There are a lot of moving parts to any business deal—a lot of places for legal risk to creep in and opportunity to fall through the cracks: Procurement needs to manage and monitor relationships across the supply chain, as well as ensure compliance with spend management policies; Sales wants to speed the cycle to keep business moving monthly, quarterly, and yearly without delays and bottlenecks; HR has to manage a shifting and growing workforce of full-time and contract employees; Operations has ongoing maintenance and replacement requirements for fleets, facilities, and equipment; and, of course, Legal needs to ensure adherence to an expanding and changing list of regulatory and industry rules. All of these areas require fast, easy, and full access to new and existing contracts, something that is only possible with cloud-based contract management software technology integrated across enterprise systems – like ERP and CRM – that leaves no room for anything but efficiency, productivity and compliance.
