Our Philosophy

GMS has grown because of its clients. It is more of a partnership than a standard vendor-customer relationship. Over the years both GMS and our clients have benefitted from a close working relationship. Many new features and capabilities that are incorporated into CONTRACT ADVANTAGE™ have come as a result of our client comments, suggestions and requests. 

Built on Partnership, Driven by Feedback

At GMS, our success comes from working closely with our clients—not just serving them. We see every client relationship as a true partnership. Over time, this collaboration has helped both GMS and our clients grow together.

Many of the features in Contract Advantage™ were inspired by real client feedback. When we hear similar ideas from different clients, we know we’re on the right track—and we build solutions that meet broader needs.

We combine ideas from different industries and perspectives to create powerful, easy-to-use tools. We also offer specialized modules designed for specific fields like:

  • 📞 Telecom
  • 🏥 Hospitals
  • 🏛️ Government
  • 🧬 Life Sciences
  • ⚖️ Legal Services
  • 🎬 Entertainment
  • 🚓 Law Enforcement
  • 🛠️ Professional Services
  • 🏢 Real Estate
  •        Education

These tailored solutions help teams work smarter and faster, with tools built just for them.

Our Products

The Contract Advantage (CA) product line is the result of over 25 years of client implementations and development efforts.  CA offers three core product versions: WebEssentials, WebPro, and WebElite, each providing increasing levels of contract management sophistication and capabilities.

Clients can seamlessly upgrade from the basic product to higher-level versions, recognizing that one size does not fit all.

The Contract Advantage versions are built around the same code base, ensuring compatibility across the product line for small, mid-size, and large organizations.  The CA systems support flexible licensing capabilities to accomodate each organization’s needs.

The CA products are multi-currency and multi-language enabled.

The Contract Request Portal initiates the contracting process, allowing any Active Directory user to place requests without being core Contract Advantage users.

The Self-Service Contracts Portal permits users to generate standard contract documents based on approved Legal Templates.

The Digital Signature Module automates the execution and filing of signed documents to complete the contracting process for all stakeholders and signers.
