Digital transaction management company DocuSign has hired Grant Cleary as its SMB and partner marketing manager for Australia, as digital signatures look set to grow in Australia.
In the new role, Cleary will support DocuSign's SMB customers and partners. “I’m excited to join DocuSign at such a pivotal time, there’s a huge opportunity for digitisation of paper-based processes and I look forward to accelerating our momentum through targeted SMB and partner initiatives."
Prior to joining DocuSign, Cleary was marketing director for Ingram Micro's cloud business in Asia-Pacific for nearly three years. He has also had stints in marketing director roles for companies such as VMware and HP over the past 20 years.
DocuSign ANZ vice president Brad Newton said: "We’ve grown our customers in ANZ to more than 1,000 in the last financial year, fuelling demand for a senior leader like Grant to help customers fulfil their vision of ditching paper and going digital."
Based in the US, DocuSign provides electronic signature and digital transaction management services for online exchanges of documents. The company was founded in 2003 and now boasts over 225,000 businesses as customers in 188 countries.
The Australian federal government is slowly moving to a unified set of digital forms across all departments, which could drive an uptick in digital signatures. The Standard Business Reporting (SBR) framework will allow the Australian Taxation Office and other departments to automatically fill digital forms from the government’s various databases.
E-signatures are a part of the digitisation of government services and their widespread adoption will inevitably increase their acceptance by business owners. The accounting software companies are also jumping on the digital documents bandwagon. MYOB, Xero and Sage have added e-signatures to their practice management software.
