The company's recent global launch of Liveness Detection for ID Verification, which uses AI-powered biometric checks to prevent identity spoofing, is a testament to this commitment. The company also plans to expand its functionality with a wallet feature later this year.
Go-to-Market Capabilities and Customer Growth

The company added approximately 37,000 new customers during the quarter, bringing its total customer base to 1.44 million, a 12% increase year over year. This includes the addition of approximately 6,000 direct customers, marking an 18% year-over-year increase.
International Expansion
International expansion remains a key focus for DocuSign.
