One of the biggest benefits of an implemented contract management system is the data that will be at your fingertips. In this session, we will talk about some of the key reporting areas to consider in contracts, along with tips and tricks for getting the most out of your Contracts reporting. An Ariba customer will present and discuss their reporting successes. We will have a discussion about what you can do in your organization to improve reporting, and how you can use those reports to drive further success of your contract management system.
