Contracts play a vital role in business in all business relationships between a company and its customers, suppliers, and partners. In many companies, however, contract management remains under-automated, inefficient, and a source of preventable errors.
New corporate governance and internal control regulations also reinforce executives' degree of legal responsibility and their need to have reliable and auditable contract management processes.
Therefore, a company's ability to exert greater control over contract management processes has a direct and positive impact on a company's financial performance and risk exposure.
