Sales reps were emailing agreements, legal reviews dragged on, and key dates were buried.So they set out to fix it. Here’s the playbook they followed, with takeaways you can put into action today using Docusign.Step 1: Stop recreating agreements from scratchTeams were wasting hours draft

Hey Docusign Community 👋This month, we’re focusing on ways to modernize, streamline, and embed Docusign with fewer headaches. Two async AMAs (one for admins, one for devs) and a quick tip that could save your team from a recipient mess. Ask Me Anything (AMA): How to modernize agreement workflows when everyone's used to the "old way"Ever feel like your agreement process is stuck in the ‘90s?That’s exactly where Chris Lavin found himself at AAA Washington. Agreements had to be printed, scanned, and tracked manually—slowing everything down.By rethinking agreement workflows and introducing Docusign, Chris helped cut agreement turnaround time from 14 days to just one.In this async AMA thread, Chris is here to give you advice about modernizing agreement workflows.Rolling out Docusign and hitting resistance?

Hey everyone 👋This month, we’re looking at how to take the manual work out of managing agreements, from automating contract tracking with IAM tools to speeding up document prep with AutoPlace.Let’s get into it👇Docusign @ Docusign: Ditching the spreadsheetsIf you’re still using spreadsheets to track SLAs, renewals, and supplier obligations, you’re probably missing deadlines, duplicating work, or overpaying vendors. And you’re not alone.Docusign’s own legal operations and procurement teams felt the same squeeze.So they ditched the spreadsheets and used two IAM tools, Navigator and Maestro, to get out of reactive mode and into control.Here’s what they did (feel free to steal the playbook): Replaced contract tracking spreadsheets with a smart repository: Legal ops uploaded thousands of existing agreements into Navigator in just a few days. Now, every new supplier agreement signed in Docusign is automatically added. Set up automated renewal alerts: Instead of relying on task trackers an
