your own company email by following below steps:

‍

Step 1:  Request your IT team to Create a new (or use existing email) SMTP email
inbox for use by CMx . For example: contract-management@yourcompany.com . Make
sure your IT team provides you the configuration description values especially
the underlined ones.

‍

Step 2: Add below configurations to  Company Profile → Advanced Configurations

‍

In  Order to configure custom SMTP email - from address instead of using
“noreply@sysintellects.com” , Go to Company Profile → Advanced Configuration and
add below configurations with correct values.

‍

Custom email sender address configuration in CMx Cloud/On Premise

In order to configure custom email sender address, below steps needs to be done
and confirmed by someone from your IT team so that CMx can use your preferred
verified sender email:





(1) Create a new email address inbox, which will be used to send automatic
notification emails from  Contract Management System (CMx). We do not need
access to this email inbox and only you will have access.


Examples:


contracts@yourdomain.com


notifications@yourdomain.com


cmx@yourdomain.com

‍

This shall be a “noreply” kind of email.  for which you can be the “owner” of
this address.





(2) “n order to configure the sender email in CMx instance, there are few steps
that need to be done by your IT or someone who can access to your domain
(yourdomain.com) DNS records:





The steps include verification of the domain, DKIM and SPF settings of the
sender domain which is explained in detail in below URL , so the person should
have access to make additions (adding TXT records) to the existing DNS records.

‍

https://mandrill.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/205582277-How-do-I-add-DNS-records-for-my-sending-domains-





Below is a sample of our current configuration for "noreply@sysintellects.com"
for which you can see that it is verified (all green checks) , DKIM Valid and
SPF Valid.

‍

(3) Once above 2 steps are done please confirm back to us at :
support@sysintellects.com and we will check and make sure it shows green and do
the rest of the configuration.

Browser Settings (Example : Internet Explorer 11) for best user experience

For best user experience with CMx, enabling below browser setting is
recommended:

 * Add your CMx URL to trusted sites in your Browser.
   For example if you are using IE 11 , follow below steps (Note: In different

Electronic Signature

CMx ElectroSign provides inbuilt Signature support, follow the below process to
send documents  for signature:

Note: cmx.electrosign.sendsigneddoc = true  in advanced configuration is
required to send the final signed pdf to multiple recipients

‍

TERMINOLOGIES

Package:  A Signature Package is a set of documents sent to one or more
recipients for electronic signature.

Status: Prior to the signature, the status of a document is either created or
pending. After Signature it becomes Signed or Executed.

‍

ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE SECURITY

By default CMx Electronic/Digital Signature offers below forms of security to
make sure it's validity across different geographies and global laws. In United
States, this process follows the e-sign act :

‍

PRE-SIGNATURE SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS

 1. In addition to sending links in emails for signature, there are many other
    multi-factor authentication mechanisms can be configured with CMx including
    below:
 2. Sending a unique code of very short validation prior to signing to make sure
    the signing code is retrieved from the user email ( whose email is secured
    by a password) and it is applied before signing.
 3. Requesting a unique code from MFA (Multi-factor authentication) mechanisms
    like Google Authenticator prior to signing.
 4. Text or SMS to the users mobile number prior to signature. This depends on
    which part of the world the user is located.
 5. Terms and conditions for each contract type can be customized and displayed
    to the user prior to using CMx electronic signature.(Default Behavior)
 6. Request a unique verification code from email prior to signing. So when
    first time if the user is external,  the external user has to sign up first
    time, create an external user account with CMx providing basic details like
    useremail,password , validation of verification code and 2 security
    questions in case if the user forgets the password. After first time, the
    user can login to the CMx system every time they want to do electronic
    signature and every time when they sign a unique verification code needs to
    be entered after successful login and prior to the signing
    electronically..(Default Behavior)

‍

POST-SIGNATURE SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS

 1. CMx ElectroSign is based on public/private key pair of signatures based on
    PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) which ensures the signed document cannot be
    forged or changed after it is signed.
 2. Signed documents are sent to the emails of relevant parties and kept in safe
    records storage for future reference.

‍

signature process.


All the packages that have already sent for signature by the user are listed in

   Next Button in the document bar and place the Sign Here tab.

‍

unique URL requesting for signature.

Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM)

Contract lifecycle management (CLM) is the process of controlling, coordinating,
and streamlining all stages in the life cycle of a contract. Contract life-cycle
management (CLM) software helps firms create, manage, and achieve maximum value
from business contracts with customers, suppliers, vendors and dealers.and is a
key piece of the business technology agenda.



7 Stages of Contract Life Cycle Management

 * Requesting contract - The contract management process begins by identifying
   contracts and appropriate documents to support the contract’s purpose, where
   user requests for initiating a contract to be executed with contracting
   party.
 * Authoring -  The “authoring” process is about setting up contract templates
   and clause libraries to empower business users and legal users, respectively,
   to create new contracts in a fast but controlled fashion. Writing a contract
   by hand is a time-consuming activity, but through the use of automated
   contract management systems, the process can become quite streamlined.
 * Contract Negotiation -  Upon completion of drafting the contract, employees
   should be able to compare versions of the contract and note any discrepancies
   to reduce negotiation time by half when contract processes are automated and
   streamlined.
 * Approval Process -  The instance in which most bottlenecks in contract
   processes, automated contract management allows users to preemptively strike
   by tailoring approval workflows, including parallel and serial approvals, and
   keep business clipping along at a rapid pace.
 * Contract Execution  - Automated contract execution allows users to control
   and shorten the signature process with eSignature and Manual Signature.
   Contracts executed are effectively managed from the effective date to expiry
   date.
   
 * Auditing & Reporting -  Automated contract management processes utilize a
   full range of valuable audit and reporting tools such as contract compliance
   alerts, audit tracking, on-demand report generation and easy integration with
   third-party reporting tools.
 * Contract Renewal and Amendment -  Using manual contract management methods
   can often result in missed renewal opportunities and business revenue lost.
   By automating contract management processes, a business can quickly identify
   contract renewal candidates, allowing plenty of time to act, and
   automatically create new contract drafts based on the previous contract.
   Automated systems provide a single, effective view of a business relationship
   across multiple contract amendments.

Introduction to Contract Management


INTRODUCTION TO CONTRACT MANAGEMENT



Contract management is the process of managing contract creation, execution and
analysis to maximize operational and financial performance at an organization,
all while reducing financial risk. Organizations encounter an ever-increasing
amount of pressure to reduce costs and improve company performance. Contract
management proves to be a very time-consuming element of business, which
facilitates the need for effective and automated contract management system.

Contract Management Software

While the tradition is normally to manage contracts manually through folder and
file cabinet storage, the practice is riddled with inefficiencies that can only
detract from an organization’s overall efficiency. Integrating with an automated
contract management service will help free up countless man hours and automate
countless processes associated with managing a contract, thus creating more
value for a company.
