SAN MATEO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 01/09/13 -- Selectica (NASDAQ: SLTC), provider of software that accelerates sales cycles and streamlines contract processes, today announced that The University of Toledo will be using Selectica Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) to enforce better control over contract processes and improve visibility into versioning.

"We were looking for a standalone contract lifecycle management system that was specifically designed to effectively handle varying levels of contract complexity and give us complete insight into how our contracts morph during negotiations and the general course of their lifecycle," said Jennifer Pastorek, Director of Supply Chain at The University of Toledo. "With Selectica CLM we have the flexibility to phase in our system at our own pace and continue to expand as our needs require."

Selectica Contract Lifecycle Management makes it easy to create contracts, manage them through the review and approval process, and then store them in a repository where companies can organize, locate, and report on them. Using Selectica CLM, The University of Toledo will be able to quickly assess what changes have been made to contracts through advanced redlining capabilities, keep an accurate trail of contracts in their various iterations through versioning controls, easily include up-to-date, approved legal language while editing contracts in Microsoft Word, and receive alerts when action needs to be taken on contracts or when contracts reach a critical milestone.

"It's encouraging to see how educational institutions like the University of Toledo are embracing automated contract management as a way to make business easier and keep contract records accessible, up-to-date, and accurate," said Doug Bell, Selectica Chief Commercial Officer. "We're excited to be adding them to our family of customers, and look forward to helping them accomplish their business goals by streamlining the way they work with contracts."
