Box<\/a> released its new native e-signature product Box Sign on Monday, providing e-signature capability and unlimited signatures as part of Box\u2019s business and enterprise plans at no additional cost.<\/p>\n

The launch comes five months after the Redwood City, California-based company agreed to acquire<\/a> e-signature startup SignRequest<\/a> for $55 million.<\/p>\n

Box CEO Aaron Levie told TechCrunch the company is already securing content management for 100,000 businesses, and Box Sign represents \u201ca breakthrough product for the company\u201d \u2014 a new category in which Box can help customers with business processes.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are building out a content cloud that powers the lifecycle of content so customers can retain and manage it,\u201d Levie said. \u201cEveryday, there are more transactions around onboarding a customer, closing a deal or an audit, but these are still done manually. We are moving that to digital and enabling the request of signatures around the content.\u201d<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how it works: Users can send documents for e-signature directly from Box to anyone, even those without a Box account. Places for signature requests and approvals can be created anywhere on the document. All of this integrates across popular apps like Salesforce and includes email reminders and deadline notifications. As with Box\u2019s offerings, the signatures are also secure and compliant.<\/p>\n

The global e-signature software market<\/a> was estimated to be around $1.8 billion in 2020, according to Prescient Strategic Intelligence, while IDC expects it to grow to $3.8 billion<\/a> by 2023.<\/p>\n

Levie considers the market still early as less than one-third of organizations use e-signature due to legacy tool limitations and cost barriers, revealing massive future opportunities. However, that may be changing: Box worked with banks during the pandemic that were still relying on mailing, scanning and faxing documents to help them adapt to digital processes. It also surveyed its customers last year around product capabilities, and the No. 1 \u201cask\u201d was e-signature, he said.<\/p>\n

He mentioned major players DocuSign and Adobe Sign \u2014 two products it will continue to integrate with \u2014 among the array of technology within the space. He said that Box is not trying to compete with any player, but saw a need from customers and wanted to proceed with an option for them.<\/p>\n

The e-signature offering also follows the hiring of Diego Dugatkin<\/a> in June as Box\u2019s new chief product officer. Prior to joining, Dugatkin was vice president of product management for Adobe Document Cloud and led strategy and execution for Adobe\u2019s suite of products, including Adobe Sign.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur strategy has been for many years to expand our portfolio and power more advanced use cases, as well as a vision to have one platform to manage everything,\u201d Levie said. \u201cDiego has two decades of tremendous domain experience, and he will make a massive dent in powering this for us.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to the e-signature product, Box also introduced its Enterprise Plus plan that includes all of the company\u2019s major add-ons, as well as advanced e-signature capabilities that will be available later this summer, the company said.<\/p>\n
