Exploit the critical business information within your contracts
Deal Manager is an enhanced
user interface to the DealBuilder product set which exploits the
unique metadata and transaction management functions of DealBuilder.Server.
It is an entirely web-based application that provides a customizable
workspace in which users can create, manage and analyze documents,
throughout their lifecycle.
The workspace is entirely configurable and provides users with functions
to create, edit, redraft, approve, analyze and report on documents
and the business information that is held within them.
Deal Manager is designed to integrate easily with other information
and content management systems. It can be deployed in its own right
as an independent application. Alternatively it can be used as an
application design template within another host system.
Business Integrity has broad experience in integrating its products in this way. Projects successfully undertaken
include all the leading document and content management systems,
case management and workflow applications, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) tools and Customer
Relationship Management systems.
