Infor Releases Cloud-Based Contract Management Solution
On September 12, Infor, the New York City-based provider of enterprise resource planning (ERP) and supply chain management solutions for the cloud, announced the release of a cloud-based contract management solution. Dubbed Infor Contract Lifecycle Management, the solution is being offered as part of the Infor Customer Experience Suite and is said to boost a customer’s contract visibility and supplier risk management efforts. Pre-contract execution, users leverage an “intuitive” tool, complete with version control, to create contracts, rather than reuse live contracts and language that may not fully apply to a given trading partner relationship.
Post execution, Infor CLM allows users to flag and track specific terms, conditions, clauses, and keywords, which can help them monitor and analyze risk factors over time or as needed. Users can also set up alerts that ping them on important dates or milestones. Infor CLM also features an analytics-pricing engine, which enables users to automatically compare prices, costs, and margins to help them understand whether they are realizing identified cost savings via the contract. The cloud-based tool also allows users to compare contracts that are similar to each other to help users understand differences in terms, conditions, pricing, clauses, and other qualities.
