Content and Code and Dolphin Software partner to provide advanced contract management to the Microsoft SharePoint community

United Kingdom.
June 2011

Content and Code and Dolphin Software have today announced a partnership that enables Content and Code to offer Dolphin Contract Manager for SharePoint to its extensive customer base, with target users including general counsel, IT and other functions within large organisations.

Content and Code is one of the UK's leading providers of solutions based on the Microsoft SharePoint platform, while Dolphin Software is providing its contract management solution to customers in the UK, North America, Canada, South Africa, Australia and mainland Europe.

Says Content and Code's Tim Wallis, CEO: "Large organisations today have a raft of contractual and compliance obligations which they struggle to keep track of. SharePoint is a big part of the solution for managing this, but Dolphin Software take things to a new dimension altogether. By combining our SharePoint expertise with Dolphin's world-leading products, organisations can get a definitive, cross-organisational view of their contractual and compliance obligations, and manage them accordingly. This has the potential to save millions in revenue and legal costs."

Says Ronan Lavelle, Dolphin Software's Chief Marketing Officer and Founder "As recent industry research shows, SharePoint is coming of age as a heavyweight enterprise-wide platform able to support mission-critical processes. Simultaneously, organisations are waking up to the fact that better contract management not only reduces risk, but can help prevent wasted costs and even improve profitability and performance. Bringing these two trends together is therefore a logical evolution and with our respective strengths, Content and Code and Dolphin Software are ideally positioned to support the contract management needs of SharePoint users."

Dolphin Contract Manager makes contract management more 'plug and play' for large organisations, by simplifying administration and automating many elements of the contract lifecycle process, from creation through to managing milestones and contractual obligations. Features include integration with ERP, CRM and other systems, the ability to map contracts against Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), and collaboration with external third parties. Dolphin Contract Manager has been adopted by organisations in the USA, Europe, Middle East and Australasia, for instance Etihad Airways, Valve, Inc, and supported by a network of global partners, such as Hildebrandt Baker Robbins.
