Today, in conjunction with salesforce.com’s Dreamforce ’08 user and developer conference, AssureSign LLC, a leader in biometric electronic signature technology, officially unveiled the latest release of its AssureSign product, AssureSign v2.0.1. With this new release, AssureSign delivers a higher degree of automation and integration for users and administrators.  Salesforce.com customers will be able to test drive and deploy AssureSign v 2.0.1 starting November 13 on the Force.com AppExchange. 

AssureSign creates a digital representation of the act of signing using a unique encryption process that provides its customers with the utmost protection. The sequence, which is seamless and immediate, yields one of the most comprehensive service-based, electronic, hand-written signatures on the market today.

As with previous releases, the enhancements to the AssureSign product in v2.0.1 are critical to improving AssureSign’s ability to integrate with Salesforce CRM and the existing document management process already in place at many businesses. The previously released DocumentNOW™ family of Web service interfaces provided businesses with the critical ability to dynamically apply their data to template documents created in AssureSign. In AssureSign v2.0.1, new DocumentNOW™ interface methods enable users to pass a previously created document within the XML/Web Services API to AssureSign via the user’s preferred method; meaning users can choose to create PDF documents in external programs or merge data into a PDF using AssureSign’s integrated document streaming capabilities.

In addition, AssureSign’s Salesforce CRM integration has been enhanced in v2.0.1 to include the ability to send previously created documents for signature. AssureSign offers one-click document creation with Salesforce CRM data mapping and signatures for Salesforce CRM, as well as the ability to manage and report workflow progress. It will soon be available on the Force.com AppExchange, enabling Salesforce CRM users to realize shorter revenue cycles and a greatly accelerated sales process. With direct integration into Salesforce CRM, AssureSign can be up and running in minutes.

“The enhancements in AssureSign 2.0.1, particularly the document streaming capabilities, are significant to the usability of the product,” said David W. Brinkman, AssureSign’s Chief Executive Officer. “Users now have the capability to produce documents directly through AssureSign and Salesforce CRM, eliminating the need to purchase or learn additional software, broadening accessibility and saving customers time and money. And since AssureSign is a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) application, existing customers can immediately have this new functionality without having to upgrade any software on their system.”
