Keep track of your con­tracts. Get re­min­ders for dead­lines like ter­mi­na­ti­on or re­ne­wal op­ti­ons in a mul­ti-sta­ge pro­cess. Give every em­ployee di­gi­tal ac­cess to exact­ly tho­se con­tracts that are re­le­vant to him or her. Crea­te new con­tracts on the ba­sis of text mo­du­les — al­ways in the cur­rent re­leased version.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs) about Contract Management

The Con­tract Ma­nage­ment is ba­sed on the d.3 ar­chi­ve with the gra­nu­lar aut­ho­riz­a­ti­on con­cepts avail­ab­le the­re. The con­tracts can the­re­fo­re only be view­ed or edi­ted by users with ap­pro­pria­te authorization.
The con­tract ma­nage­ment so­lu­ti­on sup­ports dead­line sche­mes. A dead­line sche­ma spe­ci­fies when an em­ployee is no­ti­fied, how of­ten and which em­ployee is no­ti­fied when dead­lines are due. Re­min­ders are con­fi­gu­red du­ring sys­tem set­up. Va­rious dead­line re­min­ders can be sent per contract.
The trans­fer of con­tracts can take place via a scan­ning line, via mass data im­port or via in­di­vi­du­al files. When scan­ning of exis­ting con­tracts, they are trans­fer­red to the d.3 ar­chi­ve; a task for con­tract clas­si­fi­ca­ti­on can be sent di­rect­ly to an employee.
Di­gi­tal con­tract ma­nage­ment di­gi­ti­zes and au­to­ma­tes pro­ces­ses throughout the con­tract cy­cle — pa­per­less, lo­ca­ti­on-in­de­pen­dent and at any time. Chan­ces are good that you have been in­vol­ved in such pro­ces­ses be­fo­re. For ex­amp­le, if you bought so­me­thing and the sel­ler pro­ces­sed the purcha­se through an iPad in­s­tead of a tra­di­tio­nal cash re­gis­ter, that’s a di­gi­tal con­tract pro­cess. Si­mi­lar­ly, if you’­ve sent a con­tract on­line or si­gned it di­gi­tal­ly in­s­tead of prin­ting it out and si­gning it by hand, you’­re al­rea­dy par­ti­ci­pa­ting in a di­gi­tal con­tract pro­cess. In both ca­ses, the di­gi­tal ap­proach of­fers tan­gi­ble be­ne­fits: It makes the pro­cess fas­ter, ea­sier and more con­ve­ni­ent. Di­gi­tal con­tract ma­nage­ment co­vers the en­t­i­re con­tract pro­cess — be­fo­re and af­ter si­gning. With the con­tract ma­nage­ment of d.velop Life Sci­en­ces, you give each em­ployee di­gi­tal ac­cess to exact­ly tho­se con­tracts that are re­le­vant to him.
A collec­tion of de­fi­ni­ti­ons is ma­na­ged in the com­pa­ny glos­sa­ry, which is in­te­gra­ted in the con­tract ma­nage­ment. The ent­ries are map­ped in the d.3 ar­chi­ve and are sub­ject to re­vi­si­on-pro­of ar­chi­ving. No ad­di­tio­nal ap­p­li­ca­ti­on like a text edi­tor is re­qui­red. The aut­ho­ri­zed users have read ac­cess to the com­pa­ny glos­sa­ry. The re­spon­si­ble ad­mi­nis­tra­tor can crea­te, chan­ge and re­mo­ve glos­sa­ry entries.
Re­cur­ring con­tract ele­ments such as a se­vera­bi­li­ty clau­se can be ma­na­ged in con­tract ma­nage­ment in several lan­guages and dif­fe­ren­tia­ted by de­part­ment and ca­te­go­ry. They can be che­cked by a le­gal ex­pert af­ter crea­ti­on and then stored as a ‘re­leased text mo­du­le’. The text mo­du­les are re­pre­sen­ted in the d.3 ar­chi­ve and are sub­ject to au­dit-com­pli­ant archiving.

Wi­thout in­tel­li­gent soft­ware, good con­tract ma­nage­ment and pro­per con­tract ad­mi­nis­tra­ti­on is al­most im­pos­si­ble. Once you have ex­cee­ded a cer­tain com­pa­ny size, con­tract ma­nage­ment soft­ware be­co­mes in­dis­pensable. When it co­mes to in­ves­ting in con­tract ma­nage­ment soft­ware, the num­ber of cur­rent con­tracts also plays a role.

The sa­vings po­ten­ti­al is enor­mous. This re­sults from the fact that con­tract ma­nage­ment soft­ware ta­kes many tasks off your hands, sa­ving time that can be used for core busi­ness. The con­tract ma­nage­ment soft­ware re­minds you of im­portant due dates and can­cel­la­ti­on pe­ri­ods. Con­tract ma­nage­ment soft­ware does this bet­ter and more re­li­ab­ly than any note­book, be­cau­se every due date and dead­line is al­ways lin­ked to con­cre­te con­trac­tu­al ob­li­ga­ti­ons — the soft­ware makes the­se re­la­ti­ons­hips clear at all times.
Which ty­pes of con­tracts are most ap­pro­pria­te for using con­tract ma­nage­ment software?

  • Ren­tal agreements
  • Main­ten­an­ce contracts
  • Ser­vice contracts
  • Coope­ra­ti­on agree­ments with other companies
  • Purcha­se contracts
  • Sup­port contracts
  • Lea­sing agreements
Get­ting star­ted with di­gi­tiz­a­ti­on is very re­war­ding for com­pa­nies. Di­gi­tal con­tract ma­nage­ment saves you time and mo­ney, which has a po­si­ti­ve im­pact on the bot­tom line. It also im­pro­ves the ma­nage­ment of con­tracts. Just think of the con­ve­ni­en­ce of elec­tro­nic si­gna­tures ver­sus the cum­ber­so­me pro­cess from prin­ting to si­gning to re­tur­ning con­tracts by mail or fax. Mo­reo­ver, di­gi­tal con­tract pro­ces­ses are ea­sier to track. This hel­ps to avoid mistakes.
