About "Business dX Store"

Along with the changes of employees' workstyles due to improved operational efficiency and the COVID- 19 pandemic, needs among small and medium companies for digital transformation (DX) have been increasing. However, companies face many challenges, such as which service should be selected from the large number available around the world. Moreover, cost issues often restrict their progress.

Since the Store offers Docomo's well-selected services at affordable prices for each DX category, it allows mainly small and medium companies hoping to begin DX activities but facing these problems to enter into contracts and use services with a sense of security, without issues in selecting services.

In addition, this service employs a common identification using Business d Account, which does not require management of ID/PW per service and enables the seamless use of services.

About Determination to Include CloudSign

It was determined that our CloudSign will be employed officially by the Store and provided as a service name "dX e-contract" by the end of March 2022.

Going forward, CloudSign will continue to evolve, aiming to create "the future 100 years and a new form of contracting," building a form of contracting and trust tailored to the times, and will seek to further penetrate the e-contract market to the point where "cloud signing" contracts is common practice.

About CloudSign https://www.cloudsign.jp

CloudSign is a cloud-based contracting service for businesses that replaces paper and seal with the cloud and enables contracts to be completed on a PC. Everything can be completed on the cloud, which speeds up the contracting process and reduces costs. The e-contract function gives a fixed electronic signature and time stamp that proves "when and who entered into which contract." Even in a remote working environment, it allows for smooth contracting, which is important for business activities, while ensuring powerful evidence of the contract. Since its launch in 2015, CloudSign has been widely introduced by companies and autonomous bodies and has the leading* share of the e-contract market.
