M-Files for Contract Lifecycle Management

A comprehensive contract management solution with intelligent automation from drafting through approval to archival.

Accelerate your contract lifecycle and speed up your business performance.

Short Overview

  • Make it faster and easier for employees to find, access and edit contracts

M-Files allows organizations to maintain, track and view contracts through any related information, such as the customer account object in a company’s CRM system. By tagging documents with contextual information, employees can view information related to contracts, such as client, project, property, employee, etc. Contracts can be searched, viewed and managed on any device.

  • Automate and streamline contract review and approval processes

Create business rules and processes that route tasks between people and technology. Workflow automation increases the level of consistency of the actual work performed throughout the entire lifecycle stage of a document, resulting in a faster, more accurate experience for your business.

Automated and trackable workflows eliminate bottlenecks and reduce the length of drafting, negotiation and approval cycles, assuring revenue comes in faster.

  • Ensure contract milestones are not missed

Standardized templates of contracts and a consistent process reduce exposure to risk. M-Files ensures that key contract milestones are monitored and acted upon according to contract terms and due dates by automatically notifying contract managers when a contract is close to expiration, a milestone has been reached or when an obligation needs to be met.
