Contract Insights

As technology evolves and organizations shift to adapt, business process changes should increase productivity rather than hamper it.  Contract managers who primarily utilize manual methods with their team may encounter difficulties in efficiently managing contracts.  Contract mismanagement can decrease productivity, hinder communication regarding task responsibility, and increase avoidable inefficiencies.  As contract administration changes for the future, organizations can attain greater control over their contract management processes by avoiding the following pitfalls of contract mismanagement.

CobbleStone Software’s leading-edge contract management software solution - CobbleStone Contract Insight® - allows users to centralize and navigate the contract lifecycle in one simple, configurable system.  The final stage of contract lifecycle management - contract signatures - can be streamlined with the use of eSignatures.  IntelliSign® - CobbleStone Software's proprietary electronic signature software tool -  significantly expedites and simplifies signing, tracks each step in the process, and can cut send-to-sign time by up to twenty percent.  Users can be notified when a contract is ready for signing through automated workflows and real-time status updates.  A seamless eSignature integration with Adobe Sign makes the process even easier!  Here's how.
