Contracts and agreements are the foundation of business. If you haven't switched to electronic signatures and automated agreements, then you're likely familiar with the delays and frustrations caused by manual processes.

E-signature solutions can be used for almost any agreement across all lines of business or industry. Here are just a few examples:

• HR: onboarding and employee documents

• Sales: sending quotes, contracts, and invoices

• Procurement: signing SOWs, MSAs, and purchase orders

Not all e-signature solutions are the same. Docusign eSignature goes far beyond capturing signatures. It's a foundational solution that helps more than a million customers deliver faster, safer, and smarter agreements at scale.

Ready to automate your agreements? Here are five reasons why you should choose Docusign eSignature:

1. Delight every signer with a superior experience

Signing the agreement is a critical moment in any customer journey. Whether it's accepting a job offer, closing a sale, or applying for credit, the ease of this experience shapes trust and impacts brand loyalty.

With features like responsive signing, SMS delivery, and intuitive web forms, eSignature ensures a seamless, mobile-friendly experience on any device. This means quicker turnaround times, higher completion rates, and satisfied customers. Docusign is a trusted brand that customers feel comfortable using to sign important agreements.

As Michael Krupka, Manager of Digital Transformation at Wieland, notes, "Docusign not only accelerates time-to-signature, it streamlines the entire contract flow for increased efficiency, cost, and time savings."

2. Mitigate risk through comprehensive security and compliance controls

In a digital environment, sensitive data is constantly in motion, making robust security and compliance controls a must. Free or basic e-signature tools often lack the audit trails and security features needed to protect your business from costly data breaches and legal risks.

Docusign protects your and your customers' data with enterprise-grade security and compliance controls, including:

• Secure authentication options

• CFR Part 11 modules

• FedRAMP authorization

• SOC 2 and GDPR compliance

Every transaction is backed by a Certificate of Completion and a detailed audit trail, ensuring legal admissibility and peace of mind. Docusign Monitor provides an additional layer of security to help guard your critical agreements by detecting unauthorized activity with rules-based alerts and taking decisive action once a threat is verified.

Docusign's commitment to security is reflected in its 99.9% platform availability and its recognition as the #1 "Most Trustworthy" software company in America by Newsweek in 2024 and 2025.

3. Move faster and more confidently with smarter workflows

Every agreement process consists of multiple internal steps-from creation and approvals to routing and storage. Manual or disconnected workflows introduce delays and drain productivity. eSignature automates and streamlines the following processes so you can move faster and focus on high-value work:

• Use pre-built templates for common forms and contracts like W-4s, I-9s, NDAs, and offer letters

• Capture data and dynamically populate content into agreements for signature

• Send personalized, high-volume distributions

• Automate common post-signature tasks with predefined actions

4. Work in the systems you already use with seamless integrations

Businesses rely on a complex ecosystem of digital tools. When agreement workflows are siloed from these systems, it creates friction and inefficiency. Docusign's flexible integration framework ensures eSignature works seamlessly within your existing tech stack.

Stay in your preferred platforms with over 1,000 integrations-including Salesforce, Microsoft, Google, and SAP. Its robust REST API and Mobile SDK enable tailored experiences and embedded signing, unlocking greater value from your current technology investments and eliminating manual rework.

Misty Sutton, SVP Project Management and Automation at Primerica, says, "The integration of Docusign has been transformational for our processes and our ability to provide best-in-class digital solutions to our sales representatives and our clients."

5. Sustainability that's smart for business and right for the planet
