Master Service Agreements: Why Vendor Relationship Managers Need Electronic Signatures

Streamlining MSA Processes for Vendor Relationship Managers

As a Vendor Relationship Manager, you understand that Master Service Agreements establish the foundation for all vendor interactions. These comprehensive contracts require multiple approvals and signatures, often causing delays in procurement processes.
