Icertis Reimagines Sourcing with Launch of ICM Sourcing Application

BELLEVUE, Wash. - Sept. 19, 2017 - PRLog -- Icertis (https://www.icertis.com/), the leading provider of enterprise contract management in the cloud, today announced the introduction of the ICM Sourcing application, expanding the company's growing list of business applications built on the Icertis Contract Management (ICM) platform (https://www.icertis.com/contract-lifecycle-management-platform/specialized-solutions/). The pace of business continues to accelerate and leading companies are re-imagining their foundation of commerce. With the launch of the ICM Sourcing app, forward thinking companies now have a foundational contracting platform and sourcing application for the next decade.

The Icertis approach

In today's high velocity, rapidly changing, complex sourcing environment, procurement organizations must deliver value far beyond cost savings. Reimagining the contract management foundation and placing it in the center of the sourcing process is the key to that transformation – contracts are the single source of truth for the obligations, entitlements and risks in supplier relationships. This approach enables procurement departments to optimize the entire source-to-contract process, ensuring compliance, minimizing risk, improving collaboration in addition to increasing savings.

"To thrive in an era of increasing business velocity, changing regulatory requirements and supply chain risks, procurement organizations must create strategic agility in their sourcing process," said Samir Bodas, Co-founder and CEO at Icertis. "The ICM Sourcing app leverages the enterprise-wide supplier relationships enshrined in contracts, and applies the ICM platform's cognitive analytics, compliance framework, and risk management capabilities to proactively monitor contractual commitments and mitigate risks."

ICM Sourcing Application Addresses Every Stage of the Sourcing Lifecycle

The ICM Sourcing application extends the value of the ICM platform, enabling procurement departments to improve collaboration and compliance at every stage of the sourcing lifecycle. The solution has the following differentiated capabilities:

·         Integrated Risk and Compliance – Get full visibility into supplier's risk profile and ensure compliance throughout the procurement process.
