Contract Management-Related System

A Contract Management-Related System is a business management system that can support contract management tasks.

• Context:
  • Process Input: Contract Documents, Process Definitions, System Configurations
    • Optional Input: Integration Settings, Custom Configurations, User Preferences
  • Process Output: Contract Status, Process Results, System Reports
  • Process Performance Measure: System Efficiency, Process Accuracy, User Satisfaction
  • ...
  • It can (typically) handle Contract Document through document processing system.
  • It can (typically) support Contract Workflow through process management system.
  • It can (typically) manage Contract Lifecycle through lifecycle management system.
  • It can (typically) ensure Contract Compliance through compliance management system.
  • It can (typically) control Contract Access through access control system.
  • ...
  • It can (often) enable Contract Collaboration through collaboration platform.
  • It can (often) facilitate Contract Analysis through analytics system.
  • It can (often) automate Contract Process through automation system.
  • It can (often) track Contract Performance through monitoring system.
  • It can (often) maintain Contract Repository through storage system.
  • ...
  • It can range from being a Simple Contract System to being a Complex Contract System, depending on its system complexity.
  • It can range from being a Standalone Contract System to being an Integrated Contract System, depending on its integration level.
  • It can range from being a Department-Level Contract System to being an Enterprise-Level Contract System, depending on its deployment scope.
  • It can range from being a Manual Contract System to being an Automated Contract System, depending on its automation level.
  • ...
  • It can integrate with Document Management System for document handling.
  • It can connect to Workflow System for process management.
  • It can support Analytics Platform for data analysis.
  • It can interface with Enterprise System for business integration.
  • ...
• Examples:
  • Contract Management Tools, such as:
    • Contract Creation Tools for document generation.
    • Contract Review Tools for document analysis.
    • Contract Storage Tools for document archival.
  • Contract Lifecycle Systems, such as:
