  9. CUSTOMER CASE STUDY © 2014 Demand Metric Research Corporation. All Rights Reserved. Study Participant Information Name: Brian Frank, Vice President – Global Sales & Operations, LinkedIn Company: Founded in 2003, LinkedIn is the world’s largest professional network with more than 48 million members in over 200 countries on 7 continents. LinkedIn connects professionals in technology, financial services, media, consumer packaged goods, entertainment, fashion and numerous other industries. The LinkedIn Corporate Solutions team provides productivity applications to enterprises which leverage LinkedIn’s unique social graph platform, including the LinkedIn Talent Advantage, a suite of tools to help companies acquire better talent faster. Product/Service Purchased: DocuSign’s eSignature Platform with DrawLoop to Salesforce Integration Length of Relationship: 6 years Problem/Challenge: As early adopters of eSignature solutions, LinkedIn already had experience with this product prior to their relationship with DocuSign. However, the lack of automation in their previous solution caused sales reps to often miss key steps during the initial contract creation and send. In turn, more work was placed on the Accounts Receivable staff to fill in the blanks in order to get invoices paid. This process added 25 days to the billing cycle. In order to ensure process efficiency and a reduced billing cycle, LinkedIn sought to integrate CRM data with contract creation. 9 Vendor Profile: DocuSign CUSTOMER CASE STUDY © 2014 Demand Metric Research Corporation.

This easy-to-use solution enables sales reps to create a contract with a few simple clicks, send the document to the right people instantaneously and receive a signed contract back from customers without the inconvenience of physically mailing a document or the hassle of contracts getting lost on a desk somewhere.  Widespread External System Integration – DocuSign partners with numerous CRM/ERP, email platform and collaboration tool companies to integrate their solutions directly with other Sales Enablement solutions that will help automate workflows for the customers.
