Key takeaways
- Contracts as Actionable Data: The true power of CLM is realized by treating contracts as structured data, not just documents. Extracting this information turns static agreements into actionable intelligence critical for governance, risk management, and achieving measurable business outcomes.
- Connecting Buy-Side and Sell-Side CLM Data: Integrating siloed buy-side and sell-side CLM data is essential for controlling margins and enhancing commercial agility. This unified view is a “must-have” for optimizing costs and mitigating supply chain risk.
- Harmonization for Global Success: Instead of a “lift and shift” of current documents, successful global CLM adoption requires rationalizing and harmonizing regional processes and templates. This strategic approach maximizes efficiency, cost benefits, and self-service capabilities.
