#ContractLifecycleManagement (CLM) is not just a tool exclusively for legal teams. In fact, 80% of #ProcurementProfessionals who haven't yet adopted #CLM are now considering its benefits seriously, with nearly half planning to implement the system within the next year.

At Productiv, we highly recommend using CLM because it transforms contract management, ensuring smooth tracking of contracts, amendments, and renewals alongside providing a go-to clause library for quick drafting.
