After using Ooma for several months, I can say that I’m very pleased with it. I have the older version. The Ooma Telo looks promising, but it sounds like there are some problems that haven’t been quite resolved yet and some of the functionality doesn’t work like you would expect.

With the older Ooma unit and one Scout I’m able to have two phone lines. With two DECT 6.0 base stations and three DECT 6.0 headsets, we’ve been able to get a nice amount of functionality at a very low cost.

The Ooma service works well and I’ve had very few issues with the sound quality even though I’m on a 3.0/512 connection. Since the Ooma sites between the cable modem and the rest of my network, it can prioritize the traffic to keep a good quality sound.

There are several companies out there that will help you create a paperless workflow. Echosign offers a paperless approval and e-signatures with a free version as well as some paid versions. The free version is a great way to try it out without having to put any money up. This low barrier to entry sets their product apart from the competition. See the Echosign Review for more information and screenshots.

Docusign has a similar offering, but with no free version. Docusign offers some additional features and integrates with CRM systems. While Echosign uses a web based interface, Docusign has you actually download the documents that require your signature. Checkout the Docusign Review for more information.

For people who want a more generic solution, digital signatures and encryption give you a way to handle signatures and encryption without relying on a web based service. The downside is that it may take a bit more effort to get setup, but the upside is that you’ll be using a standard technology that works with most email clients on any platform.
