EchoSign Announces New Web-Based Service Allowing Instant Electronic Signatures of On-Line Forms

SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- May 8, 2007 -- EchoSign (www.echosign.com), the leading web-based signature automation service, announced a new version of its web 2.0 solution that now enables organizations to post interactive forms as a "widget" on any website or secure portal, without programming. Announced at the Software 2007 conference, the new EchoSign web-based forms service enables visitors to complete and sign embedded forms in real-time, saving time and money, while increasing efficiency in online forms processing.

For the first time, companies can post forms to their websites which can be reviewed and electronically signed in seconds. Employment applications, W9 or W4 forms, credit authorizations, terms and conditions, NDAs -- anything -- can now be signed on a website or portal without a single line of code. With EchoSign users don't need to print the forms, or wait for the paperwork to make it back through fax machines or overnight mail. Organizations can go even further and post interactive PDF forms with annotations on specific fields to indicate how they should be completed by the user. Users can then just review and sign in seconds on any website.

"On-line forms are one of the most ubiquitous ways to collect data on the web, and PDF forms are the de facto way businesses automate creating forms. But until now, there hasn't been a way to wed them -- and then complete the process in real-time by electronically signing -- in one single step," said Jason Lemkin, CEO of EchoSign. "We've provided a seamless way for organizations to post, track and get instant e-signatures on any form or application without any programming. These new capabilities further enhance our service and solidify our position as the only true signature automation solution on the market today."

With EchoSign e-signature's service, legally binding electronic signatures are instantly delivered in PDF format to both sender and recipient. Unlike virtual fax or e-signature software, EchoSign offers an end-to-end solution by automating the entire signature process from the request for signature to the distribution and filing of the executed agreement or form. The EchoSign e-signature service complies with the Electronic Signatures Act (Public Law No: 106-229) that went into effect on October 1, 2000, giving electronic contracts the same weight as those executed on paper.

In addition to e-signatures for interactive forms, the latest EchoSign release supports eFax integration and document archiving. For those using both eFax and EchoSign, they can now have any incoming faxes automatically archived in their EchoSign account.

EchoSign also provides users with instant access from anywhere to the status of outstanding agreements -- which documents and forms are still out for signature; which ones have been signed; and which ones haven't. And EchoSign archives all of its users' documents and forms in the standard PDF format, with the signature included.

Available at www.echosign.com, EchoSign can be instantly deployed, with no software to install.
