Another Step Towards a Paperless Office – EchoSign
Hopefully, you are already on your way to a paperless office with the help of CLIP, KnowItAll, and CLIP2GO. Recently, I found another tool for moving in this direction—EchoSign.
EchoSign’s online service allows you to send contracts or other signature requiring documents to your clients over the internet. Then your client will have the ability to sign or initial the document right on his computer and send it back to you right away. (See video below for demonstration)
My first question was: Is that legal? Their answer from their FAQ:
The Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (“E-Signature Act”) became effective in the US on October 1, 2000 deeming online electronic signatures on commercial transactions and most other agreements have a legal status equivalent to a written signature.
Additional helpful features include:
- Archive – hundreds of contracts on their website for later viewing (although I recommend downloading and attaching to the customer record in CLIP).
- Mobile Sign – customer can sign on any mobile phone with an internet browser.
- Embed into your website – don’t simply link to a document for a customer to print and send back. You can know have the customer sign right there.
A free trial is available and pricing for an unlimited signatures package costs $14.99/month.
