This paper presents the integration of information management systems to automate contract file creation and enhance collaborative environments. It addresses current challenges in managing contract files, including paper-based processes and disconnected information systems. The proposed electronic solution utilizes a standardized, web-based SharePoint platform, facilitating collaboration and enabling automated record capture throughout the contract lifecycle. Key benefits include a centralized repository, enhanced accessibility, role-based permissions, and integration with existing business systems, laying the foundation for future enhancements in electronic record storage.
