Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between contract management systems and e-signature platforms?
E-signature platforms like DocuSign and Adobe Sign focus primarily on digitally signing documents. Contract management systems are broader, covering the entire lifecycle: drafting, negotiation, execution, storage, obligation tracking, and renewal. Leading CLM platforms integrate e-signature but add workflow automation, analytics, and compliance monitoring.
Which contract management system is best for small businesses?
For small businesses with modest budgets, DocuSign and Adobe Sign offer accessible e-signature capabilities starting around £18-25 per month. Concord provides more complete contract management at £40 per month. Larger platforms like Icertis and Agiloft typically require custom pricing and suit enterprises managing hundreds of contracts.
How long does implementation typically take?
E-signature solutions like DocuSign can be operational within days. Modern cloud platforms such as Ironclad and Determination typically take 4-8 weeks for basic setup. Enterprise implementations with Icertis or Agiloft, including custom workflows and integrations, can take 3-6 months depending on complexity and organisational readiness.
