SAN FRANCISCO –– December 3, 2013 – Leading procurement organizations have

“DocuSign is the standard for eSignature in the procurement business,” said Jack Miles,

managing partner at MainSpring Advisors, former Secretary of the State of Florida

Department of Management Services, and former head of procurement for companies

including AIG, CA, CIBC, and Travelers. “DocuSign leads the industry with its world-

class transaction management platform that helps global supply chain organizations

streamline purchasing, slash costs, and minimize risk.”

“The best business leaders seek to learn from each other on how to improve their

customer experience, quality, and bottom line,” said Barry Wiegler, advisor to B2B

industry organizations and founder and former sixteen year CEO, Sourcing Interests

Group. “There is no hotter interest area right now in procurement than keeping

business digital and no hotter technology than DocuSign to make it happen. With its

integration with procurement industry leader Ariba, DocuSign helps streamline and

automate purchasing processes to accelerate the speed of business.”

“DocuSign has made it easier to do business with HP,” said John Hinshaw, executive

vice president of technology and operations at HP. “Documents that used to take five to

six weeks now can take just hours. It is probably the fastest ROI of any software we’ve

rolled out.”

"DocuSigning has become the standard for how business gets done across

organizations of every size and industry in today's digital economy," said Keith Krach,

chairman and CEO, DocuSign. "DocuSign creates synergy across business

departments – including sales, service, finance, HR, legal, and procurement –

by automating and streamlining transactions to accelerate speed to results,

dramatically reduce costs, and delight customers, partners, and suppliers."

Procurement organizations have standardized on DocuSign to:

enterprises slashing procurement processing costs by up to $50 per document and

reducing contract turnaround by as much as 65 days with DocuSign,” said Bob Foote,

co-founder and managing partner at IntelliCap, a leading value engineering firm.

“Similarly, one of the top three U.S. insurance carriers – who reports sending out 200

million documents for signature each year – projects to reduce ‘NIGO’ to zero and save

more than $20 per procurement contract with DocuSign. That’s astounding ROI.”

administrative staff to track down open contracts – have made it an easy decision to
