EDMONTON, ALBERTA, CANADA— Upside Software Inc. CEO, Ashif Mawji, was recently featured in an article in Computer Business Review Online (CBR). The article, titled “Reading the Fine Print”, examines the mounting issues companies face in their daily management of contracts and how contract management software helps address these complexities and simplifies the contract lifecycle by providing greater visibility into financial risk and compliance.
