Contract Insights

Contract managers, contract administration professionals, and corporate legal teams struggle to show clear contract management ROI to executive leadership within their organizations.  This struggle to show value is not isolated to one contract management challenge, but rather, it is a conglomeration of issues with manual contract management systems, lack of communication, and misaligned goals.  For organizations managing hundreds or thousands of contracts each year, the bottom line can be hit from multiple angles from increased costs to decreased revenue to lost time to missed opportunities to increased risk.  This article analyzes the root causes of missed ROI and presents a strategy to get the most value out of contracts.

What is GSA?

Discover GSA and its many benefits to government organizations. 

When investing in contract management software, discuss with your chosen provider the option of purchasing through the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA).  GSA provides eligible agencies (often government) with the option to purchase products and services, such as contract management software, through a schedule, which is an approved and maintained contract through GSA.  Using this method to purchase contract management software eliminates the need for negotiations and makes the purchasing process much more efficient for all parties involved.
