Where Are Your Contracts?

Avoid confusion, delays and loss of control on your contracts with an easy to implement, cost effective web-based contract automation solution.  A few basic questions to ask when evaluating a solution:

•    Can you easily, search, retrieve and track contracts in each stage of processing?

•    Does it provide a check in and check out feature and stores each version in one central location?

•    Are there multiple levels of security depending on user access needed?

•    How does it avoid duplication of the contracts when edits are made?

•    Does it allow you to customize the workflow to relate specifically with your organization, including task assigning capabilities?
