Wolters Kluwer ELM Solutions Podcast Highlights the Benefits of Contract Lifecycle Management Tools

Technology is the fastest way for organizations to introduce new efficiencies and draw untapped value from contracts

The COVID-19 pandemic greatly accelerated the adoption of contract lifecycle management (CLM) solutions inside corporate legal departments struggling to maintain operations in the face of a remote working environment. However, according to a new installment of Wolters Kluwer ELM Solutions’ Legal Leaders Exchange Podcast, legal departments will likely continue to embrace CLM tools long after the public health crisis has subsided as they look to enhance productivity and introduce new efficiencies into their contract cycles.

During the episode, ELM Solutions discusses many of the factors pushing corporate legal departments towards technology-enabled contract processes, including a desire to guide agreement more swiftly through each stage of the workflow while also taking advantage of data-driven performance insights. For example, innovations such as CLM Matrix – ELM Solutions’ CLM tool – foster efficiencies in the form of automated workflows, status transparency and a searchable central contract repository.

“Organizations are realizing that technology is the fastest way to bolster efficiency and increase transparency throughout the entirety of their contracting process,” says Sheetal Kamani, General Manager, CLM, Wolters Kluwer ELM Solutions.

But while corporate legal departments are moving swiftly in the direction of CLM tools , it shouldn’t be at the expense of a well-developed change management strategy. The Legal Leaders Exchange Podcast explains that organizations first need to evaluate their contracting processes to identify the problems or inefficiencies that can be addressed using technology. For companies eager to build more efficiencies into their contract process, finding a trusted partner who can help tailor a CLM tool to meet specific business needs will be paramount to their success – both now and in the future.

“Find an organization and product team that is experienced with implementations, but also understands where you are today and what your strategic goals will be moving forward,” Kamani says.
