4 Signs It's Time to Walk Away from Your Contract Management Software

Written by Jessica Troppello | 08/13/18

Did We Choose the Wrong Contract Management Software Provider?

Your organization invested in contract management software to effectively manage the contract lifecycle with less overwhelm, more automation, more visibility, and more predictability.  But what if the lackluster results you’re experiencing aren't worth the time and money you put into the implementation?

It’s challenging to conduct the upfront research before the purchase, especially when implementing new technology that will impact organizational processes, communication, and ultimately how you conduct business.

Now you're at a point where your organization and individual departments leverage the current contract software and continue to grow, it’s becoming clearer that when it comes to master contract management for organizational efficiency, compliance, and profitability, your current system is missing the mark.

Ask yourself the following questions to determine if your contract management software is aligned with your organization’s current and future needs:

  1. As a growing organization, does our current software evolve with us?

  2. Does our current software help us track, renew, and manage key dates for any type of contract?

  3. Does our current provider require us to update our software on our provider’s schedule, negatively impacting our day, week, or longer?

  4. Do we experience implementation, service, or technical issues but lack direct access to a responsive and knowledgeable customer technical support?

If you experience any of the four challenges above, or worse, then switching contract management software may be the best option to reach your contract management goals.

Benefits of Switching Contract Management Software

The thought of switching from your current contract management software to a new system may seem excruciating, not to mention expensive and time-consuming.

While all valid concerns, it’s important to acknowledge if the software you’re currently using is not meeting your needs, then money and time are still being wasted within your contract lifecycle.

The right contract management software will administer the features to meet your organization’s current requirements combined with the flexibility to grow while supporting a contact system transition with minimal downtime, headaches, and cost. Take into account that switching contract management software can help your organization meet goals for expansion, compliance, security, collaboration, productivity, and more.
