DocuSign, a provider of electronic signature solutions, has announced a strategic partnership with iPipeline, a provider of sales distribution software for the insurance and financial services markets.

Under the agreement, iPipeline will incorporate DocuSign eSignature technology into its e-Policy Solution. The project is set to launch in beta version on July 1, 2010, and more than a dozen insurance carriers are contracted to begin using this solution.
"iPipeline streamlined the policy delivery process to eliminate errors and automate sales distribution. DocuSign provides a fast, safe, and secure e-signing tool to complete the final stretch of the e-Policy process," says Timothy Wallace, CEO of iPipeline. "Adding DocuSign to our interactive e-Policy Solution offers carriers, distributors, and producers a rich, easy-to-use tool that will simplify the workflow process and allow the consumer to easily sign electronically."

"In this economic environment, employing next-generation technology is the most cost-effective method to grow a business. This partnership leverages the best technology--iPipeline's Network and DocuSign's electronic signature service--to fulfill policies faster, safer, and more efficiently," says Steve King, president and CEO of DocuSign. "We look forward to working with iPipeline to further streamline business processes, reduce costs, and ensure the continued success of its customers."
