It is believed many organisations are not taking advantage of the technology which is available to deal with contracts that are in place with their supply chain and that there is a lack of promoting efficiency and potential cost savings.

This article shines a light on how some organisations are still unable to find an efficient process to handle all the overwhelming data that surround contracts management.
