Managing contracts from requests to renewals can prove difficult when relying on primarily local processes. Without effective remote contract management tools, you can find yourself running into inefficient contract management processes that limit workplace flexibility and create contract workflow bottlenecks. Read on to learn how leading contract management software can support remote contract management success.
What is Remote Contract Management?
Remote contract management digitally unifies contract lifecycle management processes from contract requests through renewals in a centralized, web-enabled system for stakeholders to engage with from virtually anywhere with suitable WiFi. Effective remote contract management usually involves leading CLM software to unify people, processes, and technology for powerful source-to-contract management success that can include eSourcing and eProcurement tools.
Remote Contract Tracking Oversight from Requests to Renewals
Tracking contracts with an approach involving emails, spreadsheets, shared drives, and other manual processes can make remote contract management nearly impossible. Manually tracking contracts can place an organization at risk for compliance issues, contract failure, and financial instability – to name a few. While spreadsheets can organize contracts, they cannot alert contract managers of vital opportunities and warnings, including contract version tracking alerts and opportunity alerts in upcoming contract renewals – which are crucial to post-award contract management success. These methods can undermine the contract tracking process with unclear audit trails, continually changing timelines, and other delays caused by disparate CLM processes - inconducive for remote contract management success.
Thankfully, leading web-enabled contract management software can equip you with the mission-critical tools to track contracts effectively and efficiently. A centralized SaaS (Software as a Service) contract management software solution provides advanced contract tracking with a secure contract repository, approved clause libraries and templates, detailed audit trails, performance insights, and improved collaboration. You can manage SaaS contracts throughout the entire lifecycle with the help of task alerts and notifications that can be configured via email - especially with the help of an MS Outlook PC Helper-App.
Robust web-enabled contract tracking features can empower you to track contract compliance, obligations, and renewals with robust and timely oversight. Moreover, with the help of flow-down subcontract document management, you can track contract document numbers and ancillary flow-down sub-contracts. Rather than simply utilizing a contract repository system, you can leverage proven end-to-end SaaS contract lifecycle management processes that assist with each stage of the contract lifecycle and equip the collaboration of necessary stakeholders from virtually anywhere with suitable WiFi.
Web-Enabled Contract Redlining for Speedy Remote Negotiations
Contract redlining software centralizes the contract negotiation process of edits and communications in a secure, web-enabled location. Robust contract redlining software within a leading CLM software suite offers advanced artificial intelligence with machine learning to support contract language updates – particularly clauses, natural language processing, concurrent editing, commenting tools, rules-based editing permissions, alerts, email notifications, configurable workflows, and more.
Contract Redlining Workflows & Centralized Communications
Future-minded contract redlining software allows for workflow configurations – including clause ownership assignments, task escalations, and approval routing. To ensure the right stakeholders remain abreast of language changes for review, they can receive notifications of language modifications of contract areas for which they are responsible. Such changes can trigger notifications to clause owners for review.
Rather than work with disparate contract versions, stakeholders can work concurrently within a centralized, web-enabled location – including MS Office 365 and Google Workspace integrations. Stakeholders can receive configured email notifications of comments and applied changes to review within the centralized contract redlining location. A highly secure contract redlining tool offered by a CLM software provider – that is SOC 1, SOC 2, and HITRUST compliant – excludes external or extraneous counterparties from other areas of your contract software, virtually ensuring data protection.
