Whether contracts management at your organization is an entire department, full-time position, or one of many hats key personnel need to fulfill, it’s importance cannot be understated. Standardizing your contracting processes, collaboration with internal departments, vendors, and clients, staying abreast of legal requirements, handling negotiations, and ongoing monitoring is a large undertaking. With an ever-growing list of suppliers and clients, adequately managing your critical documentation to fulfill these responsibilities (not just the contract files, but the supporting records and correspondence) can quickly become a discipline unto itself.
