Live from Momentum London: The Business Acceleration Event of 2018

Today at Momentum London, DocuSign unveiled our expanded company vision, centred on our System of Agreement strategy. Attendees from across EMEA discovered all that’s possible with DocuSign, from product demos to customer stories.

With the day now wrapped, you can re-live the event as it happened. Let’s dive in.

07:59 Almost time…

The doors are about to open for the business acceleration event of the year. Held at the Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET), there couldn’t be a more apt venue for Momentum London. We’re joined today by DocuSign’s customers and partners, as well as those who are just starting their digital transformation journey.

08:00 Momentum London 2018 has begun!

What better way to start the day than breakfast and being one of the first to explore our Demo Zone?

This year’s event is an opportunity to showcase our vision to accelerate business with a purpose-built System of Agreement platform. The Demo Zone brings this to life with interactive demonstrations covering the four steps of a System of Agreement: Prepare, Sign, Act, and Manage.

For example, over in Prepare, guests can try out the Comments feature to see how senders and signers can communicate within, and about, any DocuSign transaction. Those interested in faster revenue are heading to Act to see how payments can be collected as part of the signing process with DocuSign's partner Authorize.net.

Our local team is on hand ready to answer guests’ questions and chat about the newest product features over coffee.

08:30 Pathway Labs get underway

The first of six Pathway Labs begin, kicking off with Core Envelope Sending Components. The Labs are twenty-minute sessions providing intuitive training and tips to get the most out of DocuSign.

“If you ask any DocuSign employee what other people say when they hear you work at DocuSign, it’s always, “DocuSign? I love DocuSign,” says Dan. “They love it because it’s so much faster, simpler, and more convenient than dealing with paper and fax machines or scanners or the post or showing up somewhere to sign something.”

Dan discusses DocuSign becoming a public company and what a milestone it is, and what the future holds. Namely: an increase in European investment to increase customer support.

Scott Olrich takes to the stage to reveal DocuSign’s vision for a fully digital, modern System of Agreement, and how e-signature is just the first step. Plus, an important part of establishing a successful Ecosystem of Agreement is utilising DocuSign’s great partners, such as SpringCM.

Leading Forrester analyst, Ted Schadler, expands upon Scott’s points, discussing why now, in an era of automation, is the time for a modern System of Agreement.

Neil Hudspith, President, Worldwide Field Operations, at DocuSign introduces DocuSign customers to the stage: Salesforce, T-Mobile, Shell, Unilever, and Arm. Our customers discuss their successes with DocuSign and progress toward a modern System of Agreement.

With T-Mobile, we have a demonstration of Responsive Signing, one of the latest DocuSign product features that sees agreements adapt to the screen size of your users’ smartphones, while Shell highlighted the end-to-end automation provided by SpringCM, Salesforce, DocuSign and SAP.

Next up, DocuSign’s Chief Product Officer Ron Hirson announces what’s in store to improve developer experience and organisation administration, including pre-built integration with the Ethereum blockchain and DocuSign Identify with remote Photo ID verification.

The GDPR came into effect in May this year and has been something our customers regularly talk about, so it’s not surprising that Keeping Data Private Post-GDPR is one of the most popular breakout sessions.

We are also joined by DocuSign customer Fieldfisher, represented by Senior Associate Lorna Cropper.
