American Lung Association of New England Chooses EchoSign E-Signature Electronic Signature Solution

AMERICAN LUNG ASSOCIATION OF NEW ENGLAND CHOOSES ECHOSIGN E-SIGNATURE SOLUTION Improved Purchasing Process and Green Initiative Appeal to Renowned Health Organization Palo Alto, CA, July 9, 2008 --- EchoSign, the leading provider of web-based e-signatures and signature automation, today announced that EchoSign has been chosen by the American Lung Association of New England as the vendor of choice to improve their purchasing processes and human resource operations, and support their clean air initiative using electronic signatures. The American Lung Association of New England covers six states in the northeast and processes between 100-150 purchase orders per week. The need for electronic signatures was born out of a bottle necked paper-based system that, prior to EchoSign, was bogged down in lengthy approval cycles, and late vendor payments and penalties. Prior to EchoSign there was an online approval system but it required a separate login and was cumbersome to use. Now, using EchoSign, purchase orders can be approved directly from the user’s email and can be processed in minutes. In addition, approvers can sign orders remotely so the process runs smoothly even when approvers are offsite. "As a proponent of clean, healthy air, it just made sense for us to leverage an e-signauture solution to manage our procurement process," said Cathie Arnold, Vice President of Finance & Operations. "EchoSign is easy to use and fit into our existing procurement processes seamlessly. We're always looking for additional ways to use EchoSign and we are planning to use EchoSign for our employee on boarding processes. We're excited to introduce EchoSign to other regional chapters of the American Lung Association." “We’re excited to welcome such a prestigious organization to the family of EchoSigners,” said Jason Lemkin, CEO, EchoSign. “EchoSign is known as the easiest e-signature service on the market, and it has been proven time and time again that our attention to ease of use wins customers.” About EchoSign In just one click, the EchoSign solution automates the entire e-signature process from the request for signature to the distribution and filing of the executed agreement or form.
