In the face of unforeseen circumstances, many organizations allow employees to work from home. Professionals in a variety of industries must be supported with adequate tools to maintain contract management, procurement, and sourcing operations. CobbleStone Software’s Contract Insight® can help your organization to continue with - and further enhance - effective source-to-contract practices. This article will show you how.
#1 Secure Contract Repository
Organizations handling contract management processes remotely need a centralized contract repository for the storage of contracts. Contract Insight offers a secure cloud-based repository. Contract Insight's document repository helps contract management professionals store and organize contracts, retain document version control, quickly locate important legacy contracts, track approval statuses, collaborate, and much more – whether users are in the office or working remotely.
The storage of contracts isn’t merely defined by where an organization safeguards its contract documents. Rather, storage provides organizations with an opportunity to make contracts work for them. When organizations take full advantage of CobbleStone’s secure contract repository to centralize document version control, promote accountability, and improve productivity, they equip themselves with a powerful tool to transcend during turbulent times.

Organizations that leverage Contract Insight for workflow automation can decrease contract lifecycle bottlenecks by prompting the right people with nearly unlimited contract notifications, automated alerts, and task reminders. Intelligent automated workflow can transform contract management processes in or out of the office with features such as contract process management, audit trails, user-defined fields, reporting and analytics tools, and much more.
Automated workflow that helps organizations track every stage of the contract lifecycle enhances negotiations and approval oversight. Organizations can meet key dates and milestones, up to and including contract renewals, thanks to automated alerts. Additionally, audit trail history logged in Contract Insight provides organizations with an up-to-date chronicle of changes made to a contract.
With an intelligent, automated workflow solution that is designed to be supportive and intuitive for a remote work environment, you can be confident that your processes will not suffer when you are working away from the office.
