Contract management is evolving from the use of an operational contract repository system that manages contracts for audit, legal, and compliance purposes to a strategic investment for improving contract performance and minimizing business risks across an enterprise environment, according to Quadrant Knowledge Solutions' Market Outlook: Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM), 2019-2024, Worldwide.
