 Secrets for Maximizing Your Contract Management Process
6 ways to improve consistency, confidence and control
Sponsored by: IBM
Contracts are a critical source of information to an ever-larger
number of employees and business processes, but how do you make them
work better for you? Did you know:
- 81% of Global 2000 companies said finding contracts was a
concern; 75% listed contractual risk as a major area of concern; and
61% had no idea of the interdependencies among their contracts.
(Journal of Contract Management)
- Contract automation could accelerate negotiation cycles by
50%, reduce erroneous payments by 75-90%, and cut operating and
processing costs associated with managing contracts by 10-30%.
(Goldman Sachs)
- Organizations could realize savings that equate to 2% of total
annual costs by eliminating inaccuracies and non-compliance through
improved contract management. (PriceWaterhouseCoopers)
