Contracts are the foundation of commerce. To better handle contracts by standardizing and automating the contracting process, ensuring greater control, better supply chain agility and responsiveness and improved execution speed, today’s enterprises are hunting high and low for an easy yet advanced contract management solution.
Why do you need a contract management implementation partner?
While enterprises are spoilt for choice when it comes to Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) software, the most disregarded part of a contract management process is the evaluation and assessment of its implementation partner. However, to attain success, it is very important to choose a well-experienced and right contract management implementation partner. You may want to find an experienced contract management implementation partner that comprehends the product as well as your industry, you have chosen.
Cloud Lifecycle Management (CLM) is not a standalone solution. It integrates with multiple other enterprise software such as ERP, CRM, financials, and procurement. What would you do to ensure that your CLM implementation doesn’t affect other systems, and if it does, who can help you fix it?
As CLM is not just about the product, you need a partner who is your companion for the entire journey. Even for an experienced organization, implementing CLM software can be a challenge. A right understanding of the requirements, implementation planning, installation of the software, configuring and integrating it with the other systems, deploying to users, and managing organizational changes. is required from an experienced implementation partner.
Chief features that you must see in your contract management implementation partner before giving it a thumbs-up:
- Digging out the old documents: Do you have a product but what about your old documents? A lack of existence of active legacy contracts in CLM drives down the rate of adoption and can lead to failure of the implementation. The problem of lack of visibility into the existing contracts cannot be resolved without migrating legacy contracts into the new CLM. Legacy contract migration is a tedious and error-prone process blocking time of strategic resources.

- Experience speaks: Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) is a complex domain. It affects multiple departments, such as legal, procurement, admin, sales, and Finance. A lot of money is riding on the successful execution of agreements and organizations can incur heavy penalties for missing clauses and deadlines. As a result, the implementation partner should have a deep techno-functional knowledge of CLM software, and should have a domain expertise in contracts and legal. Count the experience of the implementation partner with the solid record of accomplishment of efficiently delivering high-quality CLM software cloud solution across enterprise with great customer satisfaction. The vendor should also have the capability to take end-to-end control and ownership of project management (that includes control over schedule, budget and risk issues).
