Contract Lifecycle Management

Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) is the process of managing an organization’s contracts, right from initiation to execution, performance, and renewal/expiry.

Contact Lifecycle Management (CLM) software can help organizations with cost savings and efficiency. In addition to that, understanding and automating CLM could reduce an entity’s exposure to risk by minimizing the obligations and enhancing compliance with legal requirements.

Contract Lifecycle Management is undoubtedly a time-consuming process but also a critical activity in every enterprise. Automating major parts of this process could result in loss of important files and data, offer better access, and minimize errors by providing efficient and reliable service to the enterprise.

Each enterprise has its own methods and rules for managing contracts and contract lifecycles, but generally, there are 9 stages of Contract Lifecycle Management.
