Taking transactions to the cloud for speed and transparency Taking transactions to the cloud for speed and transparency Companies today spend billions of dollars on technology solutions to automate their processes. But for many, the final step in these processes is performed with paper. When related documents need to be signed, inefficient processes like printing, faxing, scanning, overnighting, e-mailing, and data rekeying remain the standard. But there is a better way. Sales contracts. New bank accounts. Tax documents. Rental and employment agreements. Wherever documents play a crucial role in your business, you need to manage and complete transactions with proper reviews, approvals, and signatures. Getting the job done on paper or even through e-mail is incredibly slow, difficult to track, and timeconsuming especially when dealing with decision makers across your extended enterprise, such as partners, suppliers, and customers. Given the pace of business today, you can t afford to wait. And with the SAP Signature Management application by DocuSign, you don t have to. SAP Signature Management lets you push these processes to the cloud and eliminate the inefficiencies of manual document and signature management. It supports secure, automated workflows for collecting information and obtaining legally binding digital and electronic signatures from anywhere so you can transact business more quickly, reduce costs, and delight customers. 2 / 8
Introducing a solution anyone can use Introducing a solution anyone can use Using robust, efficient, well-managed business processes Collecting secure, legally binding signatures Achieving high availability and global reach SAP Signature Management serves more individuals and businesses around the world than any other digital transaction management solution. Its widespread adoption is due in part to how simple and easy it is to use. To send a document, you upload that document from your SAP software, add the names and e-mail addresses of your signatories and other recipients, and specify the order in which the signatures should be entered, if desired. Using drag-and-drop tags, you then indicate where you need signatures, initials, or dates. You can also add standard or custom data fields for signatories to fill in. Once you are done, you simply click Send. Links are e-mailed to recipients so they can access the document with one click from virtually any Internet-enabled device. They can review the document and start the signing process immediately. Tabs and simple instructions guide them through the signing process. No software, hardware, or training is required. People just need an Internetconnected PC or mobile device. So it s convenient for everyone. With highly secure digital transactions and legally compliant electronic signatures accepted worldwide, your business gains enormous advantage. 3 / 8

It protects highly confidential information by encrypting and making every document tamper conspicuous. And it consistently meets or exceeds the stringent security requirements of even the most highly security-conscious, global organizations including Fortune 500 companies and the world s largest financial institutions. With certifications such as xdtm, ISO 27001, and SSAE 16, SAP Signature Management is one of the most secure signature solutions available. 5 / 8
