To simplify the trainer contract approval process, OCWTP is adopting an electronic signature contract system developed by DocuSign, the world's most trusted electronic signature solution. As legally binding as a handwritten signature, DocuSign's electronic signatures are used in the banking, insurance, and real estate industries by companies such as American Express, ING, and Century 21.

DocuSign's process is entirely web-based so there is nothing to install on your computer. It's compatible with Windows and Macintosh computers as well as iPads, iPhones, and other smart phones and tablets. The signing process is very simple and it takes only seconds to sign and return the contract. While the signing process is paperless, you always have the option of printing a hard copy of the contract for your own records. Just as with written contracts, we need the electronic contracts returned to our office prior to issuing payment.

OCWTP will be rolling out this new contract process during February for the March contracts. In addition to saving time and money, this new process should decrease contract turnaround time and improve the return rate of completed contracts.
