I may be one of the loneliest movie-goers around after I make my confession: I didn't like Avatar.
If you have resumed consciousness after reading that shocking revelation, I'd like to tell you why before you totally write me off as a know-nothing hack.
I didn't like it because I didn't like the story. The artistry and technology were amazing, but the movie was LONG and there was something that irked me for the first two hours that I couldn't quite put my finger. Then at 2 hours and 15 minutes, a memory roared into my head like the thundering of bison across the prairie plains: this movie seemed quite a bit like Dances with Wolves.
I'm not a movie snob, but I do like a good plot with some new twists. This just didn't have that for me (sure, it was in space and it looked way cool, but you could easily write a plot summary and it could be for either movie - read this article from Big Hollywood to see what I mean). But, hey - that doesn't matter in the big picture. Mr. Cameron is not lying awake at night worried about his movie because Stacy J. doesn't like the plot of his record-breaking, mega-blockbuster hit.
Maybe I am being too harsh in my opinion of Avatar - after all, almost everything seems like it's been done before, right? That Kid Rock "All Summer Long" song sounds a lot like "Sweet Home Alabama" and even "Werewolves of London" in some spots. Everything old is new again at some point. Why mess with a tried and true formula?
Contract templates - I bet you were wondering how I was going to get around to contract management - are sort of the same way. They are tried and true, they get the job done, and they help ContractPro® users save time and produce successful contracts for their organizations and customers. If you are not currently working with templates in your contract management system - ContractPro or otherwise - you should really consider the benefits that a template library can bring:
- Contract Templates Reduce Errors: Because certain fields are already pre-defined, they reduces the occurrence of user error
- Contract Templates Save Time: There is less data entry, more confidence, shorter approval time, less time fixing errors
- Contract Templates Improve Workflow: Templates can allow for non-hierarchical approval workflows if necessary
Specifically with the ContractPro solution . . .
- Contract Templates Assist with Visibility: You can more easily control what users can and can't see with templates versus dependence upon sales hierarchy only
- Contract Templates are More Robust: Templates provide a more robust reporting environment and will provide greater benefits with ContractPro 3D Reporting
Contract templates may be used over and over again, but they can be your very own mega-blockbuster hit. Oh - and if you want to talk about artistry and beautiful technology, well, you have to check out the ContractPro solution, of course!
