Is Contract Administration Important?

I've recently read an article (http://commitmentmatters.com/2012/10/30/is-contract-administration-important/) saying "Good contract management within a project is critical to its success." I cannot agree more with this statement however I noticed that most of the time Employers and colleagues do not give to Contract Administration/Management the right importance with the consequent negative results. What is your experience?
