DocuSign Adds Authentify Voice Authentication for Digital Signatures

The true business benefits in electronic signatures are expediting the process in how contracts, agreements, and documents are signed and completed, solidifying each party’s consent. DocuSign, providers of digital signature solutions, have built an on-demand service to “empower” businesses large and small to operate faster and more efficiently.

Recently, DocuSign announced a partnership to integrate Authentify’s out-of-band voice authentication into the company’s electronic document signature service. According to the announcement, the authentication option strengthens the signature process by creating a biometric voiceprint and automating a defensible audit trail.

“It’s a very natural extension of our electronic signature process,” said Tom Gonser, DocuSign founder and chief strategy officer in a statement. “The synchronization of the Web and telephony process requires users to interact simultaneously during the signing engagement.”

The authentication option is available now with the DocuSign Spring ’10 release.
