Cloud contract management
Cloud contract management is the process of negotiating, drafting, and managing contracts with cloud service providers. The goal of cloud contract management is to ensure that an organization’s use of cloud services meets its business needs and complies with its legal and regulatory obligations.
Organizations increasingly rely on cloud services to support their business operations. As a result, organizations are signing more contracts with cloud service providers (CSPs). These contracts can be complex and can involve multiple CSPs. Managing these contracts effectively is critical to ensuring that an organization gets the most value from its investment in cloud services. Cloud contract management includes the following activities:
– Negotiating terms and conditions with CSPs
– Drafting contracts that meet the organization’s needs
– Managing changes to contracts during the term of the agreement
– Ensuring compliance with contractual obligations
– Resolving disputes that may arise under the contract
