What's new in Dolphin Contract Manager 2.0

Dolphin AutoCapture:
The world's first truly automated legacy contract migration tool that will save your organization hours and lots of money by automatically indexing legacy contract document, extracting contract milestone data and uploading them in to the Dolphin Contract Manager system.

Enhanced workflows:
Dolphin Contract Manager now includes more standard workflows that will automate and control many of your day to day manual contract management tasks, like contract approvals, milestone alerts and renewals management. An advanced workflow module to Dolphin Contract Manager will allow graphical adhoc workflow design and approvals via email.

Expanded contract metadata library:
Dolphin Contract Manager ships with the most comprehensive library of commonly used contract milestone metadata, gathered from research conducted with hundreds of contract management professionals around the world. Dolphin Contract Manager standard metadata fields are classified by contract type, making it easier and quicker to deploy the solution.

Contract request forms:
Legal departments can often get swamped by ad hoc phone calls or emails from business users requesting contracts to be created for them. Dolphin Contract Manager's new Contract Request forms can be completed by end users (ensuring that they capture all of the pertinent information in advance) before the form is sent through a managed workflow process to Legal or the relevant contract management function. Enhanced contract obligation management

Advanced contract obligations management
Dolphin Contract Manager now allows contract obligations to be linked to KPI measurements and to specific contract clauses, as well as handling obligations on your side and the external party's, repeating obligations and allowing obligations to be classified in to specific groupings.

Contract amendment management:
Contract amendments, change requests and SOWs can all be handled with Dolphin Contract Manager's contract amendment management functionality. This allows amendments to exist as formal amendment documents and to be linked to the master contract, or to simply affect key contract milestone data held against the master contract.

Advanced management reporting:
Dolphin Contract Manager includes one of the most advanced management reporting environments available on the market that will bring your previously hidden contract milestone data to life so that it can be tracked and actioned by key staff throughout your organization. Whether you require geospatial charting, line charts, histograms, drill-down reports or ad hoc reporting,
