Manage Your Contracts in the Cloud
In today’s paperless world, organizations of all sizes still face the challenge of storing and managing contracts efficiently. Locked file cabinets have given way to digital storage, but shared folders often become disorganized and lack the access controls and security businesses need.
Many companies turn to contract management solutions. We did too. But after exploring the options, we found that none offered the right balance of simplicity, security, and flexibility for our needs. So we built our own.
Altova ContractManager is a secure, cloud-based contract management app that’s feature rich, highly-customizable, and affordable for firms of any size. Here’s how it checks all the boxes.

A Solution is Born
One of the biggest benefits of ContractManager is that its specifications were provided by a general counsel who was still frustrated after evaluating several other solutions. Finding a flexible – and affordable – option was proving impossible.
What we landed on when creating ContractManager was a system with all the hallmarks of a traditional contract management system that acts as a centralized contract repository, with templates and built-in reminder mechanisms. At the same time, the software itself is completely customizable, and you don’t have to be a database administrator to make the changes your company needs.

Even without any configuration or customization, Altova ContractManager is a turn-key solution that provides all the tools you need for efficient contract management:
- Centralized contract management – no more contracts lost in folders or shared drives

ContractManager is designed to let you:

- Never miss a contract deadline again
- Find documents and details instantly
- Customize the app to match your firm’s business
Save Time and Avoid Risks
Your company’s ContractManager is always available in the cloud. For end users, data entry is performed via easy-to-navigate containers and forms. Forms and fields include enumerations of allowed values, customizable validation of data and business rules, as well as hints to help you add valid data.
Built in, customizable reminders keep you on track for meeting deadlines and granular permissions ensure secure access to data.

Customize Your ContractManager
How much your ContractManager is customized is up to you. You can get started right away with the default database and containers included in the app. Or, the administrator for your ContractManager account can easily modify the structure of the database, as well as the forms for data entry and viewing, to match the requirements of your organization.
All configurations are done via a straightforward visual interface, and, unlike a classical database system, the admin can even change the hierarchy of containers. What’s more: fields, forms, and even the database structure can be added, changed, or deleted at any time by the administrator – even if records already exist in the database.

The admin interface is also where roles and user privileges can be defined to ensure the right people have access to the appropriate information.
Make it Fun!
Maybe it’s a stretch to put “fun” and contract management in the same sentence – but you can switch up the appearance of your ContractManager interface to match your mood. Both administrators and end users have the option to choose from a variety of included display themes to customize the look of the Altova ContractManager interface.
