For publishers of CRM, ERP, or any other business application, there is a strategic question to be asked: should they develop their own document generation functionality or rely on a specialised, independent solution?

In this digital age, one might think that documents – whether paper or electronic – have lost their importance. In fact, the opposite is true. Documents remain an essential link in customer relations, both for acquiring new prospects and for building long-term loyalty among existing customers. They are often the only point of contact between the company and the customer.

Contracts are fundamental pillars in the management of a business. They formalise commitments, frame relationships, reduce risks and provide strategic visibility. However, in all businesses, from the smallest to the largest, contract drafting is an essential but often underestimated step. It affects compliance, operational efficiency, customer relations and risk management.
