• Maintain a repository of supplier and contract information, keeping metadata, key dates and obligations current and searchable.

• Triage acquired vendor contracts, assessing obligations, overlaps and consolidation opportunities across the combined portfolio.
• Coordinate pre-close and post-close software contract decommissioning strategies, enforcing data-privacy guidelines and gathering legal data-deletion proof to avoid double-billing.
