Are you a small business owner?  Do you manage contracts in a small business?  Regardless of the position or size of the small business you are a part of, contracts are integral to your organizational processes.  From client contracts to employee contracts - among many others - small business contract management KPIs can be hindered by contract non-compliance, disorganized pre-award contract processes, missed contract renewal opportunities, and more – without the proper contract management system in place.  Read this blog to learn how to transform your process for streamlined, user-friend, and success-driven small business contract management.
