Problem Faced by Client
The company always intended to digitize their legacy contracts to better manage their contractual obligations hidden in thousands of contracts. Some of the contracts were hard to trace owing to the large pool of physical documents and they knew that with the passage of time, this problem would only increase.
It was hard for the employees to dig through these files every time for the information required as there were about 500 thousand legacy contracts, some of them even date back to 19th century.
Before approaching Brightleaf, the company had no idea how much revenue is hidden underneath those legacy contracts. There was no clue which track maintenance contract was due and in which its maintenance obligation was expired.
Due to this turmoil, they started looking out for a reliable vendor to help them with this urgent business need. They did an extensive market research and zeroed in on Brightleaf, relying on both Brightleaf’s goodwill in the market and customer references.
