Closing 2.0--how do you get a signature?

I get a emails from various companies looking for publicity on my blog. Many are off target, but this one from Sertifi intrigued me:

"Closing 2.0 is all about providing your customers with the easiest and most convenient way to sign, store and retrieve mutual agreements. With our solution you can send agreement out for signatures where signers can choose to hand sign or electronically sign. Many of our customers such as Careerbuilder have seen as much as a 40% reduction in their contract cycle as well as drastic improvements in sales efficiencies."

While our company closes deals with POs, I certainly see the value of such a service for those who close with a contract, like trade advertising. "Let me fax you an insertion order" always seemed lame and unprofessional approach (especially now, in front of the 'facebook generation').

This looks worthwhile at about $25/month per user. And bonus is that you can 'manage the process' online, instead of the additional paper trail in the office.
