In spring 2010 Gestion Consulting A/S performed a national survey in Denmark to evaluate the major challenges within contract management. One of the key results from this analysis has shown lack of IT automation to be the biggest challenge.

As a response to this situation Gestion has decided to enter the market for Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) solutions to help organizations in the Nordics benefit from IT automation of their contract management processes. Based upon an evaluation among the leading CLM providers the choice was to partner with Upside Software, a Canadian CLM vendor consistently ranked by major analysts as a worldwide leader in the field.  

Gestion is the first partner to deliver Upside Software solutions in the Nordics.

Gestion Consulting has issued a press release based on the findings of a national survey related to the current level of IT automation within Contract Management. One of the surprising findings in the survey is that many companies don't have IT automation in place for contract management - even bigger and more mature companies only have traditional document management solutions in place for contract management and only very few have solutions in place considered by major analysts to be the leading solutions in the market worldwide.
