Kartik Krishnamurthy — Area Vice President, Asia, DocuSign — examines the bottom line on eSignatures, and shares five stats which every CFO should know.
In the face of growing cybersecurity threats and data regulations, CFOs must ensure that the systems that manage their data are compliant and secure from breaches.
In an adverse business environment, CFOs everywhere need hard numbers and strategic data to prove the value of their spending and ensure every dollar supports company goals.
Facing the threat of recession, volatile supply chains and rising costs, today’s executives are tasked with cutting expenses and expanding revenue — all while making decisions that position companies for long-term growth.
With every new investment, CFOs have to answer essential questions:
- How much will it cost compared with other options?
- How will it affect our bottom line?
- When will we see returns?
- How will it make our process more efficient?
- How will it ease risk management and regulatory compliance?
By creating a simpler, faster and more secure contract and agreement process, e-signature helps CFOs cut costs, increase income, safeguard confidential data and support overall flexibility — and it has the numbers to prove it.

Smokey tailpipe emissions may soon be a thing of the past. Hwee Yng Yeo at Keysight Technologies shares how the heavy transport vehicle market is catching up with the electric car market to lower their contribution to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
Private sedans and light-duty trucks lead the vehicle electrification race, leaving much upside opportunity for heavy transport fleets such as trucks and buses to catch up.
In the United States, data from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency reveals that while overall greenhouse gas emissions from passenger cars and light-duty trucks declined over the past decade, medium and heavy-duty trucks and buses still chugged out well over 200 teragrams of C02 over the same period.
In Europe, the transportation industry must urgently decarbonise its trucks and buses to achieve the Paris Agreement target of keeping global warming below 2°C.

Although these two heavy road vehicles represent only 2% of vehicles on the road, they emit a quarter of all transport-related greenhouse gases.

Leica has just unveiled globally its fourth and latest dedicated black-and-white shooter – the M11 Monochrom rangefinder. Retail price in Singapore: S$13,470.
Thanks to Leica Singapore, I had the opportunity last week to try out the M11 Monochrom for myself prior to today’s global unveiling. I am partial to black-and-white photography and have always loved the toning of Leica cameras. The M11 Monochrom did not disappoint, churning out Magnum-like shots ready for Pullitzer prize-winning stories.
The 4th generation of monochrome sensor Leica cameras offers maximum artistic freedom and flexibility in composing images with nothing but light and shadow.
With its BSI CMOS sensor specially designed for black-and-white photography and its enormous sensitivity range of ISO 125 to 200,000, the Leica M11 Monochrom boasts images with the finest detail, extremely high contrast and exceptional, natural sharpness.
The new Leica M11 Monochrom (right) looks identical to its sibling, the Leica M11. The former however has an all black paint finish and does not show the bright red Leica logo on the front of the camera.
It also offers the option of switching between 60, 36 and 18 MP at any time through pixel binning.
The camera has a built-in 256GB internal memory and a USB-C port.
