Automating Contract Management with S/4HANA® for Enterprise Contract Management and AssemblyHistorically, IT solutions for man-aging contracts only dealt with either buy-side contracts or sell-side contracts.

Manag-ing all enterprise contracts in one central repository will enable con-sistent compliance to reduces risks and costs and increase rev-enue and commercial agility at the same time.Ingrid Nikkels, SAP
