Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use DocuSign CLM in my organization when we need to electronically review and sign contracts with vendors. This document is then routed to each person who needs to apply an approval signature. Then when the document has been signed by all parties involved; we each get an email of the completely approved and signed document.

Pros

  • DocuSign routes correctly to whom it should.
  • DocuSign allows for you to request another code to go an obtain copies of documents that the link has expired for.
  • DocuSign is the best way for us to make sure that all people who need a contract signed to do that and make sure we have copies for our supporting documentation.

Cons

  • I can not thing of anything that I would change.

Return on Investment

  • The use of DocuSign has a positive impact on our jobs in my company because we are all in different states and it allows for us to receive the documents that need to go though the Purchasing Departments contract formation. It does this well and is just what we need.

Verified User

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Using DocuSign CLM is an extremely easy process, and simplifies the signing process, and eliminates the need to print something out, sign it, scan it, etc. Going forward, whether it’s for personal use or for business use, using DocuSign CLM is always a preferred process as it makes the signing process so efficient.

Pros

  • Ease of use
  • Not having to print
  • Not having to scan and upload

Cons

  • Making it as easy as possible for a client to use who doesn’t already have a login
  • Sharing a login for multiple people to use in an organization would be helpful

Return on Investment

  • Ease of the signing process
  • In the future when we need a contract or proposal signed, we will definitely utilize DocuSign CLM to make the closing process go as easily and smoothly as possible. In the past, having to actually go through the physical signing, scanning, converting to PDF, sending, etc., has been an unnecessarily cumbersome process and adds an unwanted step between us and bringing on a new client.
