Signeasy expands mid-market capabilities while staying true to its brand promise of simplicity and customer delight
Introduces AI-powered contract review and summarization, bulk send, SMS signatures, and enhanced security for contract management and automation. DALLAS, May 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Recognizing the growing demand among mid-sized businesses for a contract management solution that is both powerful and easy to use, Signeasy today announced news of its strategic expansion into the mid-market segment. Building on its reputation for simplicity and exceptional customer delight, Signeasy has introduced features tailored for mid-market needs, including AI-powered contract insights, bulk sending, SMS-based signatures, and enterprise-grade security features such as digital signature certificates, single sign-on (SSO), and advanced user management controls for document visibility and access. 'As mid-sized businesses scale, they require solutions that are seamless, reliable, and ready to grow alongside them without added complexity or costs', said Sunil Patro, Founder and CEO of Signeasy. 'Signeasy's enhanced mid-market capabilities reflect our commitment to making contract management effortless and accessible for growing companies through a cost-effective solution.' Bridging the gap in contract management Although mid-market companies form the backbone of many industries, they are often underserved when it comes to software solutions that combine sophistication with simplicity and security. Many still rely on outdated processes — email chains, manual approvals, and shared folders — that slow down operations and increase compliance risks. Enterprise tools, while robust, often require heavy IT lift, come with high implementation costs, and lack the flexibility needed for dynamic teams. Signeasy addresses these challenges with: Enterprise-grade security: Ensure trust and compliance with tamper-proof Trust Seals, Single Sign-On (SSO), and two-factor authentication (2FA). Additionally, role-based permissions, document visibility settings, and audit logs give organizations full control over document access, tracking, and security. AI-powered insights: Accelerate contract review and manage risks better with AI-generated contract summaries, key term extraction, intelligent Q&A, and renewal reminders — freeing teams from manual work and reducing turnaround time. Centralized document management: Streamline contract execution at scale with cloud storage integration, document editing, bulk send, and SMS-based signature requests — combining convenience and automation. Secure and organized folders help businesses manage signed contracts for quick retrieval and better compliance oversight. These updates are built to integrate smoothly with tools mid-market companies already use, such as Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, and popular CRMs — removing barriers to adoption and reducing training time. With these enhancements, Signeasy is redefining contract management for both small and mid-sized businesses, empowering them to operate more efficiently, reduce risk, and scale with confidence. For more information, visit About Signeasy Signeasy is an AI-powered eSignature and contract management platform that enables businesses to prepare, sign, track, and manage contracts with speed and simplicity.

Behind the scenes on launch day for ESA's Biomass mission
In the early morning of April 29, people in Kourou, French Guiana, were woken up by the roar of the Vega-C rocket as it carried Biomass, the latest satellite from the European Space Agency (ESA), successfully into space. The Biomass mission not only represents a leap forward in the scientific understanding of tropical forests, but its launch also marked a major step toward securing Europe's independent access to space. Euronews Tech Talks was on site in Kourou for the launch, and with this second special episode on Biomass, we bring you behind the scenes of the launch preparations. The operations on the day of the launch of a satellite, also referred to as D-Day, are just the tip of the iceberg in a long process to get it into space. In the case of Biomass, the project started more than a decade ago and involved several professionals who dedicated their competencies to building the satellite, developing the rocket, and coordinating every step up to and after April 29. Launch preparations began as early as March 7, when Biomass arrived in French Guiana after a two-week voyage across the Atlantic Ocean. Upon arrival in Kourou, the satellite was transported to the spaceport, removed from its shipping container, and thoroughly inspected for any potential damage. Next, Biomass was fuelled and attached to the adapter that would connect it to the Vega-C rocket, enabling its journey into orbit. On April 14, Biomass was placed inside the fairing, the top part of the rocket, then transferred to the launch pad at the Tangara site. There, the fairing containing the satellite was placed on the Vega C launcher, followed by more checks and a practice run known as the dress rehearsal. With all checks completed, it was time for the first weather forecast, a crucial step in the process. "We need good weather conditions to authorise the launch," explained Jean Frédéric Alasa, launch range operations director at CNES, the French Space Agency. "The rain is not a major constraint, it's more about the wind. If the launcher were to explode, we want to make sure the debris falls far from the populated areas," he continued. Luckily, on April 29, the wind was very mild, and the satellite launch was authorised. Vega C lifted off at 6:15:52 AM local time in Kourou. This time was precisely calculated and had to be respected to bring the satellite into the correct orbit. "For all the SSO missions, there is no launch window, but just one time at which the satellite can be lifted off," Fabrizio Fabiani, head of the Vega programme at Arianespace, explained. "Each day could be a good day, but at the same instant". SSO stands for sun-synchronous orbit, a special type of orbit where the satellite maintains the same position relative to the Sun. Essentially, Biomass passes over the same location on Earth at the same time every day. This orbit is ideal for monitoring changes over time, which is why it is commonly used for several Earth observation satellites. Biomass's launch was successful and greeted with great excitement by those who worked on it for years. When the satellite and rocket fully separated, the team erupted into cheers, celebrating the mission's success. "I've indeed been working for 12 years on that mission and now, at the end of it, I would say the predominant sentiment is that I'm super grateful and humbled that I was allowed to do that job," Michael Fehringer, ESA's Biomass project manager, told Euronews. "I feel relieved... that's all we could ask for, that's the best result we could have," Justin Byrne, Airbus head of science and Mars programmes, shared with us. But while most celebrated, one team remained focused on the mission. Which team was it, and why? Listen to Euronews Tech Talks to find out the answer.
