WebEx Connect Unlocks Software Suite and Enables New Generation of
Distributed Innovation with On-Demand Integration, Distribution and
Monetization Platform PALO ALTO, Calif. and SAN FRANCISCO, April 16
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Web 2.0 Expo -- EchoSign, Inc. and WebEx
(NASDAQ:WEBX), the leading provider of on-demand applications for
collaborative business, today announced that Office 2.0 leader
EchoSign has joined the WebEx Connect Developer Network to make
EchoSign available via WebEx Connect. WebEx Connect, the first
collaborative on-demand platform, will enable developers and
customers to integrate multiple applications to create powerful
collaborative business "mashup" solutions from best-of-breed
web-based, on- premises and desktop applications. Just as WebEx
brought innovation to the "middle" of the sales process-the
demo-EchoSign has rapidly emerged as an Office 2.0 leader by
instantly automating the end of the sales process, taking the deal
from "proposed" to "closed". EchoSign is a 100 percent web-based
service that completely automates getting contracts signed, tracked
and filed-in seconds. Offering instant e-signatures as well as
automated fax signatures, EchoSign ensures the deal gets done.
Through WebEx Connect, sales teams will now be able to leverage
their investment in WebEx to close more deals, and close them
faster. EchoSign's 40,000-strong user base has on average seen
their "quote-to-close" time fall from over a week before using
EchoSign, to under 40 minutes. In addition, EchoSign Team and
Enterprise customers have already seen a 15% increase in their
average close rates using EchoSign in 2007. "WebEx is the number
one strategic tool for millions of salespeople working to close
prospective customers. So partnering and being part of the WebEx
Connect Marketplace was mission critical for EchoSign. We solve the
'last mile' problem for CRM and sales-how to get that deal closed,
and how to track all you and your team's deals out for signature.
There's no better partner for EchoSign," said Jason M. Lemkin, CEO
and founder of EchoSign. EchoSign is one of the many applications
users will be able to access through the WebEx Connect Marketplace
of applications. WebEx Connect will enable users to integrate data
from multiple applications into collaborative workspaces, custom
designed for their particular workflows and business processes.
Unlike traditional transactional applications, WebEx Connect is
designed to improve productivity by enhancing collaboration and
interaction between individuals. By leveraging open Web 2.0
protocols and collaborative WebEx applications programming
interfaces (APIs), WebEx Connect will make it easy to adapt
on-demand, desktop, and enterprise applications to create
composite, "mashup" applications. "We followed EchoSign closely
since its emergence as one of the most innovative sales tools and
Office 2.0 offerings. Like WebEx, EchoSign is truly changing the
way business is done. We are very pleased to have EchoSign as one
of the key launch partners for WebEx Connect," said Shankar Iyer,
vice president, WebEx Connect ecosystem. The WebEx Connect
Developer Network provides the tools, training, resources and
community that developers need to build and market applications for
WebEx Connect. Developers can access WebEx Connect documentation,
APIs, a "sandbox" development platform and join the partner program
to access a beta WebEx Connect client. WebEx Connect partner
marketing services can help developers generate go-to-market
strategies and leads for the applications on the WebEx Connect
Marketplace. To learn more about the WebEx Connect Developer
