Corridor Company Releases Whitepaper on the Economics of Contract Management
Wakefield, Mass. (PRWEB) July 28, 2015 -- Corridor Company, Inc., the leading provider of contract lifecycle management software powered by the SharePoint platform, this week released Contract Economics, a whitepaper that examines the importance of contract management across various roles within an organization as well as the considerations for and impact of automation. The whitepaper is available for download at Corridor’s website at http://www.corridorcompany.com
The whitepaper dispels the notion that contract management is merely a necessary business and legal expense, of interest only to contract managers and legal personnel. Rather, Contract Economics makes the case that managing contracts across their lifecycle is a necessary investment of time, money and talent that should be made systematically and with a complete understanding of its impact to the business and the users that it serves. The whitepaper identifies areas for savings including the centralized storage and retrieval of contracts in an electronic repository and elimination of redundant review by highly-paid legal staff. More importantly, Contract Economics argues that a contract’s negotiated savings, risk mitigation terms, and vital deadlines for renewals or deliverables are often lost because of lack of investment in a contract management system. The whitepaper uses an ROI calculator, also available from Corridor, to model how savings and risk reduction can be measured financially.
“Every company seeking to improve its contract management processes wants to see the results in economic terms,” says Russ Edelman, CEO of Corridor. “Companies measure what is important to them – savings of time to signature, reduction of legal costs, elimination of missed renewals. In this whitepaper, we have drawn on our experience over hundreds of projects and summarized it for the contract manager, IT professional, or executive who wants to build a business case for improving contract management at their organization.”
Contract Economics examines the following topics:
• Focusing the Right Human Resources on the Right Business Problem
• Leveraging Process and Automation
• Building the Business Case for a Contract Management System
• Transforming Contracts into Opportunities
In each section, the whitepaper includes key observations and provides specific examples. For instance, in “Transforming Contracts into Opportunities” the paper outlines familiar areas of costs saving such as price discounts, price adjustments, and mitigation of delivery failure, describing how electronic control of these terms in a contract management system can help to realize benefits that otherwise might only exist on paper.
“We wanted to go beyond generalizations in order to give readers as many specific cost savings ideas as possible, whether they are currently using a contract management system or considering the implementation of one,” says Jasmin Steely, COO at Corridor.
