Abstract
The globalization of business through mergers and acquisitions requires the interoperation of established heterogeneous systems within the enterprise. Supply-chain management and collaboration between companies likewise necessitate interoperation between enterprise systems. Companies must break down system silos to increase utilization rates. Automated contract management can mitigate the risks of interoperating systems.
