Business challenge
The vast majority of contracts are still executed and recorded on paper, making it difficult to keep pace with business requirements for secure, rapid access to current and accurate contract data.
Impact
- Paper contract management is a time sink. With the average company generating more than 6,000 contracts per year, the time spent searching for contracts adds up to a considerable waste of resources.
- The financial risks of contract errors are significant. Without the ability to search for and search within contracts electronically, it’s nearly impossible to guard against these errors.
- Contracts contain proprietary and private information that needs to be kept confidential. Multiple privacy regulations impose financial penalties in the event of a breach of private customer data, and contracts may be required for litigation discovery.
What if you could
Automating contract management helps you:
- Replace redundant, time-consuming tasks with automated operations and centralized visibility of your entire contract management process.
- Consistently create quality, up-to-date contracts and send out automated renewals.
- Improve your data privacy, security, and compliance capabilities.
