CONTRACT MANAGEMENT
CONTRACT MANAGEMENT
Handling contract processes efficiently is a key delineator
for the modern company. In this scenario, a company needs
to send a service contract for a legal signature to both its
own company’s manager and an external customer. Once the
final version of the contract has been created, the company
can easily send the document to DocuSign® directly from
the Therefore™ Viewer using the new “Get Signed” button.
DocuSign® then sends the contract to the customer, who
signs it electronically, and then to the manager who signs it
as well. Once all signatures have been collected, DocuSign®
sends the document back to the company, where it can
quickly be saved into Therefore™, either manually or
automatically using an indexing profile.
