Contract Lifecycle Management – How to select the right platform?
Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) plays a role, in one way or another, in practically every business. Nowadays, this vital task is supported by CLM software that provides – as its core functionality – a structured repository for signed contracts. A CLM platform can also support many other aspects of managing the contract lifecycle, such as template & clause management, contract drafting, negotiation, internal review and approv- als, signing, obligations tracking or analytics.
The thoughtful implementation of the right CLM platform will result in better efectiveness and efficiency (time-to-contract) of the processes that comprise the contract lifecycle. Digitalizing the creation, negotiation, approval, signing and storage of contracts will lay the foundation for higher compliance and performance of contract-related processes. It will also increase the level of reportable management information.
Lastly, a CLM platform that is configured with the end user in mind will increase everyone’s satisfaction with the contracting process – both within and outside of the organization. Wouldn’t it be great if your new CLM platform would turn your employees and business partners into happier and more engaged people?
