Presenter Topic

Self Driving - Contract Management
The discipline of contact management can be tedious. Managing and mapping deliverables to the contract can be time consuming. What if you could create a more automated self driving process for tracking deliverables and integrate it into the overarching project or operational workflow? Often we are in a contract language mindset when we write deliverable descriptions.
