Why You Need Contract Management
Contract management is the process
for managing the acquisition cycle from defining requirements
to planning, budgeting, negotiating and closeout. This critical business
process is also a crucial tool for managing resources, containing
costs and ensuring quality products and customer service. Contract management
can make the acquisition cycle quicker and more efficient.
- Deliverables
are of poor quality or are defective
- Customers
are unhappy
- Contracted
services exceed budget and schedule
- Contracts
are terminated or tied up in claims
- Acquisition
cycles are too long
Sound familiar? You've probably heard
similar contracting horror stories where projects were derailed by
costly court battles or poor contract
administration. Or contracting services were outsourced, due to poor internal
management. With so much at stake, it's no wonder contract managers are
being recognized as pivotal business brokers who are essential to their
organization's bottom-line mission. Yet, as advances are made in contracting,
those involved must work faster, reduce costs, be more effective
and maintain the highest standards of quality. To succeed, they need
greater flexibility, simple and defined processes, quicker turnaround
and the ability to do more with less. Contract management is the
key.
