Icertis Contract Intelligence for Higher Education

Decentralized, siloed contract management processes can hold Higher Education back

Colleges and universities face reduced operating budgets and increased pressure to modernize outdated technology while operating across multiple divisions and departments and managing a high volume of contracts.

With a centralized, single source of truth for all contracts, Icertis contract management for Higher Education empowers institutions with contract consistency, visibility, and control across divisions and departments.
