With an irregular frequency, we survey our customers to get a statistically significant representation of how much commerce flows through EchoSign. Our latest survey comfortably confirmed more than $200,000,000 of contracts a month are signed on EchoSign.
Why does this matter? It's part of the evolution of e-contracting and e-signatures, and Office 2.0 in general. Our CEO made a related post here, talking about how Office 2.0 is a 10-12 year journey, of which we are at about year 4. Year 4 is when Office 2.0 begins to go mainstream (if not having yet achieved ubiquity).
When EchoSign was founded, SaaS and web services were still perceived as something relatively new. Today, SaaS is not just mainstream, it's ubiquitous. Today, Salesforce.com alone has over 60,000 customers.
The same is happening with e-contracting and e-signatures, a few years behind. With $200,000,000 in contracts flowing through EchoSign a month, thousands of paying customers (including many in the Fortune 500), and very very close to 1,000,000 users ... $200,000,000 in e-signatures is edging right into mainstream.
Our plan and goal (together with our colleagues in the industry) is now to go from mainstream to ubiquity.
Once you've gone with e-signatures, you never go back.
