BRENTWOOD, Tenn., Jan. 18 / - Ecteon Inc., the premier contract management software provider, today announced that its Contraxx solution delivers on all the recommendations outlined in the Aberdeen Group's new benchmark report, "Sell-Side Contract Management: Opportunity-to-Order Optimization."
"Ecteon's Contraxx solution enables organizations to centralize, standardize and systemize the entire contract lifecycle, from creation through expiration or renewal," explains Lonnie Blackwood, President of Ecteon. "The Aberdeen report offers recommendations that enterprises should consider to improve their sell-side order cycle. Our software provides a comprehensive solution to address these specific objectives that do face many of our prospective customers."
The Aberdeen research recommendations include: 1) Move away from paper- based and largely-manual contracting methods; 2) Review contract management policies and procedures; align them with technology solutions; 3) Track commitments and obligations to customers as stated in the contracts by making contract data available to relevant stakeholders; 4) Integrate the contract management system with the financial and transactional systems; and 5) Utilize reporting and analytical capabilities regularly to measure contract performance.
"A well-run contract compliance program can capture revenue, improve relationships, reduce risk, and limit liability exposure," notes Andrew Bartolini, Vice President of Global Supply Management research at Aberdeen. "Our research shows that Best-in-Class enterprises are more likely to automate the sales contract process and achieve significantly higher compliance rates as a result."
A complimentary copy of the new Aberdeen report is available through Ecteon at www.ecteon.com.
