Most of your contracts are probably older than ContractWorks’ CLM features
ContractWorks started as a repository product. While their CLM features are being released and tested, your legal team might struggle with:
- Using an unproven workflow tool
- Manually routing contracts for approval
- Key legal clauses not being tracked and reported on
- Not having a centralized place for contract-related communications
