Financiera de Desarrollo Nacional improves risk management, compliance and operational efficiency with OpenText Extended ECM for SAP Solutions

The drafting of supplier contracts, with multiple versions, many individuals and departments being involved, numerous reviews and approvals etc., used to take anything up to six months to complete. With OpenText we have now reduced this to typically just five days, a massive efficiency gain.
