Contract Data Management and Contract Analytics

Course overview

Introduction

Organisations hold thousands of contracts, yet many cannot easily answer basic questions: how many contracts do we have, what do they cost, when do they renew, what obligations do we owe and which suppliers carry the most risk? Without good contract data, opportunities for savings are missed, renewals roll over automatically and compliance obligations are overlooked.

This Contract Data Management and Contract Analytics training course shows how to capture, organise and analyse contract information to improve decisions and control. Participants learn how to design a contract data model, build and cleanse contract repositories, extract key terms, track obligations and renewals, analyse spend and risk across the portfolio, use artificial intelligence tools for contract review and build dashboards for management.

The course is practical and tool-neutral, suitable for organisations at any stage of contract data maturity.
