Translation: Keep It Simple, Stupid! No online service demonstrates this KISS principle better than EchoSign today. I have written about this online document signing service in the past. At the time, I explained what I liked about the service’s architecture, but I had yet to use it for any real application. I am a strong believer in the eat-your-own-dog-food philosophy, and I have used EchoSign as part of our setup for organizing the Office 2.0 Conference. Here is what I learned along the way, followed by some ideas for enabling complex workflows with Office 2.0.

It works pretty well for what it is, and haven't dropped any documents yet. Curious what Google has up their sleeve!

Lemkin Mon, 14 Aug 2006 02:26:29 +0000 http://itredux.com/blog/2006/08/08/echosign/#comment-8129 Tom, Thank you for the comments. EchoSign customers today already use EchoSign loosely together with services like Zantaz. We e-mail you PDFs of all your signed agreements, and Zantaz and other systems can securely archive those. We also have many users in the insurance space as you note in particular. EchoSign fax signed documents are as secure as an e-fax type service; and EchoSign e-signed documents are even more secure because they never "leave" our servers until signed. So I suspect your accountant would be comfortable with EchoSign today. Look to our next release (late September), we will be adding even more features then. Thanks again, -Jason Lemkin, CEO Tom,

It would be more complete if they would combine it with a secure email service. That way my accountant could use it to get my signature on tax forms, my insurance company could get my signature on policies/claims, etc. This has obvious applications for just about every business.
