ELKEM selects Contiki ECM

The software, Contiki Enterprise Contract Management Suite, will in addition provide all of Elkem’s business units visibility into contracts, frame agreements and terms across the corporation through a light web interface. This will simplify and motivate de-centralised buying units throughout the corporation to adhere to corporate policies and purchasing agreements - thus increasing overall cost effectiveness. Also, maintenance personnel and project managers will have instant access to agreements, critical milestones and guarantees, helping them to ensure compliance with supplier’s commitments, explains Christian Hjorth-Johansen, Sales and Marketing Manager at CMA Contiki.

  

Kjell Djupesland, Director of Elkem Supply Management states; “The real job of Procurement and Supply Management starts when contract is signed. A company that does not make contractual commitments available for the staff cannot expect loyal and professional contract implementation. We expect Contiki ECM 6 to help procurement, sourcing, maintenance, project and technical managers understanding and appreciating the value of Contract Management and support them in the process of implementing contractual commitments, hence creating value for Elkem.”
