As a business owner or IT professional, your calendar is most likely inundated with appointments, meetings, and due dates. Remembering your everyday ‘to do’ list is a tough job, so remembering to do things that only come around once or twice a year, like renewing your IT support and maintenance contracts, can be an even more difficult task. It could also become very costly if overlooked or forgotten.

If you’re like most people, you have trouble remembering simple, everyday details. What did you eat for lunch last Monday? You’re probably scratching your head. Even important dates can easily be forgotten, for example, the pile of bills you receive in the mail each month. It’s surprising you remember to pay them on time when they’re all due on different days, right? You probably want to avoid having your electricity shut off because you forgot when the bill was due. Fortunately, you can designate one day out of the month to knock out those bills to avoid this scenario. Similarly, when the server your organization relies on to conduct day-to-day business fails, there’s nothing worse than realizing your support contract expired because you forgot to renew it. That’s why contract management is invaluable to businesses.
