Learn & implement the modern Contracts Management and Contracts Administration strategies that can save your company millions
Contract management is the process of managing contract creation, execution, and analysis to maximize the operational and financial performance of an organization while reducing financial risk. Procurement is inextricably entwined with contract management as it mainly relies on building long-term relationships with suppliers. Procurement and supply chain management professionals are required to manage contracts with the suppliers while they are buying goods/services. This will ensure that the buyer and the seller abide by the rules mentioned in the contract thereby improving business profitability.
