MPG Governance Module

Contract Governance & Obligation Management Software

Go beyond contract storage — manage obligations, clauses, renewals, and compliance with a governance-grade contract lifecycle.

What It Is

The Contract Management module brings governance discipline to contract lifecycle management. Beyond storing contract documents, MPG tracks the obligations, clauses, SLAs, renewals, and compliance requirements embedded in each contract — ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.

Contracts are connected to the third parties they govern, the risks they create, the controls they require, and the policies they support. This creates a contract governance framework where every agreement has clear ownership, tracked obligations, and monitored compliance.

The module includes a clause library, template management, contract requests, and obligation tracking — with automated alerts for upcoming renewals, expiring terms, and unfulfilled obligations.

Who It Is For

Legal teams managing contract lifecycle and compliance
Procurement teams managing vendor agreements and SLAs
Compliance officers tracking contractual obligations
Risk managers assessing contract-related risk
Operations teams monitoring SLA compliance
Vendor managers tracking contract performance and renewals

Problems It Solves

✕Contracts stored in shared drives with no obligation tracking
✕Renewals and expirations missed due to lack of automated alerts
✕Obligations buried in contract text with no structured tracking
✕No connection between contracts, vendors, risks, and controls
✕SLA compliance not monitored against contract terms
✕No standard clause library leading to inconsistent contract terms

How MPG Solves Them

MPG extracts and structures obligations from contracts, tracking each obligation with an owner, deadline, and compliance status. Automated alerts notify owners before obligations are due, renewals are approaching, or SLA terms are at risk.

Contracts are connected to the third parties they govern, the risks they introduce, and the controls they require. This creates a governance-grade contract framework where every agreement is actively managed, not just stored.

A clause library and template management system ensures consistency across contracts, while contract request workflows streamline the creation and approval of new agreements.

Reporting Studio & Governance AI

Every record in this module can be reported on

The Reporting Studio turns what your workspace records into governed figures — compiled from your own records, approved before anything leaves the workspace, and answered with citations.

Governed measures

Each figure is compiled from the module's own records and carries the instant it was read at and what it leaves out.

Approval before release

A report pack leaves the workspace only once the approval chain its report type requires has decided on it.

Answers you can check

The assistant points to the records each answer rests on, and it never approves, publishes, releases or deletes anything.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I track obligations within contracts?

Yes. MPG extracts and structures obligations from contracts, assigning each obligation an owner, deadline, and compliance status. Automated alerts notify owners before obligations are due.

Does MPG provide renewal alerts?

Yes. MPG tracks contract renewal and expiration dates and sends automated alerts to contract owners well in advance, ensuring renewals are never missed.

Can I create a clause library?

Yes. MPG includes a clause library where you can store and organize standard contract clauses. Clauses can be reused across contracts to ensure consistency and reduce legal review time.

How are contracts connected to vendors and risks?

Every contract is linked to the third party it governs, the risks it introduces, and the controls it requires. This creates a governance-grade contract framework where every agreement is actively managed within your broader governance ecosystem.

Can I track SLA compliance?

Yes. SLA terms are extracted from contracts and tracked through KPI monitoring. Breaches trigger alerts and can be linked to findings and remediation actions.
