Top reseller views electronic signatures as 'must-have' business technology, selects DocuSign

Seattle, January 23, 2008 - DocuSign, the leading Web-based electronic signature service, today announced that Allied Solutions, a leading reseller of financial services to credit unions and banks, will integrate DocuSign's eSignature service into Allied Solutions' wide variety of products and services. Allied Solutions selected DocuSign's enterprise-class eSignature platform because of the breadth and superiority of the DocuSign offering.

"Staying at the forefront of technological innovation has become a key to success in the credit union market today. At Allied Solutions, we recognized that electronic signatures were a 'must-have' in terms of not only being able to serve our members, but more importantly to help them serve their own clients. In our eyes, DocuSign is the clear leader in this area," said Peter Hilger, Executive Vice President, Allied Solutions. "Our members look to us for proven solutions to help them recruit new customers, cross-sell to their current customers and improve profitability. DocuSign's eSignature service, having delivered over six million eSignature events, will allow our members to quickly and easily service customers better, close new business and grow revenue."

As more and more financial services companies take their business online, the old-fashioned paper-and-pen methods for gathering signatures on loan applications and other documents has become severely outdated. By offering the DocuSign eSignature service to its members, Allied Solutions will provide a powerful solution with a proven track record of positive impact on profitability. Beyond the positive operational impact of DocuSign, Allied Solutions' decision to choose DocuSign was based on its enterprise-class architecture, and its world class standard for quality, security, and reliability. For example DocuSign's electronic signature service is housed in one of the world's most secure facilities, a SAS 70 Type II data center, which offers Allied's customers multiple levels of redundancy and security to ensure maximum availability of the mission-critical application.

DocuSign's enterprise-class hosted service makes it easy for partners like Allied Solutions to integrate DocuSign's eSignature service into their applications and software platforms.
