  Why Contract Management?  

Most organisations manage their contracts through a decentralised, paper based approach utilising ad hoc spreadsheets or databases.  This exposes the enterprise to significant risk.

In a recent international survey, 81% of companies said that just finding contracts was problematic (up to 1O% of their contracts were lost) and 71% of companies listed contractual risk as a major area of concern and reported they did not have a reliable process in place to alert key parties to contractual risk.

The fact that contracts are paper based makes them inherently difficult to share and manage.

Contracts are the foundation of modern business and have increased in both volume and complexity over the past decade. These agreements dictate the terms, pricing and service levels of organisation’s customer, partner and supplier relationships.

Contracts provide a framework by which a company manages and mitigates risk in these relationships. Lack of process, visibility and control exposes the organisation to breaches in corporate governance requirements and financial loss.
