PALO ALTO, Calif., and SAN FRANCISCO, Web 2.0 Expo, April 16, 2007

EchoSign, Inc. and WebEx (Nasdaq: WEBX), the leading provider of on-demand

applications for collaborative business, today announced that Office 2.0 leader

EchoSign has joined the WebEx Connect Developer Network to make EchoSign

available via WebEx Connect.

WebEx Connect, the first collaborative on-demand platform, will enable

developers and customers to integrate multiple applications to create powerful

collaborative business "mashup" solutions from best-of-breed web-based, on-

premises and desktop applications.

Just as WebEx brought innovation to the middle of the sales processthe

demoEchoSign has rapidly emerged as an Office 2.0 leader by instantly

automating the end of the sales process, taking the deal from proposed to

closed. EchoSign is a 100 percent web-based service that completely

automates getting contracts signed, tracked and filedin seconds. Offering

instant e-signatures as well as automated fax signatures, EchoSign ensures the

deal gets done.

Through WebEx Connect, sales teams will now be able to leverage their

investment in WebEx to close more deals, and close them faster. EchoSigns

40,000-strong user base has on average seen their quote-to-close time fall from

over a week before using EchoSign, to under 40 minutes. In addition, EchoSign

Team and Enterprise customers have already seen a 15% increase in their

average close rates using EchoSign in 2007.

WebEx is the number one strategic tool for millions of salespeople working to

close prospective customers. So partnering and being part of the WebEx Connect

Marketplace was mission critical for EchoSign. We solve the last mile problem

for CRM and saleshow to get that deal closed, and how to track all you and your

teams deals out for signature. Theres no better partner for EchoSign, said

Jason M. Lemkin, CEO and founder of EchoSign.

EchoSign is one of the many applications users will be able to access through the

WebEx Connect Marketplace of applications. WebEx Connect will enable users to

integrate data from multiple applications into collaborative workspaces, custom

designed for their particular workflows and business processes. Unlike traditional

transactional applications, WebEx Connect is designed to improve productivity by

enhancing collaboration and interaction between individuals. By leveraging open

Web 2.0 protocols and collaborative WebEx applications programming interfaces

(APIs), WebEx Connect will make it easy to adapt on-demand, desktop, and

enterprise applications to create composite, mashup applications.

We followed EchoSign closely since its emergence as one of the most innovative

sales tools and Office 2.0 offerings. Like WebEx, EchoSign is truly changing the

way business is done. We are very pleased to have EchoSign as one of the keylaunch partners for WebEx Connect, said Shankar Iyer, vice president, WebEx
