Case Study: Meredith Corporation achieves automated, secure contract management with Ecteon’s Contraxx

Meredith Corporation - Customer Case Study

Meredith Corporation’s Local Media Group, led by General Counsel Joshua Pila, faced fragmented, manual contract management—executed contracts lacked a central repository, key dates and autorenewal alerts were often missed, and recurring template variability created compliance gaps. To address these issues Meredith selected Ecteon’s Contraxx contract lifecycle management system to automate contract storage and standardize recurring templates.

Ecteon implemented Contraxx in roughly three months (about four months for full tailored configuration) to support 800–1,200 active contracts, delivering flexible admin controls, user-level access permissions, automated alerts (e.g., 30- and 60-day expirations), document automation, and on‑premise hosting for security. As a result, Meredith stopped contracts from falling through the cracks, can add or remove a business unit in about 15 minutes, and now enjoys reliable, scalable control over contract processes and templates.
