Continues 'Invest for Canada' initiative to accelerate regional growth
TORONTO, Sept. 27, 2018 /CNW/ -- As part of its continued
commitment to serve the Canadian market and to address the data residency requirements of organizations across the country,
DocuSign (Nasdaq: Docu) today announced the launch of its local data centers.
The news follows the original announcement of intent on stage at Microsoft Build 2017, and confirmed by DocuSign CEO Dan Springer again recently
during DocuSign's Q1 FY19 earnings call with investors and analysts.
It represents an opportunity for the company to continue to accelerate its growth in the public sector—both federal and
provincial—as well as in healthcare and life sciences, financial services and education. Canadian organizations in many fields
often require that their data be kept resident in-country. With local data centers powering its Canadian business, DocuSign will
meet that requirement.
"The opening of the data centers is an important milestone for our local business—and it's part of our broader 'invest for
Canada' initiative, which covers a range of principles and projects that drive a deeper focus on
serving the needs of the Canadian public and private sector," explained Dan Kagan, GM for the
Canadian business at DocuSign.
"We already have a strong private cloud infrastructure in many markets. With this new Microsoft Azure-based data center, we
now have an in-country cloud for the Canadian market, including data redundancy in multiple locations for business
continuity—something that's an absolute prerequisite for us given we operate a high-availability business."
The data center launch in Canada comes at a notable time for DocuSign as a whole, given the
company's recent unveiling of its vision to modernize the world's 'Systems of Agreement'—that is, providing the
applications and platform that companies use to prepare, sign, act-on, and manage agreements. This builds on DocuSign's existing
standing as the world's #1 e-signature solution provider. And it broadens the company's platform to automate and connect what
happens before, during and after an e-signature is executed.
"Every organization has a System of Agreement, even if it's comprised of paper and manual processes," noted Kagan. "With our
new data centers, we are ensuring every Canadian organization has the opportunity to digitize and automate its System of
Agreement while maintaining data-residency."
