This framework combines powerful enterprise class security, robust and scalable J2EE platforms and an industry standard database to manage all information necessary in the contract management lifecycle.

I-many ECMF also provides comprehensive support for Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems. Existing integration is comprehensive - I-many ECMF is "Powered by SAP NetWeaver" Certified and SAP ready.

I-many ECMF is Standards-Based

I-many ECMF is built on top of J2EE, the most widely used and respected standard for the deployment of enterprise applications. I-many ECMF was designed for the large enterprise - I-many ECMF provides a consistent web-based user interface which spans all of our application software solutions and modules. Business Units, Finance, Legal, Contracts, Sales, Marketing, Customer Support � all of the users have a consistent user experience. Finally, I-many ECMF is wrapped around a standard Services Oriented Architecture (SOA) that drives flexibility, extensibility and re-usability.

I-many ECMF is Flexible

I-many ECMF is designed to support a tremendous variety of implementations, from a single solution to the entire product suite. Flexibility is a key � the configurability of I-many ECMF allows your implementation team to quickly set up within your enterprise. Integration through our I-many Connectors allows users and your development partners to rapidly integrate I-many ECMF based applications into their enterprise environment. Most important, I-many ECMF allows for easy and fast upgrade � data migration tools make it simple for you to migrate to a new release if it is required.

I-many ECMF is Re-Usable

All of I-many ECMF�s building blocks are designed for re-usability. Re-usability promotes speed of deployment, stability and competitive advantage. All of our component software design ensures that we can rapidly address new challenges by quickly assembling proven and stable technology components.

I-many ECMF is Extensible

The use of a Java API, web services API, multiple adaptors and interface points position I-many ECMF as the industry standard platform for Contract Management for the Enterprise. No platform is more extensible than I-many ECMF.

I-many ECMF is Secure

Enterprise security is a key issue � I-many ECMF fully deploys a simple to administer, yet powerful, Single Sign-on technology module. All of this is tightly integrated to enterprise security models to provide you with powerful tools to administer and protect your valuable data.
