AI-Based Contract Management: What to Look for and How to Get Started

Many sales operations and procurement departments struggle to find practical solutions for handling contracts. In fact, recent studies show these teams spend as much as 65% of their time on administrative tasks alone, such as preparing documents.

Comprehensive contract lifecycle management (CLM) solutions automate and standardize processes, decreasing risk and manual work — and giving sales and procurement specialists back their time to do what they do best for their businesses: spark opportunities, cultivate partnerships, and ignite revenue generation.

However, not all AI-enabled contract management solutions are created equal. This quick start guide focuses on the AI features you need to accelerate pre- and post-signature contract management and provides the expert advice required to get started.

Six Leading Corporate Legal Operations Trends in 2023

The past two years have thrown unprecedented challenges at companies. Their corporate legal departments have risen to the occasion. From the pivot to remote work to the push to ramp up efficiency and control costs, legal professionals have adapted to all challenges with precision and skill. 

Now, new areas of focus have arrived. Our white paper compiles current data, metrics, and benchmarks to identify the top trends influencing legal operations, illustrating how Legal will take action to solve today’s (and tomorrow’s) most pressing challenges.

The Power of the Platform

In recent years, corporate legal departments have seen a shift in expectations for conducting business. Gone are silos and limited interaction with the rest of the organization. In their place is the desire for self-service for low-risk requests, enhanced responsiveness, and increased transparency. As Deloitte noted in a report on the legal department of the future, “In-house lawyers are becoming business partners, embedded and able to work across units and specializations.”

No-code business process automation (BPA) platforms and business intelligence (BI) platforms powered by artificial intelligence (AI) are making this happen. They enable corporate legal to spin up Apps and solutions to fit any business use – from contract lifecycle management to managing diversity to data breach reporting.

CLM x DMS: Supercharging Legal Departments

When a powerful contract lifecycle management (CLM) tool is combined with a state-of-the-art legal document management platform, the whole becomes greater than the sum of its parts. Successful contract management is about more than just making life easier for Legal; it should also provide positive impact for all stakeholders in the contract management process – and as Legal becomes an even stronger player in the organization, it can drive even better results for the business through the combination of CLM and document management systems (DMS)

American Medical Response, Baxter, and ZS Associates (Presentation at ACC Legal Operations)

Contracts are the cornerstone of all business transactions, but the process is often fragmented. In most cases, a contract review and approval process requires involvement from multiple departments and is typically handled by email. There is far too little visibility into where a contract is, how long it’s been there, or its expected completion. And once a contract gets executed, it is often unclear where that contract is maintained. 

This webinar highlights a case study that implemented a process automation platform to address these challenges and the lessons learned during the process.
