Purpose-Built for Contract Performance Management
With AI-driven automation, real-time insights, and a platform built around the post-signature process, PostSig takes the complexity out of managing contracts. Whether you’re ensuring compliance, tracking performance, or minimizing risk, PostSig helps you extract maximum value from your contracts—letting your team focus on what matters most.
The Seven Key Phases of Contract Performance Management (CPM)
Contract Performance Management (CPM) elevates contract management beyond the signing stage, transforming your contracts into strategic business assets. Unlike traditional Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) systems that focus primarily on getting contracts to the finish line, CPM optimizes contracts after they’re signed – ensuring teams meet obligations, mitigate risks, and fully capitalize on opportunities.
Drawing from our research on industry standards, we’ve developed a seven-phase post-signature process emphasizing proactive contract performance management. PostSig is purpose-built for Contract Performance Management. Designed to handle the complexities that arise post-signature, PostSig empowers data-driven teams to extract maximum value from their contracts.
Done right, this approach helps you unlock the full potential of your agreements, converting them from static documents to strategic business assets – giving your business the additional edge it needs to succeed.
