Globally available contract information
Initial situation
Infront used to manage the contracts with partners, sponsors and media companies with its own software solution, which was mainly used for archiving. There was no central filing system and no process-integrated solution for handling the documents. For this reason, isolutions was commissioned to introduce a “contract management system” based on Microsoft Dynamics 365 and SharePoint. The aim was to standardize the administration of contracts and simplify access to them.
Solution
In cooperation with the customer, isolutions developed a solution based on Microsoft Dynamics 365, SharePoint and the isolutions collaboration suite and introduced it in phases. Documents and information now reach the collaboration suite portal via the CRM system to SharePoint without media discontinuity, where they can be easily accessed and further processed. The contract data is available to all employees at all locations at all times. This simplifies and accelerates work processes. The exchange of information is optimized. It also ensures that it can be traced who has access to which data.
"With the new contract management solution based on Microsoft SharePoint and Dynamics 365, our legal department is more efficient in creating our commercial contracts - from draft to final version. By managing contracts centrally across all areas, we have been able to reduce information loss and redundancies and significantly improve the quality of the contract creation process".
Thomas Oehninger, Director Legal & Tax Affairs, Infront Sports
