CAMPBELL, Calif., March 6, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Barracuda
Networks, Inc. (NYSE: CUDA) and SportsForms today announced a
simplified process for sending and collecting forms for youth
sports clubs, leagues, and tournaments with the SignNow e-signature
platform. Powered by the SignNow REST API, SportsForms removes the
hassle of managing paperwork such as medical waivers, concussion
forms, codes of conduct, birth certificates, player pass photos and
league player contracts, and empowers athletes and parents to
electronically sign required documents securely from anywhere and
any device.
SportsForms is a service company designed for sports team
managers, club directors, tournament organizers and sports leagues
to send, sign and save team paperwork electronically. Powered by
SignNow, SportsForms takes virtually any paper document, digitizes
it and makes it available for electronic completion and signature.
Users receive a link to sign a document and complete it using a
standard web browser, or iOS or Android device. Once completed, the
documents are automatically made available online to the team
manager or club administrators. SportsForms allows for the simple
and efficient collection of documents without printers, scanners,
fax machines or even paper, pens or ink.
"Our business is dynamic, so we needed an e-signature provider
that was dynamic as well, and SignNow has been there for us,"
said Michael Brown, President,
SportsForms. "We take full advantage of SignNow's robust
API to provide our sports clubs, leagues and tournaments with the
customized document workflows they expect from
SportsForms. Much of our super-high customer satisfaction
rates can be contributed to the stability and extensibility of the
SignNow platform."
"SignNow simplifies the joy of participation," said
Ken Grohe, senior vice president and
general manager, Emerging Technology, Barracuda. "The SignNow
API was built with the developer in mind – easy to implement,
manage and use with an intuitive interface designed for simplicity.
Together with SportsForms, we're empowering sports teams to remove
the hassle of dealing with paperwork so they can focus on their
players and the game."
Leveraging the SignNow REST API, SportsForms makes it easy
for sports clubs, teams and tournaments to simplify their workflow
processes. Administrators can easily provision accounts, post
documents, and create signing invites, as well as view status on
all existing documents, including required fields, user provided
field data, complete audit history, status of outstanding invites,
and complete document structure. SignNow signatures are recognized
as valid under the 2000 U.S. Electronic Signature in Global and
National Commerce Act (ESIGN) and Uniform Electronic Transactions
Act (UETA). Data passed through SignNow stays secure with SSL
encryption.
