Why Contract Lifecycle Management Technology is Critical for the Modern Business

The demand for contract lifecycle management (CLM) solutions is rising across enterprises in the legal, public, healthcare, manufacturing, and financial services sectors. This growth comes as no surprise considering the tremendous value CLM solutions offer. According to the Association of Corporate Counsel (ACC), contract management tools can dramatically shorten cycle times; in billion-dollar companies, legal departments that employ contract management technology reduce their average contract cycle time by 33% (from 30 days to 20 days).

Read this white paper to better understand:

  • The drivers behind the growth in demand for contract lifecycle management solutions
  • The primary sources of business value from contract lifecycle management software
  • What to look for in a contract lifecycle management solution to maximize value

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)

Transforming Legal Operations

Technology has increasingly played a prominent role in how Legal achieves its objectives. Well-chosen technology solutions now drive efficiencies and control costs in the legal department — and legal operations managers who understand this are taking action.

But there’s more light at the end of the tunnel: when technology solution providers align with CLOC’s core competencies, the legal department’s success already has a running head start. This white paper highlights the transformation of legal operations and covers:

  • CLOC’s 12 core competencies of legal operations
  • Market trends and the future of the industry
  • How technology is driving change
  • Onit’s strategic alignment with CLOC
  • How an innovative platform helps customers holistically solve their legal department needs

The Operational Maturity Checklist

A reality check for legal teams serious about execution, not just innovation. 

Legal teams aren’t short on technology. It’s lacking traction. 

They’re investing in AI, automation, and modern platforms. But transformation still stalls when adoption lags, workflows break down, and new systems never fully take hold.

This checklist helps legal operations teams assess where execution is breaking down and why. 

 Built from real-world insights shared by legal ops leaders, this isn’t theory.  It’s a practical framework to help you diagnose friction, align your team, and turn investment into impact. 

 Use it to see how work really moves across your organization, where it slows, where it fails, and where it never starts.

In this checklist, you’ll learn how to:

  • Identify gaps in stakeholder alignment and internal trust
  • Assess whether your processes are ready for change before introducing new technology
  • Spot where broken workflows are limiting adoption and impact
  • Understand what operational maturity really looks like in practice
  • Evaluate your team’s readiness to integrate AI into legal workflows

This checklist is designed for legal ops leaders who want to move beyond implementation and build a function that actually executes.
