Our mission is to stay ahead of market trends by continuously revamping and adding new features to our Zycus Contract Management Software and other platforms. By embracing these ongoing changes, Zycus enables its users and customers to achieve positive ROI while navigating the complexities of today’s dynamic market.
In our latest update to the Contract Management module, we have introduced several enhancements to improve flexibility, shorten contract cycle times, and enhance stakeholder collaboration. These updates are designed to increase efficiency and provide better cross-module visibility, empowering procurement professionals to manage contracts with greater ease. Below, we delve into these updates and how they can streamline contract management for your organization.
Enhancements in Zycus Contract Management Module
1. Augmented Control Over Contracts with Version History
One of the major updates in this release focuses on providing enhanced control over contracts, especially those with older versions. Managing different versions of contracts can be a challenge, particularly when multiple stakeholders are involved.
With this enhancement, stakeholders management are now empowered with permission-based contract check-ins. Before a contract is finalized, a confirmation message is generated for documents with multiple version histories. This feature ensures that all relevant stakeholders have reviewed the contract before it is signed, reducing the likelihood of errors and miscommunication.
This update provides users with better control over contracts, particularly when dealing with complex version histories, making the overall contract lifecycle more efficient and transparent.
2. Reducing Contract Lifecycle Time with Templates and Document Attachments
Efficiency is key in contract management, and with this update, Zycus Contract Management now offers users the ability to directly attach contract templates or documents while initiating the contracting process. This feature, integrated within the Zycus Request Management module, simplifies the creation and submission of contracts.
By utilizing pre-approved templates, procurement process can significantly reduce the time it takes to draft and review contracts, shortening the overall contract lifecycle. This update ensures that contract managers can focus on strategic tasks rather than getting bogged down by administrative details.
3. Strengthened Collaboration with Joint Contract Execution
Collaboration is a critical element in successful contract management. With our latest update, Zycus has enhanced collaboration by allowing multiple stakeholders to participate in the contract authoring and execution process.
This feature not only improves visibility across departments but also minimizes the number of iterations required to finalize contracts. By enabling additional stakeholders to collaborate during the contract execution phase, Zycus reduces the time required for revisions and approvals, speeding up the overall process.
Furthermore, multiple authors can now control various aspects of contracting, allowing for smoother workflow and reducing the likelihood of bottlenecks. This update ensures that contract execution is a streamlined, collaborative effort, benefiting all parties involved.
4. Bringing Zycus Contract Management to Salesforce
In today’s digital world, integration between platforms is essential for a seamless business experience. Zycus is proud to announce that its enterprise Contract Management Software is now available on the Salesforce AppExchange, in the form of Zycus CLM Connect.
With this integration, businesses that utilize Salesforce can now draft, author, collaborate, negotiate, sign, track, and store contracts directly from their CRM system. This eliminates the need to switch between different software applications, making the contract management process more efficient and user-friendly.
When a contract is created in Salesforce, everything from approvals based on workflow rules, access to a secure repository of legally approved templates and clauses, to AI-powered notifications, is managed entirely within the Zycus Contract Management system.
Once a contract is executed, all relevant contract information flows back into Salesforce, keeping sales teams updated and ensuring that the entire process remains transparent. With extensive reporting capabilities, sales teams can stay informed about the status of contracts from within Salesforce, enhancing their ability to engage proactively with stakeholders.
This integration boosts stakeholder interaction capabilities within the Salesforce Cloud, providing organizations with a powerful tool for managing contracts across different teams.
