For most organizations contract negotiation and development is highly departmentalized and costly. The average Fortune 1000 company deals with 20,000 to 40,000 contracts annually, representing huge opportunity for increased risk. Contract creation, approval and maintenance have traditionally been a manual process prone to errors, wasted time and resources, increased operating costs, and missed cash-saving deadline opportunities. More organizations are looking to solutions to manage and standardize contract components, enable an efficient review processes, centralize the storage of contracts, track contractual terms and obligations, and meet compliance requirements.
With strict compliance laws now governing how business financials are reported, understanding the business health and position of a company has never been more important. Contracts between organizations define their economic relationships and form the basis for managing and controlling costs, therefore organizations must be in control of their contracts.
