Key to reducing cycle times

The key to reducing cycle times is standardization, through playbooks, templates, clause libraries and processes, including self-service options for the business and automation of workflows, policies and protocols, approvals, and permissions.

 

Morae will streamline all phases of contract lifecycle management for the in scope contract types (e.g., intake/assignment, drafting/reviewing, etc.) by using the CLM platform and eliminating process exceptions in workflows. In addition, we will leverage complexity matrices to help assign work, prioritization levels for queue management, and cross-training for capacity management.
