What is Contract Lifecycle Management?

Contract Management is frequently not a clearly defined business function. The contract lifecycle processes, span very wide functional reach, multiple departments and people and as a result everyone has a different definition of Contract Lifecycle Management. Some think it’s the automation of the request process to eliminate bottlenecks for legal and sales, others think of it as the negotiation, redline and versioning process and many think it’s the post live execution of active contracts. Managing financial terms, delivery of product or service, managing obligations and more.

The fact is its all of the above. The true definition includes any process that contributes, creates or utilizes contract data, is part of contract lifecycle management. As a result, Apttus has defined the contract lifecycle to encompass every from the initial request right through to the settlements of the financial transactions around the agreement. This is a wide definition, but truly encompasses the entire process. We have built our product in a modular format so that depending on a customer definition of contract management, they can automate just that part of the process step or utilize more modules to complete the entire process. You have the flexibility.

Managing the lifecycle of any contract involves automation of the process of engaging with your trading partner, negotiating, signing, storing information and managing obligations associated with the contract.   The function covers multiple business functions that can be managed seamlessly in a single application across the enterprise.
