2. What is Contract Management? Contract Management can be defined as an effective administration of contracts between a company and its vendors. Proper Contract Management locks in the negotiated value of your deals while reducing Financial and Legal Risk and improving operational performance. Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) Contract Lifecycle Management is the application of technology to standardize, streamline and automate contract initiation, creation, negotiation, execution through to contract expiration. With regulatory requirements, cost control & risk management high on executive agendas, many enterprises turn to Contract Lifecycle Management for enhanced visibility, control and performance in scope and processes associated with contracts.

3. CLM- ‘7 Fundamental Criteria’ Creation- whilst many companies work from standard contracts, they do have to be created in the first place and they often need to be changed as negotiations progress. Negotiation- of the contracts to ensure that the best possible contract is available to both parties. Adherence-to the contracts and all of its sections and aims. ServiceLevelAgreements-SLA’s and Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s) are set to manage the day-to-day performance of the vendor. ManagingChanges-that may be required as the relationship changes and problems arise. Documenting- any changes that may have been agreed upon. Analyzing- the benefits that accrue or may be available from the contract.

Fortune 1000 companies have [on average] 20,000 to 40,000 contracts. Companies spend approximately 50 basis points of their revenues to manage their contracts, which can be reduced 20-50% using contract management software.- Jamie Friedman, Global Equity Research
