CobbleStone Software supports online document editing.

Simply put, document editing and document collaboration can be a nightmare - especially as they apply to contract management. Manual and outdated document editing methods often require lots of moving parts - including various emailed communications about numerous document edits, frantic scrambling for relevant clauses, and convoluted procedures for document version tracking. These processes can easily lead to lost document edits, erroneous clause language, and scattered and misplaced versions. As a result, your organization could unfortunately experience missed contract tasks, delayed contract authoring and contract negotiations, and deleteriously incorrect contract clause language - which could jeopardize your organization's legal standing, reputation, and financial standing. Leave these damaging and antiquated document editing methods in the past in favor of user-friendly online document editing with CobbleStone Software.
