I have spent the last 2 months looking for the most reliable contract management software and am still unsure as to which way to go. A friend of mine used to work at Portland International Airport – PDX in Portland, OR and he once said they never used that style of software and could not comprehend why I want to purchase this type of software. I tried to explain why I would like to use contract management software by first explaining what the software is used for:

Contract management software lets organisations to easily manage the various types of contracts they engage in. This kind of software can ensure standard contracts which details payments, deliverables, commitments, and compliance terms of the contract.

So that is effectively what contract management software does or at least in my case what I am looking for it to do. There are numerous advantages of using particular contract management software. For example it:

• automatically controls the contract cycle
• increases compliance on both sides
• reduces the risk
• provides clarity

There are further product advantages but these are what matters most to me and generally to other businesses.

Software I am researching includes the following:

• Finetooth
• IntelliContract
• Ketera Contract Management Express
• Memba Context

I really must narrow it down to the most effective software based on features, value, and then on user reviews. Software program reviews are frequently the easiest way to make a good decision before purchasing software, especially this kind of software.

My plan is to do a little more investigating to work out which packages offer the most features and the most value for money. It is difficult seeing as there are quite a lot of contract management software providers in Portland as well as a number of IT companies presenting this as a service.
