Well, things have slowed down a little after an exciting Dreamforce and the Thanksgiving Holiday and it’s time to reflect back on our experiences at Dreamforce 2009!

First, thanks to the thousand-plus customers, prospective customers, partners and monkey-seekers for stopping by to visit with us at our booth and at our partner’s booths, Riptide and BigMachines.  Many of you got to see first-hand the new, game-changing offer in AssureSign Verbal Agreements, plus see how our enhanced integration is the most streamlined way to get electronic signatures launched (verbal or written) and processed within Salesforce CRM.

One of the most exciting things was the resounding endorsement of Verbal Agreements.   We all know that electronic signatures speed up the document execution process, but what if you can gain an equally ESIGN and UETA compliant verbal agreement while you still have the customer on the phone?  Since we have been doing this for years outside of Salesforce CRM it was only logical to extend our offering.   We had many telesales, trading and not-for-profit organizations interested in these applications.

As electronic signatures become more widely accepted the most frequently asked question was “how is AssureSign different from other vendors?”  Well, it’s pretty straight-forward and was easily demonstrated....

·        We, along with all AppExchange electronic signature vendors easily and seamlessly integrate with Salesforce Realtime Quotes – of course there are differences in all vendors.  AssureSign’s document launch is more streamlined and transparent... Of course there’s more...

·        There really IS something to be said about signing with a mouse – it is familiar to signers, it looks like a real signature, is more broadly accepted, is equally ESIGN and UETA compliant and simply a better way to do it.  Why would anyone want to use a font to represent your signature?  Why would a third party accept a font-based signature?

·        AssureSign is the most transparent signature solution on Apexchange – you can completely brand the entire signature workflow so a signatory would never know they are using a 3rd-party signature application

·        AssureSign offers the ability to pre-sign documents by originators within the Salesforce CRM application – no need to leave Salesforce AND countersignatures are also accomplished without email, within Salesforce.  This creates a single user experience for complete document execution.

·        Immediate signing within Salesforce CRM – for field personnel with tablet PC’s or hand-held devices, signatures can be done face-to-face for field representatives

AssureSign would like to thank Riptide Software and BigMachines for their support and endorsement of AssureSign by demonstrating our application in conjunction with theirs in their respective booths. 

We look forward to upcoming Salesforce events and of course, remember to sign-up for one of our webinars to learn more.

And, lastly, please remember to take a minute and tell us 'where they are now’. In this season of giving and reconnecting with those we may have lost touch with over the last year, we at AssureSign would like to take this opportunity to get back in touch with some friends we haven't spoken to in a while.

We adopted out several monkeys at Dreamforce 2009, and would like to know more about where they now call home. Is your monkey in the loving arms of a child? Or sitting on your desk ready to cheer up a coworker on a rainy day? We will be setting up a "Where Are They Now?" blog, on which we will be posting updates from our long lost friends. If you know a monkey you'd like to see featured on the blog, please send us a picture and/or any information you have about its whereabouts. Keep checking back to read about other monkeys and their travels across the country and the world.
