opensourceCM ©- Contract Lifecycle Management Solution

opensourceCM is a secured contract management SaaS (software-as-a-service) solution that allows organizations to tap into the portfolio of their contracts.

The software completely transforms how organizations manage cost, risk, and liabilities, as seen in the illustration below that outlines the base capabilities of this application. These include authoring a contract request, negotiating, and controlling workflow and execution.

The opensourceCM API access allows for the import and export of data to various business applications and tools. opensourceCM has the flexibility to adapt to customer business processes while embracing contract management best practices. The solution takes CLM configuration, ease, and speed of implementation to an entirely new level and includes a breath of new functionality.

Why Is This So Important?

Too many CLM solutions require a considerable upfront investment and a long implementation. opensourceCM uses the client business process that works and will replicate it. Each customer uses a separate instance of the opensourceCM database to securely isolate its data from other customers. opensourceCM is currently available in English, Spanish, and Hebrew. It is also utilizing a database that supports 190 international languages. When uploading a text or PDF document in 90 supported languages, opensourceCM indexes it. Then, it can find words, values, phrases, terms of art, or specific legal language within the documents. The searches are hyperlinked to the actual paragraph in each document. This can be accomplished across document data sets comprising tens of thousands of documents.

ADVANCED API LIBRARIES

opensourceCM platform API libraries are tailored to the client's application requirements and allow it to work as a chameleon in the client's environment.

EVENTS AND TASKS WITH NOTIFICATIONS

Track dates and events to keep on top of your commitments and obligations. Every document loaded onto the system can have as many alerts as needed, regardless of whether it is a master agreement contract or an assortment of related supporting documents. All alerts are displayed within the calendar and the contract’s profile. Sync with Microsoft OUTLOOK. Any item on the calendar, such as manually entered tasks and events, can have as many alert reminders as needed. Alert recipients can be selected from a predetermined individual list of company employees or by role. In this way, if there is a change in company positions, alerts can still go to the correct person.

OCR, INDEX, ELASTIC-SEARCH

The opensourceCM platform was designed to cater to a broad scope of users and industries. Advanced OCR in 192 languages and the INDEX cluster can find any word anywhere in the repository; the results take the user directly to the right paragraph. Coupled with metadata search for all fields in the database like dates, values, currency, or a PO from NetSuite financial program.
