digital agreement management platform, allowing businesses to create, send, sign, and store documents entirely in a digital environment. Users can sign documents anytime, anywhere, on any device—without the need for printing or face-to-face meetings.
Beyond eSignatures, DocuSign supports the full lifecycle of agreements, from document preparation and approval to signing, storage, and retrieval. This helps businesses optimize both speed and transparency across all types of transactions.
Why do businesses need DocuSign?
In today’s fast-paced business environment, delays in contract signing can cause companies to miss opportunities, extend sales cycles, or disrupt partnerships. Traditional wet-signature processes also make it difficult to track who has signed, who hasn’t, and where documents are located at any given time.
DocuSign addresses these issues by digitizing the entire signing workflow, enabling real-time tracking of document status and automatic reminders for all involved parties. As a result, businesses can accelerate decision-making while reducing risks throughout the contract process.
How does DocuSign work?
DocuSign operates as a cloud-based eSignature platform that digitizes the entire signing process—from document preparation to post-signature storage. Users can upload documents, define signature fields, send them to recipients, and monitor signing status in real time.
Every action taken during the signing process is fully recorded, creating a clear audit trail that ensures transparency and legal validity. Because everything is managed in the cloud, businesses can easily store, manage, and retrieve signed documents without relying on traditional paper archives.
