Managing the complexity of third-party contracts is an on-going challenge – especially for a global enterprise. Can your contract management system manage a third-party contract as well as the ones native to your organization? A recent study by PwC highlights the impact of not capturing the full value of third-party contracts.
"The impact of value leakage on a third-party contract can be from 5% to 15% of the contract's value."
