[Mangesh Bhandarkar on E-Signatures]
[In this video: EchoSign's current presence in Acrobat]
[How Adobe's e-signature workflow is changing the signing game]
[EchoSign integration in Acrobat XI and Reader XI]
[What is possible now with EchoSign and the Acrobat products?]
So currently we have a few things going with Reader.
In fact, we're pretty excited to announce
integration with Reader Desktop as well as Reader Mobile.
With Reader Desktop we have the ability for
users to easily sign documents in Reader,
complete the signing in Reader in a really easy and simple way,
and then be able to deliver those signed documents via EchoSign.
We just released a new version of Mobile Reader for
both Android and iOS.
In both of these environments,
signing of documents electronically becomes really, really simple
by allowing users to add text into the document--
fill up a form or fill up a document--
and then simply using their finger
to create a signature and place it in the right place within the document.
[What sort of opportunities are available to Adobe regarding signature workflows?]
[How is EchoSign improving upon these traditional workflows?]
Paper is such a prevalent form of getting documents signed,
and really what the opportunity here is for EchoSign and Adobe
is really to capture that market,
move people away from paper, move people over to this electronic way of doing things.
So certainly one vector of the opportunity for EchoSign
is really to extend in the direction
where Acrobat traditionally has been pretty strong,
which is the whole digital signature market,
and provide again a seamless solution for our users
all the way from really simple-type signature
all the way through high assurance digital identity based signature.
So that's sort of one vector of
the opportunity in front of us for EchoSign.
And so the other vector for EchoSign investment,
and this is sort of our theme for 2012,
is the whole web contracts.
We want to extend our footprint from just being a pure
signature provider
to sort of this broader footprint
around document creation and document exchange,
where we're allowing people to negotiate their contracts
and be able to arrive at this finalized version of the document
before it gets sent out for signature.
And that's the other sort of vector opportunity for us.
And both of these are really
very, very big and very, very interesting for opportunities for us.
[Acrobat XI comes out this fall. How will EchoSign be integrated with the next version of Acrobat?]
The next version of Acrobat will not only present
like--Acrobat and Reader, actually--will present
a unified way of getting documents signed,
be it from just simple--creating really simple signatures
by typing your name or using your mouse to draw the signature
all the way through the high assurance signatures
that Acrobat really already does very well
with digital signatures.
So what we're trying to do is, with Acrobat and Reader,
create a unified experience for what it means to electronically sign documents.
So what we're doing is
building integrations into Acrobat that allows
users to create a form within Acrobat--
create an EchoSign-ready form within Acrobat--
and then simply by the click of a button be able to then route that
document over to EchoSign for getting a document signed.
With the next version of Acrobat we'll have a lot of great things
around being able to
edit document content and have integrations with
Cloud services.
Commenting and review has always been a strong suit for Acrobat,
so as we think extending the EchoSign footprint,
we want to leverage the capabilities
that are already provided within Acrobat
and where appropriate sort of extend those capabilities
with what makes sense for sort of a complete end during workflow for our customers.
We have a huge opportunity in front of us,
and this is a great time to be a part of the EchoSign group.
