E-Signature

Win the Deal Negotiate & Close High-signal capability Updated July 2026

E-Signature — E-signature captures legally binding execution of the contract — signing order, identity verification, and a tamper-evident audit trail. It is the last gate before a deal is won; a completed signature triggers CRM closure, provisioning, and the start of billing.

Where it sits in the lifecycle

E-Signature lives in the Negotiate & Close phase of Win the Deal — the stage where you quote, negotiate, and close on governed pricing. In the corpus tool index this phase maps to the CPQ and CRMcategories.
