Page 5: CONTRACT DATA MANAGEMENT FINANCIAL DATA REPORTS TO … › files › Conferences › 2017 US... · Contract Management Systems ‐2 •Over time, more digital contract management

History ‐ Data Management• My first work with contracts was during my 2nd/3rd Year law 

school, law clerk for General Counsel NASA Research Center.• Contracts were contained in PAPER FORMAT.• NO computers, NO software, everything was typed or written 

or forms to be filled in…ALL IN PAPER FORMAT.• Paper was placed in manilla folders, FILED in file cabinets.• Cabinets were labled & stored in SEPARATE building.• Research was laborious & extremely time consuming.

Page 6: CONTRACT DATA MANAGEMENT FINANCIAL DATA REPORTS TO … › files › Conferences › 2017 US... · Contract Management Systems ‐2 •Over time, more digital contract management

History ‐ Continued ‐ 2• Following law school, I became General Counsel for an insurance company. 

• For every insured, there was at minimum an insurance application, issued policy/contract, & more than likely a rider or two, with ALL such documents set forth in PAPER FORMAT.

• NO computers, NO software, as everything was hand written or typed in on application forms to be filled in, with form policies then issued with terms specific to the insured, for that type of insurance.

Page 7: CONTRACT DATA MANAGEMENT FINANCIAL DATA REPORTS TO … › files › Conferences › 2017 US... · Contract Management Systems ‐2 •Over time, more digital contract management

History ‐ Continued ‐ 3• ALL insurance docs were in PAPER FORMAT, FILED in manilla 

folders, FILED in file cabinets.• Cabinets were labled & stored offsite.• Research was laborious & extremely time consuming.• Typically, department managers (legal departments) created, 

updated, maintained paper lists, spreadsheets of their respective organization/departments key, critical agreements, with a separate list of key contract terms prepared & kept for such agreements on their lists.

• NO contract data software, everything was hand written or typed, all in PAPER FORMAT.

Page 8: CONTRACT DATA MANAGEMENT FINANCIAL DATA REPORTS TO … › files › Conferences › 2017 US... · Contract Management Systems ‐2 •Over time, more digital contract management

History ‐ Continued ‐ 4• Eventually large frame computers came into existence, but their 

primary use was not for storing contract data or data management, but more for financial applications & word processing. 

• During this time frame, most all US industries, companies, (contract) managers, legal departments primarily relied upon PAPER documents being physically stored in metal (some fireproof for important, original documents) &/or wood cabinets.

• Again, managers/legal departments continued to create, update, maintain paper lists/spreadsheets of their respective organization’s key/critical agreements, with a separate list of key contract terms prepared & kept for such agreements on their list, as there was still NO contract data software

Page 9: CONTRACT DATA MANAGEMENT FINANCIAL DATA REPORTS TO … › files › Conferences › 2017 US... · Contract Management Systems ‐2 •Over time, more digital contract management

History ‐ Continued ‐ 5• Unfortunately, contract data management performed in this 

manner, also led to a litany of mistakes, such as contracts being misfiled, misplaced, incorrectly being re‐filed, or lost.

• Typically most company managers had their “own” style of filing contracts & when mangement personnel left a company, usually their mental based knowledge went out the door with them if their process/procedures were not written down.

• All of these things led to inefficiencies, excess work, missed dates for renewal, unintended termination of agreements, missed opportunities to re‐negotiate key terms, lapse in contract rights or options, audit/report nightmares, etc. 

Page 10: CONTRACT DATA MANAGEMENT FINANCIAL DATA REPORTS TO … › files › Conferences › 2017 US... · Contract Management Systems ‐2 •Over time, more digital contract management

History ‐ Continued ‐ 6• Thus, these types of issues/problems resulted in unintended 

costs & lost opportunities to companies. • Over time, (i) the burden of contract management, (ii) the 

risks associated with paper recordation & (iii) contracts being filed in cabinets, (iv) along with the costs incurred due to ineffective & inefficient management, (v) as well as risks incurred through such contract data management, (vi) along with the ever expanding development of computer technology, led to the development of contract management software & companies transitioning to electronic‐digitized contract management systems.

History ‐ Continued ‐ 7• Before diving into current contract management software systems & their benefits, I want to first discuss a typical ATM ISO’s spectrum of Contracts & what Contract Data Points I recommend you should track & manage.

• The ATM Industry has been built on extensive contractual realtionships developed over time between a multitude of parties.
