AMERICAN LUNG ASSOCIATION OF NEW ENGLAND CHOOSES
ECHOSIGN E-SIGNATURE SOLUTION
Improved Purchasing Process and Green Initiative Appeal to Renowned Health Organization
Palo Alto, CA, July 9, 2008 --- EchoSign, the leading provider of web-based e-signatures and
signature automation, today announced that EchoSign has been chosen by the American Lung
Association of New England as the vendor of choice to improve their purchasing processes and
human resource operations, and support their clean air initiative using electronic signatures.
The American Lung Association of New England covers six states in the northeast and processes
between 100-150 purchase orders per week. The need for electronic signatures was born out of a
bottle necked paper-based system that, prior to EchoSign, was bogged down in lengthy approval
cycles, and late vendor payments and penalties. Prior to EchoSign there was an online approval
system but it required a separate login and was cumbersome to use. Now, using EchoSign,
purchase orders can be approved directly from the user’s email and can be processed in minutes.
In addition, approvers can sign orders remotely so the process runs smoothly even when
approvers are offsite.
"As a proponent of clean, healthy air, it just made sense for us to leverage an e-signauture
solution to manage our procurement process," said Cathie Arnold, Vice President of Finance &
Operations. "EchoSign is easy to use and fit into our existing procurement processes seamlessly.
We're always looking for additional ways to use EchoSign and we are planning to use EchoSign
for our employee on boarding processes. We're excited to introduce EchoSign to other regional
chapters of the American Lung Association."
“We’re excited to welcome such a prestigious organization to the family of EchoSigners,”
said Jason Lemkin, CEO, EchoSign. “EchoSign is known as the easiest e-signature
service on the market, and it has been proven time and time again that our attention to
ease of use wins customers.”
