Ecosign, the next level web 2.0 business app

Ecosign has built a robust and trustworthy SaaS product, usable for small/mediumsized organisations, as well as for departments in large corporations. This is really where Web 20 and SaaS products will find their new market. Because until now it has been virtually impossible for a sales manager or department manager to freely choose the software he needs to support his business work-flow. Now he can just rent the needed service without having to make his project into an "IT project", thereby having to involve the IT department.

EchoSign is a eSignature and contract management company helping you keep you get all your documents signed online. The company is a direct competitor to DocuSign which took a substantial round of financing in the summer of 2007. EchoSign fired back with a second round of $6 million and partnerships with CRM powerhouse Salesforce.com, WebEx and Zoho.

EchoSign’s signature process requires users to email documents through its system which takes care of the signing process on the other side. A machine readable fax cover sheet is added automatically to your email which includes a signable form or you can post a form to your website on which signers can authorize documents.

There are 4 levels of membership. For 5 or less signatures a month, the service is free. There are “pro”, “team” and enterprise levels as well that begin at $13 a month.

The market is shaky, but still there

Even though everyone is complaining and disturbed over the growing financial crises It seems as if the SaaS market is still on the move. Sales of services continues to grow, and customers seems to see the opportunities in signing up for low cost non-problematic solutions. To be quite frank, I believe the hard time market is really the best environment for SaaS.

Fraud & grand theft for 500 MDKK at IT Factory

The manager at IT Factory Mr. Stein Bagger apparently took 500 Mill DKK and went underground. The strange thing is that large accountant companies and a professional board was fooled so easily?

I really feel sorry for all skilled employees who now will face a winter out in the shill.
