36 contract management systems for law departments, courtesy of David Munn

David Munn spoke at the ACC Annual Meeting, Oct. 30, 2007. His materials listed 36 programs for contract management, ranging from relatively inexpensive programs, through matter management systems that include contract management features, to full-blown CLM systems. He points out that most of these vendors have extensive information on their web sites. I haven’t confirmed any of the sites, and during the intervening 16 months or so several of the sites and facts have probably changed.

  12. ERP System Vendors (e.g., Oracle, SAP) – ERP systems are generally not seen as being able to provide the full range of CLM functions, although this will probably change over time. Most of the CLM system vendors, however, claim they can integrate with existing ERP systems.
