What is the difference between document management and contract management?
When researching potential solutions for managing and storing contracts what would be the difference between document and contract management solutions? Is there an added benefit to one versus the other?
This is a good question that we hear from prospects all the time. The difference between document management and a true contract management solution really comes down to having a data-centric approach to managing your contracts vs. a document-centric one. Document management systems have a single folder structure (i.e. document-centric) whereas a true contract lifecycle management system uses a relational structure that’s based on the foundational information (i.e. data-centric) describing your contracts and documents. This may sound trivial but it’s actually a critical factor when it comes to mitigating contract risk while enabling automation and a more effective CLM strategy.
