Our customers

Did you know that installing a mobile phone tower costs more than $100,000? Neither did we, but our consultants relished the chance to learn more about the telecoms industry when Four Business Solutions started working with TIGO.

“We loved to see our staff so much more productive, after just half an hour’s training!”

Why the future of legal operations depends on digital transformation

As legal operations processes and legal technology standards evolve, it is important that organisations adapt accordingly. As contract complexity and contract volume grow, the fact that manual and outdated methods of contract management will no longer suffice is quickly elucidated. As such, organisations working with contracts must embrace digital transformation to increase revenue, decrease contract lifecycle management bottlenecks, and succeed in this ever-changing technological landscape. Read on to learn about the nature of digital transformation – and how digital transformation with contract management software can help organisations to seamlessly navigate the future of legal operations.

Contract management software for media and entertainment

Managing various types of media and entertainment contracts from varying locations with multiple departments and roles can be an arduous process – especially when relying on disparate methods such as emails, wet signatures, shared network drives and cloud-based spreadsheets. Dealing with and tracking a high volume of contracts – from intellectual property contracts to talent agreements, among many others – can be tremendously challenging without a leading contract management software that centralises your contract lifecycle management processes. Read on to learn how a centralised CLM software suite can help you achieve pre-award to post-award entertainment and media contract management success.

What is contract administration?

Contract administration can bring forth a host of challenges. Between establishing a contract administration plan, following through with that plan within a set timeline, tracking contract financials, overseeing the contract lifecycle and planning for risk variables, contract administrators have a lot on their plate – and a lot of room for error, contract risks and bottlenecks. Fortunately, contract management software can help. Here’s how. Contract administration is the planning and execution of contracts. It involves oversight of contract lifecycle management and the tracking of counterparties, contract financials, employees, contractual risk, contract security and access, and contract management KPIs.

Contract Authoring – what you need to know to get started

Contract authoring is one of the most important stages in the life of a contract. An inefficient contract authoring process often relies on decentralised clauses, lacklustre compliance management and version tracking, inadequate line item management and a lack of unification of contracts and subcontracts. These contract management pitfalls can hinder organisations and result in error-prone contracts with missing or misplaced clauses, overlooked key dates and milestones and a disorganised process that stalls the contract lifecycle. Luckily, leading contract management software can provide intelligent contract authoring. Read on to learn how to simplify and modernise the contract authoring process.
