Docusign has launched a desktop PDF editor as part of its Intelligent Agreement Management platform. The software enables users to edit, redact, and combine documents before sending them out for signatures from a single application.
Why it matters
The tool reduces the need for users to switch between multiple external applications when preparing contracts. This consolidation aims to improve efficiency within the document signing process.
Docusign reported fiscal second-quarter revenue of $875.7 million for the period ending July 31. The firm projects its Intelligent Agreement Management strategy will account for 18% to 19% of total annual recurring revenue by the end of fiscal 2027.
