WorkPoint Contract Management brings structure, oversight and governance to managing contracts on SharePoint. No separate application, no customization, but a proven standard solution within your Microsoft 365 environment.
Contracts, attachments and communications are centrally recorded per contract. As a result, it is always clear which agreements apply, who is responsible and when action is required.
Important moments such as renewals, expiration dates and evaluations are actively monitored. This prevents tacit renewals, financial risks and compliance issues.
Users work in the familiar Microsoft 365 environment. There will be no separate contract system, which accelerates adoption and keeps management manageable.
WorkPoint Contract Management is a standard contract management solution on top of SharePoint within Microsoft 365. The solution is designed for organizations that want to get a grip on their contracts and contract processes and find that standard SharePoint does not offer enough guidance to do so. Working with fixed contract structures, metadata and processes creates one consistent way of working for all contracts, regardless of type, department or responsible party.
The solution supports the entire contract lifecycle: from request and creation to negotiation, management, renewal and termination. Contract documents, attachments, emails and agreements are automatically recorded in the right context. In this way, organizations maintain an overview, risks and obligations become transparent, and governance and compliance are demonstrably secured within their own Microsoft 365 tenant.
"In practice, we were running into the limits of our document management. AFAS is the source system for us and we wanted to keep it that way, but for document management it fell short. What started as a basis for structured document management grew into a widely supported digital working environment with smart integrations, clear processes, secure data flows and a uniform way of working together. And when a customer or client file is created in AFAS, the corresponding structure is automatically set up in SharePoint, including all relevant customer and file information."

No. WorkPoint Contract Management is not a separate contract system, but works entirely on top of SharePoint within Microsoft 365. Contract administrators and other stakeholders continue to work in familiar Microsoft applications, while WorkPoint adds structure, logic and governance. This creates one central way of working without additional systems or duplicate storage.
Standard SharePoint provides storage but little guidance for contract management. WorkPoint adds fixed structures, mandatory metadata, lifecycle management and deadline monitoring. This keeps contracts clear, manageable and compliant, even as the number of contracts and departments involved grow.
WorkPoint Contract Management is a standard solution with extensive configuration capabilities. Setup is tailored to contract types, roles and processes without custom development. Customization is possible, but requires additional inventory and management and is unnecessary in most cases.

I4-YOU is a specialist in contract and document management within Microsoft 365. As an experienced WorkPoint partner, we help organizations to not only set up contract management on SharePoint technically, but above all to make it manageable and reliable. In doing so, we look beyond functionality alone: contract structure, governance, compliance and daily use are key.
Our approach is pragmatic and phased. We start by understanding your contract processes, responsibilities and information needs. On that basis, we set up WorkPoint Contract Management according to proven best practices, tailored to contract types and organizational context. No unnecessary customization, but a solid setup that grows with the organization.
During implementation, we first establish a strong foundation so that contract managers can quickly gain an overview and grip. From that basis, there is room to expand step by step with additional functionality, reports or governance. This keeps contract management clear and future-proof.
