Google proudly (and geekily) noted today as the 57th anniversary of the barcode. Apparently, the first product purchased using a barcode was a ten-pack of Juicy Fruit gum.
Since then the barcode has gone on to many unimagined uses, including routing of EchoSign faxed documents.
While e-signatures are our primary function, EchoSign has sent and received almost 400,000 faxes since launching in 2006. We have a mature, proven global fax network with over 40 points of presence to receive faxes across the world -- from India to Ireland, to South Africa to Sweden -- and a multiply redundant fax processing system that guarantees your fax signatures are not only received, but processed in real-time. We also monitor our fax network by the minute to ensure 99.95% uptime and throughput.
The barcode is an unsung hero at EchoSign, but we're joining Google to raise a pint to honor its contributions to signature and contract automation.
