ETS will use OpenSourceCM to gain visibility and immediate access to thousands of contracts. In addition, the application will serve as a control platform for the management of contract terms and obligations. "We were impressed by OpenSource's service and product flexibility," said Patricia Beckman, Executive Director at ETS. "The company was attentive to our needs, configured a fully functional evaluation version of the system for us, and supported our testing group through a lengthy evaluation process. Their attitude, in addition to the robustness and flexibility of the system, convinced us that this was the best overall offering for us."
