Docusign plans Australian data centre, answering national push for digital sovereignty and data security
Local innovations include the launch of AI Contract Agents and a new integration with IDVerse SYDNEY, Aug. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Docusign (NASDAQ: DOCU), the Intelligent Agreement Management company, has today announced the upcoming plans for a local data centre, slated in the fourth quarter of this year. This strategic expansion will provide Australian customers with faster access to Docusign's suite of end-to-end agreement solutions, enhanced performance and reliability – and offers customers the ability to store and process their agreement data within Australia, and to support customer compliance needs under local privacy laws and industry regulations. The new data centre will host its Intelligent Agreement Management platform (IAM), empowering organisations across the public and private sectors to keep critical data onshore while accelerating their digital transformation ambitions. Allan Thygesen, CEO of Docusign, said: 'Regulated Australian businesses and government agencies are asking for strong data protection and compliance as they increasingly move to digital platforms. Our local data centre will give customers greater confidence that their information is secure and managed according to local standards, while enabling them to access innovation and productivity gains faster than ever before.' Agreement management has long hindered business growth through fragmented tools and inefficient processes. Deloitte identifies poor agreement management as a A$3.13 trillion problem, with new research showing 77% of high-performing organisations attribute their success to mature, AI-enhanced contract management systems. With poor agreement management impacting Australian businesses, the launch of the Australian data centre marks just one aspect of Docusign's commitment to innovation. Today it has also unveiled significant enhancements to its Intelligent Agreement Management (IAM) platform, introducing AI agents and an integration with IDVerse – a trusted identity verification method. AI Contract Agents: A Smarter Way to Manage Agreements End-to-EndIn Australia, Docusign is introducing the industry's first purpose-built AI contract agent designed to accelerate workflows, reduce risk, and achieve better outcomes across the entire agreement lifecycle. Instead of contracts sitting in a queue waiting for manual review, Docusign AI contract agents can analyze agreements in seconds, flag risks, and surface issues requiring human expertise — transforming administrative bottlenecks into streamlined workflows that unlock opportunities for growth. IDVerse Docusign's integration with IDVerse's Digital ID service is a significant advancement for the Australian and New Zealand (ANZ) market, delivering a powerful solution for identity verification (IDV). This partnership will enhance the Docusign platform by embedding a trusted identity verification method directly into the digital agreement workflow for use across every organisation and industry. 'Last year Docusign made a major pivot from being an electronic signature company to launching a new AI contracting platform, Intelligent Agreement Management. Since then, IAM has become the fastest growing product in our company's history. With it we've created purpose-built AI that understands the language of agreements like nothing else in the market. It's a leap forward in business technology that helps organisations reclaim lost value by transforming agreements into strategic levers for growth, risk mitigation, and smart decision making. Now with AI contract agents and IDVerse, we're taking that potential even further, bringing automation to the entire agreement management process,' added Thygesen.

DocuSign Macro Risks Could Cap Upside Despite AI, IAM Traction: Analyst
JP Morgan analyst Mark R Murphy maintained a Neutral rating on DocuSign, Inc. (NASDAQ:DOCU) with a price forecast of $81 on Tuesday. Heading into DocuSign's fiscal first-quarter earnings report, Murphy maintained a cautiously optimistic view, expecting the company to deliver relatively stable execution despite a dynamic-but-manageable macro environment. The analyst noted that DocuSign's recent pattern of fairly conservative guidance sets the company up well to deliver upside to current fiscal first-quarter estimates, while still likely allowing it to maintain some cushion for the back-half of the year to account for ongoing macroeconomic and geopolitical volatility. Also Read: He continues to sense a more balanced risk-reward profile for DocuSign in the medium term, with Intelligent Agreement Management (IAM) traction continuing to drive some stabilization and improvement in growth rates. This is partially balanced by an inferior GAAP profitability framework amid an ongoing IAM investment cycle and some exposure to macro-sensitive end-markets. Murphy noted that DocuSign is well positioned to meet or exceed its fiscal first-quarter guidance bar, calling for +6% CC revenue and proforma billings growth. Both of these call for some deceleration versus the prior quarter, though they include some leap year impact. While DocuSign may elect not to entirely pass through any fiscal first-quarter upside nor incremental currency favorability to the full-year guidance, similar to peers, the analyst noted this could create a favorable setup for the second half, particularly as IAM contributions continue to feather in. Partially balancing this, Murphy said that DocuSign's fiscal 2026 outlook assumes consistent macro trends relative to when it was provided in mid-March. As a result, any degradation in underlying demand activity could exert some drag against ongoing improvements in the core business and go-to-market efforts. While the analyst noted the potential for some continued variability in key metrics, such as customer adds and DNR, he continued to monitor for commentary related to envelopes sent and consumption, for which the company's indications have been encouraging in recent quarters, to assess the underlying health of the core business, including in more macro-volatile verticals and geographies. In addition, coming off DocuSign Momentum, where the company highlighted new AI-driven products such as AI Contract Agents backed by its Iris AI engine, Murphy remains focused on DocuSign's ability to drive further upsell and diversification from its core eSign base through newer features, likely to aid retention trends over time. As a reminder, DocuSign also commented that it expects this IAM contribution to grow in fiscal 2026 and represent a 'low-double-digit' percentage share of its total subscription recurring book of business (ARR) by the fiscal fourth quarter. Overall, Murphy remains encouraged by the pacing of adoption for this broader IAM platform, which has aligned with his view of an accelerated adoption cycle relative to contract lifecycle management (CLM). He noted that much of the penetration today has been in the small and mid-market segments, with the enterprise segment and self-serve motion likely to ramp gradually as the year progresses. As a reminder, DocuSign disclosed at its Momentum conference in April that over 10K customers had purchased IAM. The analyst noted that IAM adoption by a 'low-double-digit' share of the total Subs ARR base by year-end could drive a fairly meaningful uplift in the spending of existing eSign users, potentially resulting in a low-single-digit tailwind to growth trends in the medium-term. Overall, Murphy noted this as a fairly tepid reading on balance when evaluated on a Y/Y growth basis, though he noted that these results for the first quarter land above five of the past ten quarters. While an informative additional data point, he cautioned investors from over-indexing these web traffic figures, given the volatility in these metrics and an absence of supporting transaction-based trends within this data. Murphy projected first-quarter revenue of $747 million and adjusted EPS of $0.82. Price Action: DOCU stock is trading higher by 1.10% to $92.62 at last check Wednesday.
