DocuSign Named OnDemand Company of the Year by AlwaysOn



    DocuSign, Inc. (DocuSign®) announced that is has been awarded 2014 OnDemand 100 Company of the Year by AlwaysOn. Recognition as the OnDemand Company of the Year signifies DocuSign’s leadership amongst its peers and across industries as the standout organization on the cutting edge of Software-as-a-Service, cloud computing, on-demand software, and mobile technology. The award recognizes DocuSign as the company with the most game-changing approach and most likely to disrupt existing markets and entrenched players while creating new markets and value with its Digital Transaction Management (DTM) platform.

    "DocuSign took one of the universe´s simplest concepts – a legally binding signature – and turned it into an incredibly successful, sustainable online business," said Tony Perkins, founder, editor and CEO, AlwaysOn. "DocuSign´s promise of a secure online document transaction and collaboration environment is a powerful one – and the company´s market position will only get stronger as organizations of every size, industry and geography continue to benefit from DTM’s faster speed to results, reduced costs and enhanced customer experience. With the growing adoption of cloud and on-demand software, DocuSign will undoubtedly see even more growth, innovation and opportunity as the leader.”

    Analysts have noted that DTM is the future of successful business. “Many businesses are still stuck in the dark ages relying on pen and paper to transact business,” said Bill McBeath, chief research officer, ChainLink Research. “Keeping transaction flows 100% digital promises to be transformational for businesses across practically every industry and geography. The benefits of DTM – from cost savings to environmental impact, increased security and compliance, revenue acceleration and customer experience – are very compelling.”

    Aragon Research predicts ‘DTM’ to be one of the fastest-adopted business transformations in history surpassing Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) with 70% of large companies implementing DTM as a business imperative by the end of 2016.

    “The most innovative and progressive organizations have already implemented DTM and are now expanding use cases beyond their initial deployments,” said Jim Lundy, CEO and lead analyst, Aragon Research. “DTM is expected to grow faster than nearly every business category save for tablets. We predict DTM will be a strategic imperative for the vast majority of organizations large and small by 2016.”
