I-many licenses contract management suite to Sanofi-Aventis

The licensing agreement and associated maintenance and support contract include products from across the suite of I-many’s ContractSphere including I-many Contract Analytics, Contract Manager, Cars, Government Pricing, and Cars Business Intelligence.

The combination of these products are expected to put Sanofi-Aventis Canada in the position to manage the entire contracting process from pre-deal analytics through offer development, negotiation, execution, adjudication, post-deal analysis and renewal. Sanofi-Aventis Canada has also contracted with I-many to perform the professional service installation.

Sanofi-Aventis Canada is said to be the first company to license I-many Contract Analytics, the newest product in I-many’s ContractSphere suite. I-many’s Contract Manager will help to ensure process and pricing policy compliance across the company and enhance audit trail capability throughout the life-cycle of every contract.

John Rade, president and CEO of I-many, said: “Securing Sanofi-Aventis Canada as a customer for ContractSphere in such a rollercoaster economy demonstrates the strength of I-many’s product offering and proves there is sufficient return on investment for businesses to justify investment even in today’s environment if they utilize our contract management solutions.”
