    SWIFT Update January 16, 2020


    Update on DocuSign for SWIFT Electronic Signatures

    SWIFT uses DocuSign which allows contract signers, including suppliers, to review and sign contracts through email. Signers do not need to sign into SWIFT to review and sign contracts.
    Currently, agencies are not billed for their DocuSign usage. Agency users received an email in November stating that agencies may be billed for DocuSign usage in the near future. MN.IT will continue to not bill agencies for DocuSign usage in SWIFT through the end of calendar year 2020. These costs will be paid for within SWIFT’s operating budget.

    For DocuSign usage outside of SWIFT, MN.IT will begin to charge agencies for DocuSign usage in February. MNIT is actively developing the processes that will be used to collect agency anticipated usage and invoice for the use of DocuSign. Communications will be sent to agencies as soon as these processes are finalized. Additionally, more communications about DocuSign billing for calendar year 2021 will be provided later in the calendar year.

    To learn more about creating and processing contract documents electronically in SWIFT, view the Training Guides. You can also contact the SWIFT Help Desk to get more information about setting up this process in your agency.
