DocuSign, a global standard for eSignature, recently announced DocuSign Ink, what the company states is the world’s first personal electronic signature, now available to billions of consumers around the globe. According to the company, DocuSign Ink helps consumers finish personal business faster by eliminating once and for all the hassles and costs of printing, faxing, scanning, and overnighting signed documents. With DocuSign Ink, individuals can safely and securely drag and drop their legally binding signature and initials into documents, place text and check boxes to complete forms, and then return via email.
