“We’re excited at the opportunity to help DocuSign achieve its massive potential as it transforms DTM worldwide,” said Michael Dell, chairman and CEO of Dell.

The funding will fuel accelerated worldwide expansion of The DocuSign Global Trust Network.

“Intel and DocuSign share a hyper-focus on creating trusted platforms to power our customers’ success,” said Rick Echevarria, vice president of Intel Security Group and general manager of Intel Security Platforms Group.

“We’ve seen the value of the DocuSign platform, and we look forward to integrating our offerings to help our customers worldwide securely transact anything, anytime, anywhere, on Intel-powered devices.”
