Eighty-five percent of companies are still using a manual process in managing their contracts. This type of filing is exposed to human errors like misplacement and loss. Spreadsheets are also maintained to track the agreements between entities. They used to note dates and key terms on the physical documents. This solves the potential risks previously faced by contract managers. Look for the ones with features that would really impact your organization immediately, but with a pathway for scaling ahead once you’re looking at expansion of your operations. We will highlight their unique features and the pricing which should be relevant to your business operations and budget. In this article, we will look into CLM applications that you can consider aside from Ariba.

More encompassing CLM software could mean paying for features that you don’t really need, so pricing and feature match-up count a lot when you consider purchasing a new CLM software or migrating to a new one.

For example, a company into software development might only need a CLM tool that delves deep into the finer aspects of contracts with partners and clients specific to its industry. While Ariba covers most aspects related to contract, from requesting of materials required to initiate the creation of contracts to managing and optimizing contract terms and conditions via renegotiations, the massive amount of details might overwhelm companies that do not really need that volume of data. It has solid features for associating clients with contracts, adapting to myriad contract types and ensuring strong compliance. Message: "We don't live in a barn.The top alternative to SAP Ariba is ManageEngine Service Desk, which is a versatile solution capable of handling contract processes and activities while providing ITIL-ready asset management and helpdesk support in one nifty software package. Here is an example calling with just a single message using templating: action: If you provide both, random takes precedence over message If you just want to play a single TTS phrase, use the optional message property instead of random. The optional random value is an array of phrases to say. The optional sound value would be a sound file you place in /config/www/sounds, which incidentally is available at The optional delay value is how many milliseconds to wait for the sound to play before playing the TTS so that the TTS doesn’t play before the sound is finished default 2000. The required entity_id can be any valid media_player entity, or “all”. You could use templating to select a specific sound conditionally, or to adapt phrases based on what triggered your automation, among other things. If you want to use templating to define the values, use event_data_template. The event_data has the values needed by our chime_tts automation. The event value is our custom event chime_tts. I have heard that there is a pull-request in the works to fix the parallel script handling, but for now this workaround is operating well.įirst, let’s look at how this is called from an automation: #in an automation:Įntity_id: media_player.bmod_keith_tablet The workaround is to use a custom event to trigger an automation. I have the word “service” in quotes because while getting it working I learned about a workaround to a limitation with scripts in that they can’t currently run more than once at a time, resulting in an error in the logs to the effect of “script already running”.

This has been tested on HASSIO version 0.111.4. A nice advantage to having this centralized is that I won’t have variations of the chime + TTS pattern and “tts.microsoft_say” littered through my other automations. The goal of my service is to consolidate all of the common setup for playing an optional chime, then an optional random (or static, or templated) TTS message so that I can use it throughout my normal automations easily and consistently.

I am sharing with you a “service” I created to simplify randomized TTS messages preceded by an optional chime sound.
