Ness Content Office set for release

Global IT solutions provider Ness Technologies is set to release the latest version of its media contract management solution, Ness Content Office (NCO), this month, says Reuters.

NCO enables media organisations to automate contracts, rights, and royalty payment management for content assets.

Peter Sutton, MD of Ness UK and head of Ness' media practice in Europe, says NCO will be a software-as-a-service solution based on Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007.

Telecoms expense management solutions provider Veramark Technologies has unveiled VeraSmart 9.0, reports Trading Markets.

The solution includes a contract management module that allows organisations to control, automate, and gain visibility into contract spend.

Tony Mazzullo, president and CEO of Veramark, says: "Telecom managers and IT departments can now quickly analyse contract data and calculate performance metrics to proactively manage vendor relationships and contracts, and access the information required for effective negotiations, in contrast to the typical manual methods of tracking vendor contracts”.

Advantage IQ, a provider of expense management solutions, has released a Web-based reporting system called Performance IQ, states TMCnet.

The reporting system offers users secure Web access to data intelligence including contract management, invoice status, usage and cost trending, dashboards and collaboration tools.
