eBook: A Guide to DocuSign eSignature for Procurement

Procurement has an important strategic role in today’s corporate world. From helping organisations avoid modern slavery in the supply chain to driving business innovation, procurement’s role is rapidly evolving. Yet procurement’s role is being undermined. A recent survey, The State of Systems of Agreement, 2019, conducted by Forrester Consulting on behalf of DocuSign, found that 46% of procurement professionals have experienced postponements in starting projects because of inefficient agreement processes.
