TWST: Let's begin with a short history and overview of Echosign.
Mr. Lemkin:My co-founder Jeff Zwelling was managing one of the largest online lighting retailers and he got so tired of the constant struggle of tracking down signed agreements and other papers having to do with his lighting business so we teamed up to come up with a better way to keep things organized. EchoSign automates getting your paper work signed, tracked and filed for you. And we are a novel web 2.0 business service that completely ends all the headaches and frustration around paperwork, everything from contracts to new hire documents to employee benefits forms.

TWST:How does the process work? What are the steps involved for storing and authenticating a document?
Mr. Lemkin: To use EchoSign, go to our web site at EchoSign.com and get started in seconds. From EchoSign.com, you can send anything you need signed out for signature---- say an offer letter -- and EchoSign does all the work. We track down either written signatures or if you want electronic signatures from as many people as you need. If the recipient doesn't sign, we remind them until they do, automating this followup process for the user. And the second it's signed, EchoSign e-mails out PDF copies of those signed documents or contracts to everyone that needs one, you, the person that signed it, and anyone else in your organization that needs a copy, e.g. accounting, the CFO, etc. A backup copy of the signed document is also saved for you at echosign.com. So, if you lose that contract or document, you can always find it in seconds by going to EchoSign's web site.
