Remember the days of printing off documents in duplicate or triplicate, tagging the documents with little sticky notes, arranging a signing meeting, and then sitting around while all the parties signed their name in the right place?
Seems quaint now.
eSignature – and specifically Docusign – introduced one of the biggest time savers for the current generation of lawyers. This once time-consuming task has been replaced with a speedy process that ensures that the emphasis remains where value is added – in the drafting and negotiating of the contract itself.
And yet, the speedier execution process still has a few sticking points that lend themselves to even faster execution, and Xakia is happy to accommodate with these great features for teams who need to track their contract signing process:
- Tracking progress. When a document gets popped into Docusign, you can track progress, provided that you’ve been looped in as somebody receiving updates and copies. But if not…? If you are not the person who has arranged signing, and you’re being asked for an update, where do you go? Xakia’s user interface now brings the full signing audit trail directly into your contract record.
- Getting the contract from A to B, and then from B to C.
- From A to B: You’ve negotiated the contract and need to get it into Docusign for execution. Download > upload > create envelope etc. Now, with Xakia’s Docusign integration, your final contract (approved by your business stakeholders through Xakia) can be pushed directly into Docusign, including the creation of the envelope, signing order and stakeholders to receive a copy – all without any need to download, upload or leave the Xakia environment.
- From B to C: Document is all signed and it now needs to live in the document repository. No need to download and upload – the signed document will automatically live in Xakia as the ‘official’ document.
- Finding the signed document after the fact. One record with all the information you need – from contract metadata, lifecycle events, approval workflows and now full signing information and copies, you can find everything you need to know about the contract in one single source of truth.
Iteration on iteration, you can keep improving your contract workflow by adding small improvements that will save you minutes each contract, hours each week, days each month and weeks each year. Time you can now spend focused on the work that drives value for your organization.
While the existence of Xakia's integration with Docusign is transformative, we understand that true value lies in the details. The seamless design and thoughtful execution of this integration ensure it works flawlessly from start to finish, making it a trusted tool for those who rely on it daily.
