In the age of digital transformation, organizations from a vast array of industries are switching from on-premise to web-based SaaS (software as a service) software deployment to streamline business operations. Those using contract management software are no exception. There are times when on-premise (deployed) contract management solutions are applicable. However, on-premise solutions can leave organizations exposed to contract data loss, contract management software user errors, and the complication of contract lifecycle management process centralization. Conversely, cloud-based contract management software can streamline, unify, and automate legal operations. To that end, here are some perks of switching from an on-premise to a SaaS contract management software solution.
SaaS contract management software can digitally centralize contract lifecycle management on a web-enabled system. A SaaS contract management software system is hosted on a provider's server. Leading SaaS contract management software can:
One major benefit of SaaS contract management software is the ease of system management from an IT perspective. Advanced SaaS contract lifecycle management software solutions - such as CobbleStone Contract Insight® - take some of the major headache away from IT departments. Contract data storage, security measures, contract data backup, disaster recovery, encryption, and more can be facilitated with organizations so that they can focus more time and energy on other IT-related responsibilities and contract management decision-making.
SaaS contract management software keeps CLM software systems up-to-date easily. Advanced contract management software providers can update organizations' web-enabled CLM platforms as new versions and updates are released. As such, contract management teams can quickly get started using the latest contract lifecycle management features and enhancements. This benefit minimizes the need for valuable IT time and resources to shadow installations and updates!

The feature-rich app is available for Apple iOS and Android devices, and allows users to easily fulfill web-enabled contract lifecycle management tasks on a robust but user-friendly interface.
Additionally, trusted SaaS contract management software supports robust yet easily-configurable user permissions for contracts documents, contract data fields, contract management reports and dashboards, and much more.
On-premise (deployed) contract management software solutions can force organizations to rely upon physical contract data backups that are prone to failure. SaaS contract management software can automate contract data backup and disaster recovery because experts from the organization providing contract management software can handle these tasks for clients.
On-premise contract management software can necessitate time-wasting software installation and upkeep on deployed servers. SaaS contract management software can be managed and utilized quickly on familiar browser interfaces - creating a seamless and centralized experience that quickly marries contract management and other business operations thanks to efficient, cloud-based deployment and upkeep.
Once a SaaS contract management software system is installed and set up, organizations can easily manage the comprehensive stages of the contract lifecycle on a cloud-based solution with:
