Microsoft announced today that it has entered into a “long-term strategic partnership” with DocuSign to offer the latter’s eSignature apps across all of Office 365. What this means is that Office 365 will now be able to submit and digitally sign documents without having to leave Office. It’s a win for DocuSign as its product will be used in more places and it’s a win for Microsoft as it keeps users inside the Office ecosystem.

“Leading partners like DocuSign are building apps on the Office platform to help our customers get more value directly from their most highly used applications,” said John Case, vice president of Marketing, Microsoft Office. “This partnership with DocuSign helps our customers keep transactions digital and manage eSignatures seamlessly from within Office 365, where they already communicate, collaborate and create.”
