Texas University to deploy iContracts Universal Contract Manager
Raritan, NJ – June 11, 2014 – iContracts, a leading provider of solutions for managing corporate contracts, commitments and compliance today announced that Stephen F. Austin State University (SFA), located in Nacogdoches, Texas, has selected iContracts’ Universal Contract Manager (UCM) to effectively manage contracts, improve visibility, control access and measure performance. SFA will utilize iContracts UCM to maintain a wide variety of contracts and agreements throughout the University.
Like many universities, Stephen F. Austin 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 as dictated by the nature and status of the University’s active agreements.
“Stephen F. Austin was searching for a contract management system that was easy to use, comprehensive, and above all, scalable,” said Diana Boubel, Director of Procurement and Inventory and HUB Coordinator for SFA. “Less than 60 days after engaging with iContracts, we were fully implemented, trained, and realizing the benefits of a best in class cloud based contract management solution. We look forward to a long and mutually beneficial relationship with iContracts for years to come.”
iContracts Universal Contract Manager requires minimal assistance from the university’s IT department. The contract lifecycle management system is cloud-based, requiring no investment in facilities, hardware, software or related costs.
Leigh Powell, Chief Executive Officer of iContracts commented, “iContracts is pleased to welcome another leading university to our rapidly growing family of clients. Stephen F. Austin is recognized for their commitment to not just education, but preparing students to live in and make their contributions to the human community. We are proud of our new affiliation with a leader such as SFA and look forward to playing a small part in their continued success.”
