How to be more productive with this Docusign + Microsoft integration

What happens when you pair the productivity powerhouse that is Microsoft with everyone’s favourite electronic signature solution? You get a truly seamless signing experience that adds immense value to common business workflows. Let’s take a look.

Office 365, or Microsoft 365 as it will be called from April 22, is used by over a million companies worldwide – with around 38% of global market share when it comes to the office productivity tools like word processing, spreadsheets and databases that business folk rely on day-to-day. With so many people using tools like Microsoft Word, Outlook, SharePoint, Dynamics 365 and Flow to get their jobs done, it makes complete business sense to integrate Docusign into its native ecosystem.

That’s why Microsoft and Docusign are strategic partners

Docusign has made its industry-leading eSignature apps and Digital Transaction Management (DTM) functionalities widely available within Microsoft applications. There are separate apps for different Microsoft tools – making it easy for organisations to identify which apps they need.

Once the Docusign app is installed, it’s quick and easy to start transacting straight from your device.
