What is contract lifecycle management?

This infographic shows you the contract lifecycle.  A good contract lifecycle management (CLM) system helps you control every stage across each of your contracts at the click of a mouse. From first draft through to compliance and renewal, it helps you create revenue, drive down costs, speed up sales and stay robustly compliant.

  • Has your organisation ever paid for something not wanted due to missing a negative option on a contract?
