Does Improved Contract Management Make A Difference?

According to recent research, professionals using contract management systems achieve improved productivity, higher levels of compliance and greater responsiveness to change. But adoption rates for such systems have consistently under-performed against analyst forecasts.

International Association for Contract & Commercial Management (IACCM) is conducting research to understand market trends and rationale in the acquisition and use of contract management systems. Participants in our brief survey (which should take no more than 7 minutes to complete) will receive a copy of the consolidated results, showing market trends, sizing, licensing models and priorities for functionality, as well as the relative position of contract management software versus ERP or spend management solutions.

To participate in the survey, please visit https://www.etouches.com/cmmarket

Your individual input will remain confidential and the identity of neither you nor your company will be revealed.

Thank you,

ok, this post is from some time ago, but still ... Docstation is a Belgian made webbased contract management software that is available as a SaaS or ASP product (shared infrastucture) or as an in-house enterprise edition. It is the result of the cooperation between .net IT engineers with years of experience and a team of international legal consultants and corporate solicitors and procurement staff. Above the features you expect from a flexible contract management tool, it can also be used to close legally binding deals or contracts over the internet. All you need is a browser and a digital signature. Docstation, contract management system and certified e-signature engine can give you more information about the contract management system and we can set up a free demo for you if wanted.

best regards,
