Selectica Launches Online Contract Management Knowledge Center
SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Selectica (NASDAQ:SLTC), a leading provider of configuration, sales execution and contract life-cycle management solutions, today launched its Contract Life- Cycle Management Knowledge Center. The online center serves as rich repository of essential resources for contract management professionals and features analyst reports, white papers, blog and other third-party insights into the key issues driving the contract management industry.
The diverse set of resources on Selectica's Contract Life-Cycle Management Knowledge Center addresses key issues related to managing both procurement and sales contracts, including best practices, challenges and strategies for instituting the proper procedures, policies and technology that will enable optimal contract management throughout the lifecycle.
"Regulatory issues, globalization, economics and a host of other factors are forcing organizations of all types to rethink how they manage their contracts in order to improve operational efficiencies, mitigate risk and ensure fiscal accountability," said Terry Nicholson, COO of Contract Management Solutions, Selectica. "Our Knowledge Center offers a one-stop resource for professionals looking for information critical to their contract management success."
The Knowledge Center blog, Sopkos's Dotted Line, is authored by Stephen Sopko, CEO of Cedar Key Ventures, an Austin-based contract consulting company. Sopko is a veteran of the contract management industry with nearly 20 years experience, on both the procurement and sales sides of the profession. He draws from his experience working for Fortune 50, Fortune 500, the federal government, startups and international contracting organizations to provide unique perspectives and proven strategies for contract management excellence.
"It is exciting to be working with a software company that is committed both to educating the marketplace it serves, as well as learning from the challenges faced by contracts practitioners," said Sopko. "Too many 'best practices' out there today attempt to take solutions from one narrow discipline, and use them to address challenges across a global profession. I look forward to our forum offering a platform for real contracts professionals to discuss scenarios and creative, practical solutions."
