Case Study: NC State University achieves automated, secure contract management with ESM Solutions

NC State University selects ESM for contract management Solution offers increased visibility, enhanced search functions, better security

NC State University, a major public research institution in Raleigh with 32,000 students and a $1.1 billion endowment, selected ESM Solutions to automate and modernize its contract management processes. Facing overflowing filing cabinets, scattered paper contracts and limited visibility into renewals and approvals, NC State implemented ESM Solutions’ ESM Contract Management to integrate and evolve existing workflows.

ESM Solutions delivered a centralized online repository with simplified contract creation, version control, clause library, email-based approvals, DocuSign integration, enhanced search and security, and custom reports and approval workflows. The deployment removed paper storage, improved visibility into vendor communications and renewals, and—according to ESM Solutions—reduced labor and printing costs while making contract review and signing significantly more efficient.
