SUMMARY:Contract Management ... made easy!
DESCRIPTION:I’ve been in the procurement profession for almost 25 years\, and I used the experience to develop a contract management platform called OneView… And for the past few years\, our solution’s been helping organizations by eliminating the need for their procurement teams to do any data entry when uploading a contract or creating summaries\, and their employees spend seconds instead of hours finding contracts and tracking renewals. \nBut the world’s changed drastically in the past few months\, making it difficult for organizations to spend money or make long-term commitments. \nSo to ease the burden on organizations that have been impacted by the pandemic\, we just launched new Lite\, Pro and Plus versions of OneView starting at USD $39/user per month.  Valid from April 1\, 2020 to June 30th 2020. \nIf you believe OneView can benefit to your organization\, as it’s doing for others\, I invite you to check out our profile\, visit our new website and sign up for a Free 7-day trial \nYou can be set up and running on a fully functional contract management platform within a few hours… But the time you’ll save and the insights you’ll gain from your contracts… Will give you exponentially more in cost savings… \nAll the best and stay safe\, Mohammed
