Overall Satisfaction with Emptoris
We used Emptoris contracts product software for one of the world leading healthcare organizations as a solution for their business problems. Maintaining a contract over a period of time has always been a nightmare to companies, Emptoris has addressed many problems on contract management and provides easy operations throughout the contract life cycle and with post life cycle activities. Specifically, Emptoris has addressed the problem of maintaining the contract language in many languages, contract language versions, monitoring and approvals process. It has provided an easy way to create contracts, which helped many end users who are not techies.
- Maintaining contracts as Templates, This feature has helped business to simplify the contract language maintenance and also helped simplify the maintenance of clause related elements that will be used across the product.
- Easy way to create the contracts, Emptoris has provided the easy ways to create the contracts. We dont need any expertise for creating a contract , with interview module any one can do so by answering a simple set of questions.
- Monitoring, This is the best feature I can really count on. The monitoring of the contract is made very easy with the simple configurations and can be monitored in different ways like workflows, email etc.
- MS word as a plugin for editing the language, this is another best feature. Editng of contract language can be done by opening the contract language in a word document . It is a simple process - open, edit, save and close. This saves to Emptoris templates.
- Reporting, Emptoris comes with standard reports which can not always can be fit into our business. This needs to be improved. I hope Emptoris is addressing this issue in their latest releases.
- Though the feature of editing language in MS word is excellent, loading MS word takes time.
- Improved Contract process cycle times, Features like parallel approvals can really help with reducing the process cycle times on the contracts. This led to increased employee efficiency.
- Interview module - contracts creation made it very easy to further business processing.
- Monitoring is a great help and this feature helps customers to worry less about milestone dates for active contracts.
- Reports need improvement and should have some feature to create user defined reports.
There are quite few products for contracts management, there are pro and cons of every product software.However, Emptoris has won the race due to the features and the easy maintenance of contracts compared to Ariba,Oracle contract management product software.
