"The healthcare industry is faced with continually changing regulatory
demands that create complexities in managing contracting processes
associated with vital corporate functions such as spend and physician

Manager of Contract Management Solutions. "We established the Selectica
Healthcare Special Interest Group to provide a forum for discussion and
action for Selectica's healthcare customers who currently represent

believe that for contract management solutions to meet the unique
