Overview

June 16

Many government organizations launched tools during the pandemic to help process contracts electronically. Now, as agencies pivot from 100 percent remote to splitting time between work-from-home and in-office, organizations need a solution to manage the entire life cycle of contracts from beginning to end in a hybrid environment where people can be anywhere.

Cloud-based contract management tools enable better, smarter contracting no matter where employees may be. These technologies transform the way agencies prepare, sign, act on and manage contracts. And moving to paperless processes is a vital part of a more sustainable and responsible future for any organization.
