West Virginia-based university to deploy iContracts Universal Contract Manager
Bridgewater, NJ – May 20, 2015 – iContracts, a leading provider of solutions for managing corporate contracts, commitments and compliance today announced that Marshall University, located in Huntington, West Virginia, has selected iContracts’ Universal Contract Manager (UCM) to effectively manage contracts, improve visibility, control access and measure performance. Marshall will utilize iContracts UCM to maintain a wide variety of contracts and agreements throughout the University.
Like many universities, Marshall historically managed contracts through a combination of spreadsheets and manual processes. Such an approach lacked fundamental capabilities including a centralized repository, workflow management, integrated reporting, and the ability to track contract elements both within and across departments.
“Marshall University was searching for a contract management system that would allow them to efficiently organize and track activities for all contracts and agreements,” said Christian Barrie, Director of UCM Sales at iContracts. “They selected Universal Contract Manager as the best choice to improve their contract management processes. The software is easy to use and offers a highly scalable platform for universities of all sizes.”
The contract lifecycle management system is cloud-based, requiring no investment in facilities, hardware, software or related costs. iContracts Universal Contract Manager requires minimal assistance from the university’s IT department.
“The need for contract management solutions in the higher education market continues to grow as we engage with institutions of all types and sizes across the country,” added Powell. “Universities are operating more efficiently as a result of our cloud based Universal Contract Manager software. We welcome Marshall University to the iContracts family and look forward to playing a small role in their continued success.”
