Challenges

What Makes Effective Contract Management Challenging

Decentralized Storage

Contracts, attachments, and versions are stored in different systems. As a result, there is no central contract file and no clear overview of which version is the authoritative one.

Missed Deadlines

Notice periods and renewal options are not monitored centrally. Missing deadlines can lead to unintended contract renewals.

Lack of Jurisdiction

Contractual obligations are not consistently translated into specific tasks. As a result, responsibilities, deadlines, and implementation status remain unclear.

Unaudited Content

Service levels, agreed-upon prices, and invoices are rarely reconciled systematically. Discrepancies and potential credit adjustments go undetected.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About Contract Management

Wie gelangen bestehende Verträge in das Vertragsmanagement?

Sie laden einzelne Verträge hoch oder importieren größere Vertragsbestände zusammen mit einer Excel-Liste. Die KI schlägt relevante Eckdaten, Fristen und Pflichten mit Fundstelle vor. Ihr Team prüft und bestätigt die Angaben vor der Übernahme.

Welche Fristen und Pflichten werden erkannt?

Das Vertragsmanagement erfasst unter anderem Laufzeiten, Kündigungsfristen, Verlängerungen sowie vertragliche Berichts-, Nachweis- und Meldepflichten. Die Angaben bleiben mit der jeweiligen Fundstelle im Vertrag verknüpft.

Wie werden zuständige Personen an Fristen erinnert?

Fristen werden als Aufgaben und per E-Mail in mehreren Stufen angekündigt. Bei ausbleibender Bearbeitung kann eine Eskalation erfolgen. Zusätzlich lassen sich Fristen in Outlook oder andere Kalender übernehmen.

Wie unterscheiden sich Vertragsmanagement und Dokumentenprüfungen?

Das Vertragsmanagement verwaltet Verträge über den gesamten Lebenszyklus, einschließlich Versionen, Fristen, Pflichten, Leistungen und Kosten. Dokumentenprüfungen prüft Vertragsinhalte anhand Ihrer Playbooks und unterstützt die Überarbeitung. Beide Module arbeiten am selben Vertrag.

Sind meine Vertragsdaten nach ISO 27001 geschützt?
