Smooth and collaborative contract negotiation

Definition: Contract negotiation

Contractual negotiation consists of sending the model or draft contract to the contracting party to collect its requests for modifications or adaptations.

This phase is usually carried out by email exchange in which the contractors attach the contract in Word format with apparent changes to the document (track changes) and comments.

Collaborative negotiation on the new contract management solutions erase all the imperfections and difficulties that companies may encounter during the negotiation phase (lack of visibility on the progress of the negotiation, complexity of identifying the right legal contact to negotiate a given type of contract, contractual documents stored locally, unsecured and dispersed in separate files, loss of versions etc.)

The final objective is obviously for the parties to agree on a clean version of the contract at the end of the negotiation.
