Usability

ContractWorks from a DownUnder ViewPoint

Pros

  • E-sign
  • KPI tracking
  • Notifications of key milestones

Cons

  • E-sign: Transferring of signatures would be ideal or the loading of a personal signature into the e-sign field rather than a generic signature being populated.
  • AI: The tagging does not pick up things nor does the software really learn what you want it to. There is a fair bit of manual data entry that has to be done.

Return on Investment

  • It has opened up a lot of time that contract managers/administrators wasted.
  • Added efficiencies and the ability to manage contracts remotely.

Usability

Efficient, user-friendly platform

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our company uses ContractWorks as our contract database. It is extremely user-friendly and allows for easy access and organization across different departments within the company.

Pros

  • User-friendly with training tools and webinars.
  • Responsive customer support.
  • Effective search tool to quickly navigate through documents.

Cons

  • A lot of manual entry needed when utilizing the e-signature function.

  • increased efficiency for contract review across departments

Usability

Give it a spin, you won't regret it.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We implemented CW across the Firm to manage all the agreements excluding employment. We have been able to get a 95% hold of the agreements and, in time, to implement several measures to manage them more efficiently. Results have been excellent, CW is very easy to use and powerful at what it does.

Pros

  • Managing renewals[.]
  • Managing timed fee increases[.]
  • Easy storing and retrieval of contracts[.]
  • Manage roles to determine who sees what. Very granular.
  • [The] signature process is quite powerful, and because it's integrated comes with management.

Cons

  • Could use a more serious lift in communication to match its features. We are a law firm, not a startup.

Return on Investment

  • We have not evaluated the ROI, but considering the cost it has been great.

Usability

User-friendly, flexible, and great support

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We're using ContractWorks to centralize, organize and increase visibility on our supplier contracts. Previously, contracts were housed with various departments. Centralization allows us to see when one supplier provides multiple services across the Enterprise. Tagging Templates allow us to easily create alerts for term and language updates, as well as run reports for specific Ts & Cs.

Pros

  • The product allows you to grow into the features and price points. No additional charges for implementation support. We started with one department, then shared our positive experiences with other departments to gain wider acceptance.
  • Stellar customer support! Great variety with video, email, and phone assistance. Product training and tutorials are also readily available for self-service. The short (live or on-demand) webinars are quick, to the point, and very helpful to continually learn how to better use ContractWorks.
  • The flexible folder structure is super easy to set up and match needs for each department. Easy to navigate and drag & drop to load documents.
  • ContractWorks account managers listen to customers and the organization responds with new and improved features.
  • ContractWorks continues to improve upon and expand platform capabilities

Cons

  • Bulk sending contracts/documents for annual updates and eSignatures
  • I haven't gotten the hang of creating Reports. It's still mostly trial and error for me.

Return on Investment

  • Able to access contracts without challenges when staff changes
  • Milestone alerts allow us to be proactive rather than reactive for renewals
  • Better document version control to keep all Ts & Cs up to date.
  • Ability to 'match' or identify related documents
