Effacts B.V. Moves

The ever increasing demand for corporate software solutions by Effacts, and our continued devotion to high-quality customer service and support finally came to the point where our old office was no longer sufficient.

Therefore as of february 10th Effacts B.V. has relocated its office to the Jollemanhof 152 in Amsterdam.

Our new location offers better accessibility by car or public transportation. Furthermore it offers the possibility to host user and administrator workshops for our customers.

We are looking foward to welcome you to our new office.

Chief Legal Officers and EFFACTS

The annual survey of the Association of Corporate Counsel confirms the growing demand for efficient information management tools:

“The most pressing issue facing CLOs today, according to the survey, is keeping apprised of company activities that may have legal implications. Reducing outside legal costs and managing the increasing workload with tighter budgets and fewer resources, closely follows as an added concern.”

User Meeting: Contract Management

Thursday September 22nd we organized the ‘user meeting: Contract Mangement’. Goal of this meeting was to share our knowledge on how an organization could optimize the proces of contract management and keeping control of the system.

Most important to begin with is to analyse the different types and the ammount of contracts in your company, before deciding which contracts you should or should not register. Afterwards, you need to capture the policy of contract management based on your goal. The biggest problem is the lack of this policy. Once you have decided what to manage in your database, we can assist you with setting up of your own contract management system.

Interested in more information about the ins and out of Contract Management? Sign up now for the next meeting on November 3rd with our Service Desk: +31 020 330 16 82 or support@effacts.com.
