Middlepost.com - Online Document Manager

Middlepost is a service that offers a full suite of tools for online document sharing, revision, and electronic signing. It is sure to shake up things in the business world, where people will be delighted to give up their faulty fax machines and relentless e-mailing, and take advantage of Middlepost’s services.

The site offers a platform for creating a document and it lets you see reviews as they are made, keeping track of each editor’s input so you know who did what. This is a great way to track the progress of sales, human resources, and operations contracts as well as providing an audit trail for your documents. Comments are shown right on the document and can be filtered by date or person. When comments or revisions are made, all parties that need to respond or provide feedback to the latest changes are notified immediately; this way everybody involved is always in the loop. As the document administrator, you can easily add internal or external collaborators to sign, approve or observe a document. The best features is the online signature capability. The status of the signature is pending until it has been approved by the document creator. Once a document is complete, it is locked and a signature stamp is embedded into the pdf. Middlepost stores all of your documents for a user specified document lifespan (the default is 10 years). After a document has been signed, it cannot be modified or deleted, so all parties involved will be able to access the document exactly as it was when it was signed.
