Offering Office 365 and SharePoint administrators the ability to enable the digital signature service remotely for their users.
The digital signature service will also not require a separate login to use the DocuSign service from within the supported Microsoft’s applications, and all documents will be stored on Microsoft’s newly renamed OneDrive cloud storage service, which was formerly known as SkyDrive. Microsoft’s John Case, vice president of marketing explains :
