Avoid the “Black Hole” at All Costs: Revive Your Ailing Contract Management Process

Contracts are the lifeblood of all business agreements – whether it’s buying or selling products, services or consulting agreements. As part of this process, someone must create a contract, negotiate the terms and ultimately store it where it can be accessed by other team members.

Unfortunately, most professionals do not adhere to a consistent process – which can lead to unnecessary company risk exposure and unenforced or unmet contract terms. While there are a variety of methods to manage contracts, companies of all sizes can benefit by centralizing their contract data and taking steps toward standardizing the way contracts are processed, approved and managed.

Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) is an integrated system that applies business rules to manage an enterprise’s contracts on a worldwide basis. A CLM system typically manages the request through the entire contract lifecycle, including negotiation, execution and storage in a central repository. CLM systems allow people within an organization to access, analyze and act on contract-related information to improve efficiency, consistency, reporting and control.
