Communication expert Freuds leverages SharePoint to automate and simplify Contract Management System for their legal team Communication expert Freuds leverages SharePoint to automate and simplify Contract Management System for their legal team
Client Business Description
Freuds is a full services communications and public relations firm, founded in 1985 by Chairman Matthew Freud. The company builds campaigns that create tailored and meaningful impact to improve reputation and change the shape of their customers’ businesses. Freuds have been accustomed to using Microsoft SharePoint, but they still had some of their business processes done manually. One of such business processes was implementation of an automated workflow for Contract Management.
To overcome the shortcomings of manual contract management system, Freuds legal team thought of using the power of SharePoint list to automate this business process but they were not sure what the right solution for this was. They approached the Beyond Intranet team of SharePoint experts to help them with a fully automated Contract Management Life Cycle .
Beyond Intranet experts developed a customized workflow which had user access for members of their legal team, project team, and senior management people. Each one of them had their own action areas. An approval and rejection system was developed on the go within user level permissions. Digital signatures of the vendors were captured with the help of integration of DocuSign.
The legal team could add clients, create contracts, submit/assign contracts to the project team, approve/reject the contract, send contract documents to the client for digital signature, and after receiving the signed contracts, they also marked the contracts as finalized.
Challenges
Client came forward to partner with Beyond Intranet (Subsidiary of Beyond Key –www.beyondkey.com) to get a fully organized and automated process of generating and managing business contracts. Freuds had a legal team who is involved in creating, managing and maintaining contracts within the enterprise. Earlier, they had to manually create the contracts and take inputs with the project management team. This was a repetitive task which involved multiple follow-ups. Once the agreement was ready, the legal team had to take approval with senior management and also take digital signatures from the customer.
Results
After using the automated Contract Management software by Beyond Intranet, Freuds legal team and management admitted that they could easily streamline all aspects of the contract life cycle to increase visibility, compliance and contracting velocity, while reducing risk. From contract creation to tracking and compliance, they had an accurate, real-time picture of their organization’s contracting risks and opportunities. These insights saved precious time and resources, and made cash flow management less complicated.
