I don't know if it accounts for all 7000, but sales, legal, and support would account for quite a bit. Docusign is definitely a company that needs rock solid legal and support teams.

You're completely right. And you forgot to include international issues, if that's part of their business model. But 7,000.

Also, at this point I feel they could coast a bit on the sales. They are the standard in the USA, period. IMHO the service is suitably viral and must sell itself in large part. (I could be way off on the last assumption.)

They want sales involved for any purchase over £2k per annum, and I suspect it's because actually a lot of their revenue comes from the sort of order sizes and software integrations you only achieve from having account managers and support staff asking a lot of questions about their business process and software platforms, and then fielding questions from legal.
