Sendside Announces The Release Of ' eSign', Sendside's Integrated Electronic Signature Application.

27 October 2008

SALT LAKE CITY -- October 27, 2008 -- Meeting the demand for the increasing use and acceptance of electronic signatures to execute legally binding agreements, Sendside Networks today announced the immediate availability of Sendside eSign, an enterprise-class, Web-based e-signature application that is integrated into the company's customer communication platform and managed network -- Sendside.

Sendside eSign enables organizations to sign documents in minutes, eliminating the need to mail, scan, fax, and manually sign them; cutting days to weeks from the contract execution process. Sendside eSign meets the requirements set forth by UETA and the ESIGN act and exceeds the capabilities of most e-signature applications, providing authentication of parties to the signature; a logical flow through the signing process and "intent to be bound"; and a secure repository where all signed documents can be stored and accessed by parties to the signature.

Sendside eSign is suited for any business that facilitates contracts, purchase orders, and other agreements with their customers. Unlike typical e-signature applications, with Sendside eSign a business user can view the status of contract as either "pending" or "signed," on an individual or aggregate basis, across the entire organization. The unique Sendside eSign dashboard feature provides sales management, contract management, and compliance officers with a powerful method of monitoring and proactively managing contract status and execution, which is especially important at quarterly and annual closes. Sendside eSign also reduces an organization's reliance on paper and eliminates mailing and courier costs.

"Sendside eSign enables you to create the best possible experience for your customers from the start of a relationship," said Sendside Networks CEO William Borghetti. "For many in professional or financial services, this agreement marks a starting point for using the entire Sendside platform as a value-add, robust, and secure communication channel between themselves and their customers.

"As we've experienced using Sendside eSign to execute contracts and non-discloser agreements with our own customers and partners, it is quick, easy for all parties, and signed documents are stored centrally for immediate access and review," continued Borghetti.

Jerry Buckley with the Electronic Signature and Records Association (ESRA) noted this past June: "The use of electronic signatures and records is fast becoming a competitive advantage as businesses continue to work through current market conditions and the demand for environmental responsibility."

Borghetti adds, "Sendside eSign offers the most convenient and secure method to execute legally binding transactions, yields dramatic bottom-line savings, and accelerates a company's time to revenue."

Sendside eSign is available as an integrated component of Sendside's application delivery platform and does not require any software configuration or downloads. For more information, call (801) 747-6320, ext. 229 or visit www.sendside.net.
