vision and helped him
attack the problem of
trying to do something
that had never been done
before. The result was
creation of the company’s
flagship product called
Contraxx.
Contraxx is a unique
solution to manage
contracting processes in
enterprise environments
with all the added flexibility
to accommodate numerous
types of legal entities,
operational scenarios,
differentiated process
flows, and so on. Using
Contraxx, an organization
in any business sector can
formulate an agreement
with any other organization
that belongs to any sector.
It is such malleability and
the ample provision to
customize contracts to suit
any requirement that has
made Contraxx a definitive
success among Ecteon’s
customers.
An important factor in
Ecteon’s success has been
the mutual trust developed
between the Ecteon team
and Ecteon’s customers.
Working with its clients’
contracts requires Contraxx
software to handle highly
confidential data and, often,
proprietary strategic plans
of its customers. Ecteon’s
customers are reassured
by the single focus of
Ecteon’s staff and secure
data systems that critical
information is securely
maintained. But in a larger
sense, that trust means
more than just keeping data
secure. Ecteon works with
many customers to turn the
contracting process into a
competitive advantage.
When considering the
many facets of that mutual
trust, Ecteon’s customers
have learned they can trust
Ecteon to care about their
best interests. This culture
of trust and customer care
has resulted in many long
term partnerships with
Ecteon. Today, Ecteon
boasts of an impressive
clientele that spans
industries such as media
& entertainment, retail,
energy, banking, insurance,
healthcare, steel, etc. Some
of its most recognizable
clients include, Blue Shield
of CA, Dick’s Sporting
Goods, World Wrestling
Entertainment (WWE),
Universal Music, Meredith
Entertainment, Kaiser
Permanente to name a few.
