Presentation: Contract Management - How it Interfaces with Purchasing, Sales and Service
Speaker(s): David Judd, Oracle Corporation

Contracts play a critical role in all businesses. In fact, contracts govern most business transactions. Companies rely on contracts to define specific products or services that they sell and buy. Also contracts control terms and conditions governing price, shipment, payment, quality, and other mutual obligations of the involved parties

In an organization, contract administrators and legal personnel may negotiate and author a vast number of complex contracts each year. And contract compliance is a Sarbanes-Oxley Issue. Maintaining corporate control on the terms for each contract can be a time consuming and daunting task. Oracle Contracts simplifies this process.

Oracle's contract management solution includes Oracle Sales Contracts, Oracle Procurement Contracts, Oracle Service Contracts, and Oracle Project Contracts. Oracle Contracts provides the common infrastructure components that other contracts modules need. There will be a presentation of Daily Business Intelligence for Contracts.
