Docusign IAM in Action at Discover
Developers, partners, and customers came together to explore opportunities to expand the agreement ecosystem and celebrate the entrepreneurs and partners who are already transforming agreement processes today.
With its extensible design, the IAM platform enables a wide range of use cases like data verification, file importing from third-party cloud storage solutions, automated reading and writing of data from existing business systems, and beyond. These real-world applications showcase its potential:
With Workday, SAP, and Salesforce integrations, the data that needs to be added to agreements, such as offer letters, procurement contracts, or sales deals, flows automatically from these systems into each agreement, ensuring accuracy and eliminating manual data entry.
Sandbox Banking, a fintech company, built Glyue - an app that automates customer account management tasks, such as address or payment updates, for financial institutions. By connecting formerly disconnected banking systems, Glyue reduces errors and enhances the customer experience.
Quik! created FormXtract, which uses AI to extract data from completed forms with near-perfect accuracy.
NeuraFlash, a systems integrator, partnered with MuleSoft to create a connector app using the new IAM APIs that integrates Docusign with systems like Coupa, SAP, and Workday - unlocking agreement data trapped in silos, eliminating manual data entry, and streamlining workflows for enterprise clients.
Velatura, a health information exchange managing over 12 million patient records, built a Maestro extension app that digitizes and streamlines patient consent management - replacing fragmented paper workflows and accelerating data sharing across healthcare providers.
Bonterms streamlines agreements with open-source, standardized templates for enterprise businesses, such as NDAs, service-level agreements, cloud terms, and more, crafted by expert legal professionals to reduce negotiation time. Partnering with Docusign, Bonterms will introduce new standardized agreements in the coming months, including ESG templates that will make it easier for companies to advance sustainability and compliance initiatives.
Transform Contract Review with a New AI-Assisted Review Feature
At Discover, we also announced the launch of AI-Assisted Review, a groundbreaking feature powered by Docusign AI that transforms the contract review process. This new capability streamlines negotiations by reviewing agreements against internally approved legal guidelines, flagging discrepancies, and suggesting language changes in real time.
With AI-Assisted Review, users can also generate new language from simple instructions, ask specific contract questions, and receive instant insights - all within Microsoft Word for a seamless experience. AI-Assisted Review is available for Docusign CLM users in the U.S. starting today and will expand to more countries and Docusign IAM next year.
