WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Work Number, a service of Equifax, recently partnered with Seattle-based DocuSign to provide organizations and consumers a means to capture electronic signatures.

Leveraging DocuSign's eSignature solution, organizations, including dealerships, can now submit electronically signed consent forms when required while using Equifax verification services.

Federal agencies such as the Social Security Administration have established entirely electronic secure data transactions, reinforcing the belief Equifax and DocuSign hold about the strong demand for such methods.

DocuSign maintains an online contract execution platform, permitting parties to consent to use electronic records and signatures, execute a contract with electronic signatures and retain copies of the executed contract on paper and/or in electronic form. The DocuSign system can control the routing, signature capture, activity logging and storage of original documents that are uploaded by a sender.

"Electronic commerce is enjoying rapid adoption across many sectors, in both business and government transactions," explained Vince Corica, senior vice president at Equifax.

"Methods for initiating, completing and recording electronic signatures and records are expanding as demand increases with many technologies to choose from," Corica continued. "In order to accommodate the increasing demand for paperless transactions and records, Equifax partnered with DocuSign to support electronic signature methods across various industries."

DocuSign chief marketing officer Dustin Grosse added, "DocuSign's eSignature solution helps customers finish business faster.

"By partnering with Equifax, we're able to offer a complete solution to streamline processes and improve efficiencies," Grosse went on to say. "With electronic signature technology, organizations can speed processes, reduce costs and increase security for obtaining a signature."
