Tridip, I might suggest an out of the box solution, for purposes of time, accuracy, and its integration with Ariba, the use of Seal Discovery, which will take the manual process out of locating and finding all contracts, including legacy, and bringing them into a single repository which our process will take days, where as the manual process can take much longer. In addition to gathering the contracts, Seal cDiscovery, Migration and Analytics will extract all metadata to allow for all contracts, regardless of file format, be converted into a PDF and separates by the 50+ different templates and now become searchable and provide alerts. Ariba is a partner with Seal. If you want to discuss things in more detail, I can be reached at doug.cook@seal-software.com.
Our software addresses three key challenges with regard to a procurement driven CLM deployment. 1 - the software can locate legacy and current contracts throughout an organizations IT infrastructure. This ensures that the target CLM system is complete with all contracts. 2 - we render all the contracts fully searchable. This improves the search capability in the CLM system of our customers. Including Ariba 3- the software extracts more than 50 key pieces of information automatically from those contracts. This data can then be reviewed and migrated to the Ariba solution. This avoids the fully manual process in place today that often introduces inaccurate and incomplete data and ensures the reporting and alerting are reliable. In our previous exchanges with Inna we felt that Manulife faced some of these challenges but we have been unable to secure any further discussion. I would certainly be very grateful, if you believe further discussion beneficial, an introduction to your relevant colleagues.
