LAKE MARY, FL (PRWeb) December 6, 2006 -- AccuDraft, a leading provider of fully-automated, rules-based contract lifecycle management (CLM) solutions, today announced that it has received an infusion of $650,000 from Smith-Hoffman Capital, LLC. Smith-Hoffman Capital is an Atlanta, GA-based firm that facilitates relationships between entrepreneurs and investors. The funding will enable AccuDraft to continue to provide the highest-quality implementation and support services to its rapidly-growing customer base.

The money will also be used to help AccuDraft significantly boost sales and marketing efforts.
