Our team is constantly striving to improve the signature experience for users and has just released the ReAssign feature. This feature allows signers to forward a contract that has been sent to them to another signer. So, for example, say a person in sales receives a document for signature but the person who actually needs to sign it is the VP of sales, the person in sales can forward the signature request to the VP securely. This not only saves valuable time when executing a contract but also ensures that the contract is rerouted to the correct person, securely. For more information on how ReAssign works contact us.
In an effort to make the signature process more convenient and customizable for our users, we just released the Approvals Module. Originally created of one of our larger clients, the practicality and effectiveness of it has made it increasingly popular. The Approvals Module can be best explained under a scenario. Lets say that you send receipts and expenses out for approval internally using our electronic signature solution. Up to this point the person approving these expenses would either sign if he approves or not sign if he disapproves. With this new module the signer can now indicate if he approves or disapproves and this will be noted in the signature stamp and also change the color of the signature stamp depending on what he chooses.
This tool can be especially useful if more than one person are needed to approve, since the color coordinated signature stamp is easy to identify and makes the process much quicker and easier.
Contact our sales team for more information on how to integrate the Approvals Module to your account today!

Mike from SnappTraffic Consulting Says…
“As a technology consultant at a firm that helps companies set-up and customize their Salesforce.com account, I recently finished a project with a client that was seeking an electronic signature solution. After considering several vendors, we chose Sertifi’s Esign solution.
Sertifi’s ability to customize the solution to our exact needs was the primary reason we moved forward with their Esign solution. For example, we needed HTML forms so that the signer could input information before signing – Sertifi could do it. We needed seamless integration with Salesforce.com – Sertifi is listed on Salesforce.com’s AppExchange. We needed to send forms that changed based on customer needs – Sertifi could handle it. Best of all, Sertifi’s solution was priced better than the competition.
Working with the Sertifi team was a pleasure. They completed their customizations quickly and were able to meet on our schedule. Sertifi did a great job and provided an excellent solution – I look forward to working with your team in the future!”
The below is a recent customer testimonial from a client that has integrate Sertifi’s Esign solution within their Salesforce.com account.

Arik Hesseldahl at BusinessWeek wrote an interesting article this week which references corporate America’s efforts to eliminate paper and the subsequent progress over the last 30+ years. The following are a few highlights from the article:
“Thirty-three years ago this month the phrase “paperless office” entered the business lexicon in a BusinessWeek article titled “The Office of the Future.” In the article, George Pake, the legendary head of the Xerox (XRX) Palo Alto Research Center (PARC), foresaw technology that by 1995 would let computer users summon on-screen documents “by pressing a button,” eliminating the need for much if not all the printed paper cluttering workspaces…But the dream of a workplace where all that technology would eliminate the need for printed documents remains just that—a dream…
Three decades on, the financial and environmental imperative to reduce paper use is all the more real. Last year, U.S. companies printed 1.5 trillion pages, according to research firm IDC. That’s a 95,000-mile-high stack of paper, or the equivalent of 15 million to 20 million trees. RISI analyst John Maine esimates that companies will spend about $8 billion this year on paper alone; that doesn’t include costs for ink, toner, or running copiers, printers, and fax machines. In the typical office, for every dollar spent on printing documents, companies incur another six dollars in handling and distribution, according to Xerox…
Anyone who’s even come close to buying a house can attest to the mountains of paper amassed by the mortgage industry. Peabody (Mass.)-based 1-800 East West Mortage cut its annual paper use by two-thirds, in part by using a Xerox product that replaces paper with Web-based forms, digital disclosure documents, and electronic signatures, says Gary Roche-Bernard, the company’s director of information technology. Funding turnaround times went from an average of 15 days to 4, storage costs dropped by 75%, and the number of leased copiers went from 12 to 6. “There have been studies that put the paper costs of mortgages at $250 to $300,” says Judson Phillips, a Xerox vice-president. “We can get those costs down in the low teens on a typical mortgage.” (Read more)
Companies of all size and industry are now having a greater understanding regarding the ease and convenience of using Sertifi’s Electronic Signature solution. By having contracts, agreements, etc. signed electronically, clients are able to close deals faster, keep better track of forms/documents, and significantly decrease their fixed costs by limiting paper usage.
The mortgage industry - for example - is one of many industries that benefits from implementing Sertifi’s Electronic Signature solution into their process since the agreements are multi-paged and require numerous paper based copies of each agreement.
It’s worth noting, Sertifi’s solution can be implemented in various procedures of business operations outside of just sales. Our clients use electronic signatures to manage and track contracts, employee time sheets, even company expenses!

Along with our currently existing advanced routing capabilities such as second signers, carbon copies, etc. – Sertifi’s latest release is a “Megasend” plug-in which enables users to send multiple documents to multiple signers. By utilizing this feature, users can send out signature requests for one or more documents to multiple signers in a single action. The “Megasend” plug-in not only saves time, but, also gives users the ability to easily track the requests for signature sent.
In layman’s terms, say you want to send out 5 documents to 20 signers. With the “Megasend” plug-in, you simply enter the signer’s email addresses, upload the documents, and send! To view the status of the files sent, select “View My Files” within your administrative page, and you will see a “room” created for all 20 signers entered. Each “room” contains the files sent (in this case 5 documents) as well as a “bird’s eye” overview of the entire signing status.
For more information on the “Megasend” plugin, contact Sertifi Sales.

Late last week, John Foley of Information Week wrote an article on Electronic Signatures and the increasing demand for such a solution as more companies are looking for ways to switch over to an eco-friendly/paperless environment. Sertifi was mentioned in the article as one of the leading Esign vendors!
If you think about it, can you imagine a sales organization that isn’t looking to drive revenue and/or increase sales efficiencies by coordinating the signing process and decreasing the time to close? We can’t!
