How do you make more people responsible for evaluating contracts without slipping into regulatory pressure? How can you save on your costs by better understanding the contracts with your suppliers.

"When the graduate student did his research with us, we found that many contracts were continuing while we thought they had already expired. We made savings on that right away. We're still doing that. I just terminated the lease on a building; if that had continued, you're talking about a cost of three thousand euros a month."

The project manager also mentions the ability to negotiate more sharply with suppliers now that (almost) all contracts are available at headquarters. There, estimated savings run into the tens of thousands of euros. In the end, contract management proves to be a good investment: "Those amounts are out of proportion to the cost of the software."
