Docusign Accelerates Agreement Management With NVIDIA’s Inference Platform

Docusign

Objective

With over 1.5 million customers globally, Docusign decided to expand into AI-powered agreement management with their Intelligent Agreement Management (IAM) platform and suite of applications. The company turned to NVIDIA’s AI inference platform to accelerate time to market for AI models that could unlock the most important information inside their customers’ documents. With this information, businesses of all kinds can transform agreement data into insights and actions, accelerate contract review cycles, and boost productivity.

Enhancing Customer Experiences With AI

Docusign specializes in helping organizations create, commit to, and manage agreements. To enhance customer experiences, Docusign turned to AI to deliver new digital agreement capabilities. However, they encountered two common challenges: optimizing throughput and managing infrastructure expenses. Their shift to cloud-based infrastructure aligned with their transition to NVIDIA products, facilitated by their relationship with Microsoft Azure.

Overcoming Operational Challenges With NVIDIA Triton Inference Server

Docusign uses NVIDIA Triton Inference Server to accelerate AI model deployment and reduce overall ownership costs. Since deploying the unified AI inference server in production over a year and a half ago, Docusign has expanded its usage across various AI scenarios designed for specific agreement needs and pain points. For example, Docusign helps organizations analyze and extract more meaning from their agreements by unlocking and surfacing data and metadata stuck in agreements like identities of parties, terms and conditions, start and end dates, and more—without tedious, manual work.

“NVIDIA Triton™ makes our life easier. We no longer need to deploy bespoke, framework-specific inference servers for our AI models. We leverage Triton as a unified inference server for all AI frameworks. We also use it to identify the right production scenario to optimize cost and performance-saving engineering efforts.”

Migrating to NVIDIA GPUs on Microsoft Azure for Enhanced Performance

Initially deployed on on-premises CPU servers, Docusign has since migrated their AI models to NVIDIA GPUs running on Microsoft Azure Cloud. This transition, coupled with serving the models using NVIDIA Triton Inference Server, has resulted in a remarkable increase in throughput. The swift adoption of AI services within the digital agreement landscape has spurred Docusign’s AI product teams to delve deeper into inference optimizations. Recently, the company embarked on compiling their models for inference using NVIDIA® TensorRT™ to further reduce latency and is transitioning to more powerful NVIDIA A100 Tensor Core GPUs, available on Azure Cloud.

About Docusign

Docusign brings agreements to life. Over 1.5 million customers and more than a billion people in over 180 countries use Docusign solutions to accelerate the process of doing business and simplify people’s lives.
