Efter att ha rådgett företag i varierande storlekar i flera år insåg vi att många organisationer har ineffektiva processer för att hantera sina avtal. De är varken effektiva eller anpassade efter moderna företag. Vi delar samma mål — att göra avtalshantering både smart och enkelt. Nils-Erik Jansson studerade juridik när han insåg att utbildningen saknade fokus på hur teknologi kunde användas för att alliera affärsverksamheter med juridik. Den intellektuella processen hade påbörjats. …grundade han Sveriges första digitalt fokuserade affärsjuridiska byrå. Med fasta priser och digital effektivisering i fokus vann byrån snabbt mark och när Jansson lämnade byrån för att grunda Precisely tilldelades han priset Årets Juridiska Innovatör. Med en vision om att digitalisera alla avtalsuppgifter i en och samma plattform och att satsa på den senaste tekniken såsom artificiell intelligens blev Precisely inledningsvis en favorit bland bolagsjurister i Norden. Idag har Precisely en bred kundbas utspridd i alla världsdelar och en plattform som låter alla avdelningar arbeta tillsammans på ett effektivt och säkert sätt på en och samma plats. De största problemen relaterade till företags avtalshantering hade identifierats. Att skapa avtal var alldeles för tidskrävande och opålitligt. Utskrifter, skannande och manuell signering är ineffektivt. Avtal är utspridda över hela organisationen — och det är så gott som omöjligt att hålla koll på alla avtalsrelaterade deadlines. Trött på utskrifter och skannande? Inget mer papper. Vi utvecklade en automatiserad ”one-stop”-lösning för alla avtalsrelaterade angelägenheter. Tillsammans strävar vi efter en framtid med mindre administration — och mer tid för affärer. Alla avtal i molnet. Ha alltid tillgång till dem. Inga nedladdningar behövs. Motverka både ekonomiska och juridiska risker genom att digitalisera er avtalshantering. Minska även administrativa kostnader och fördröjelser.

Din uppkoppling till—och kommunikation med—Precisely sker med TLS (Transport Layer Security) med ECDHE P-256 AES-128-bitars kryptering för att säkerställa att data krypteras och överförs på ett säkert sätt. Detta är samma nivå av kryptering som används av många statliga myndigheter och ledande banker. Preciselys servrar är belägna på SAS70 Typ II, SSAE 16-anläggningar med ISO 27001-certifiering. Detta innebär bland annat att fysisk tillgång är strikt kontrollerad av professionell säkerhetspersonal så väl som sofistikerade intrångsförhindrande system och videoövervakning. Utöver detta behöver behörig personal genomgå tvåfaktors-autentisering vid mer än tre tillfällen för att nå serverhallarna.

We share the same goal — to make contracting smart and automated. Our purpose is to make it easy to understand structured data and the solutions that are out there. Companies need a system in place that provides continuous workflow without unnecessary delays. With contract digitalization, you get better control, while allowing more people to be involved in the process, which leads to faster signing, better oversight and compliance. With the Precisely platform, creating new contracts is as simple as filling in a few questions. It’s easy to navigate even without practical knowledge in the legal field. Automation ensures contract compliance and quality control. The platform gives you an overview where you can control and monitor each contract. This allows you to evaluate incoming contracts and make connections to see how it applies to contracts already in your system.

Legal firms were billing so many hours for contract creation and negotiation, while still being prone to human error. The modern solution was to bring tech to the process by digitalising contracts in a way that everyone could understand while saving time and money. So in 2014, he founded Precisely, a smart contract management solution with automated templates, allowing anyone to create flawless agreements in minutes. In addition to being CEO of Precisely, he is also co-founder and Chairman of the Board at Mapiful. He is also the Chairman of Young Entrepreneurs of Sweden and has been involved in reducing the regulatory burden on entrepreneurs, actively lobbying for better conditions for digital entrepreneurs and startups in Sweden. He was awarded Legal Innovator of the Year in 2017. pa|Please read these Terms of Service (the “Terms”) carefully before using the services provided through the website precisely.se, operated by Precisely AB (”Precisely, “we”, “us” or “our”), a company incorporated under the laws of Sweden.

Welcome to Precisely’s Data Processing Addendum (which we’ll refer to below as the or this “ ”) – an appendix to our general terms of service. As we’ve already defined some expressions in the Terms, we’ll use the same definitions in this DPA. Your access to and use of the Platform is conditioned on your acceptance of and compliance with the Terms, including this DPA. This means that you, by accessing or using our Platform, agree to be bound by the Terms and this DPA. We’ll process personal data for which you are the data controller under applicable data protection law. Since you determine the purposes and means of the processing of personal data within and through the Platform, we’ll refer to you as the “ ” in this DPA. Furthermore, Precisely and the Controller will individually be referred to as a “ ” and jointly the “ ”. A. This DPA provides for the Controller and our respective obligations in relation to Personal Data processing. This DPA applies to all activities where we get in contact with Personal Data of the Controller including, but not limited to the Personal Data regarding the Controller’s Users and other affected natural persons, in connection with the Platform, or other services provided to the Controller by us. B. We are only allowed to process Personal Data in accordance with the Controller’s documented instructions and in the Controller’s interest. C. Any reference made to “da­­­ta protection laws” or similar in this DPA shall be understood to include, but not be limited to, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (2016/679) (the “ ”). D. If we’re also providing services and/or products under this DPA to the Controller’s Affiliates, or otherwise gain access to the Affiliate’s data relating to identified or identifiable natural person(s) for the purposes of fulfilling the Main Agreement, such data shall be regarded as Personal Data and this DPA shall be applicable to our processing of such Personal Data. Such Affiliates have the same rights and obligations as the Controller under this DPA. E. This DPA is an integral part of the Terms and/or any similar agreement executed between us and the Controller (“ ”). In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Main Agreement and the terms of this DPA, this DPA shall prevail with respect to the subject matter of this DPA. Affiliate shall mean, in this DPA, companies: (a) directly or indirectly owning or controlling the Controller; (b) under the same direct or indirect ownership or control as the Controller; or (c) directly or indirectly controlled by the Controller. Control or ownership shall be understood to exist through direct or indirect ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the nominal value of the issued equity share capital or of fifty percent (50%) or more of the shares entitling the holders to vote for the election of the members of the board of directors or persons performing similar functions or the minimum share entitling to control prescribed in applicable legislations in such jurisdictions where the ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more would not be possible. Commissioned Processing of Personal Data is the access to Personal Data by us as well as collection, modification, transfer, blocking, deletion, storing, hosting or any other type of processing of Personal Data by us on behalf of the Controller in connection with the Main Agreement and as further specified under this DPA. A Data Subject is a natural person whose Personal Data is being processed by us on behalf of the Controller under this DPA and the Main Agreement. We shall process Personal Data in accordance with the Controller’s written instructions. The initial instructions are set forth in Sub-Appendix A to this DPA. Subject to the terms of this DPA, the Controller can change, amend or replace these initial instructions by single instructions in writing (of course, including in electronic form) at any time. Personal Data is any data relating to an identified or identifiable natural person(s) as defined in the applicable data protection laws, and that is subject to Commissioned Processing of Personal Data. Personal Data Breach is an accidental, unlawful or unauthorized destruction, loss, alteration, disclosure of or access to the Personal Data as well as any events endangering the security, confidentiality or integrity of the Personal Data. 2.1 We shall process or otherwise use Personal Data solely on behalf of the Controller and according to the Controller’s Instructions as set out in this Section 2 and Sub-Appendix A ( ) and the requirements of the applicable data protection laws. 2.2 In addition to the Instructions set forth in Sub-Appendix A to this DPA, the Main Agreement and our performance thereof shall be the Controller’s documented Instructions to us in respect of processing of Personal Data. The Parties may modify or supplement Sub-Appendix A during the term of the Main Agreement and this DPA by concluding an amendment to Sub-Appendix A, which shall be made in writing and which shall incorporate all of the substantive terms as set forth in Sub-Appendix A in an unchanged form. The Controller shall pay us reasonable compensation for all work and costs for us to accommodate such documented instructions by the Controller that in our opinion would not be commercially reasonable to accommodate (for instance. instructions that would require the Platform – or the technology setup required to uphold the Controller’s instructions – to be specially adapted for the Controller). We may suggest new or amended instructions as reasonably required in the opinion of us (for instance, due to changes in the Platform or the Terms) and while it is the Controller’s right to approve or reject such instructions, in case the Controller should not approve the instructions as suggested by us, section 11.4 shall apply. 3.1 As stated in section 2 above, we shall only collect, process or utilize Personal Data in accordance with the Instructions of the Controller and applicable laws and not for other own purposes or purposes of third parties. The Controller shall confirm any oral instructions in writing or via email. Where we believe that compliance with any Instructions by the Controller would result in a violation of applicable law on data protection, we shall immediately notify the Controller thereof. 3.2 Taking into account the costs of implementation, the state of the art, and the nature, scope, context and purposes of processing as well as the risk of varying likelihood and severity for the rights and freedoms of natural persons, we shall ensure, within our area of responsibility, the implementation and compliance with the agreed and appropriate technical and organizational measures. In particular, we shall take such technical and organizational measures to protect the Personal Data against accidental, unlawful or unauthorized destruction, loss, alteration, disclosure and access as well as against other events that endanger the security, confidentiality or integrity of the Personal Data, including inter alia as appropriate: (a) the pseudonymisation and encryption of Personal Data; (b) the ability to ensure the ongoing confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience of processing systems and services; (c) the ability to restore the availability and access to Personal Data in a timely manner in the event of a physical or technical incident; and (d) a process for regularly testing, assessing and evaluating the effectiveness of technical and organizational measures for ensuring the security of the processing. For the avoidance of doubt, we may take other or additional measures as required due to new or amended legislation, or as a result of decisions by public authorities. 3.3 We shall upon the Controller’s request, provide to the Controller the information necessary to fulfill its obligation to register the outsourced personal data processing, such as persons being instructed with data processing, statutory periods for the deletion of data and purposes for the data processing. 3.4 We shall inform the Controller in the event of (i) substantial disruptions of the Service, (ii) possible infringements of applicable data protection laws or of this DPA by us, our employees or third parties, and (iii) any other irregularity in relation to the processing of Personal Data. 3.5 We shall inform the Controller if the Personal Data will be at risk on the site of us by distrainment, seizures, insolvency or bankruptcy measures or by any other activities or measures of third parties. We shall inform all people responsible in this context that the Personal Data is in the sovereignty of the Controller. 3.6 All data storage media, if any, and all copies or reproductions thereof shall remain the property of the Controller. We shall at any time give information to the Controller relating to its Personal Data and materials. According to the Controller’s individual orders, we shall be responsible for the erasure of test or excess data and materials in compliance with data protection requirements, except in certain cases, to be defined by the Controller, where storage and/or disclosure of the test or excess data shall be performed. 3.7 We may transfer Personal Data to countries outside the EEA, subject to applicable legal requirements in respect of the protection of Personal Data in relation to such transfers being observed. In other words, will only make such transfers in a compliant and lawful manner, in accordance with applicable data protection law. 3.8 Finally, if a Data Subject, public authority or third party requests information from us relating to the processing of Personal Data, we shall refer such request to the Controller and await the Controller’s instructions. 4.1 In case of a Personal Data Breach, we shall, without undue delay and, if possible, no later than 48 hours after having become aware of the Personal Data Breach, notify the Controller of the Personal Data Breach in writing. The notification shall, to the extent such information is available to us, contain all necessary information required for the Controller to be able to fulfill its reporting and disclosure obligations to the relevant public authority and Data Subjects. 4.2 We shall, without undue delay after becoming aware of any further details surrounding the Personal Data Breach, supplement the notification described above in Section 4.1 as well as provide the Controller with and any other information relating to the respective Data Breach as reasonably requested by the Controller and available to us. 4.3 We will document any Personal Data Breaches, comprising the facts surrounding the breach, its effects and the remedial actions taken. This documentation must enable the supervisory authority to verify compliance with this Section 4. The documentation will only include information necessary for such purpose. 5.1 Each Party shall keep confidential all material and information, including but not limited to Personal Data, marked as confidential or that should be understood to be confidential, regardless of whether personal, technical, financial or commercial and received in whatever form from the other Party (‘ ’). A Party shall have the right to: (i) use Confidential Information only for the purposes of this DPA and the Main Agreement; (i) copy Confidential Information only to the extent necessary for the purposes of this DPA and the Main Agreement; and (ii) disclose Confidential Information only to those of its employees, subcontractors or advisors that need the Confidential Information for the purposes of this DPA and the Main Agreement. The disclosing Party is responsible for ensuring that the parties that receive Confidential Information comply with the terms relating to confidentiality agreed in this DPA. 5.2 The confidentiality obligation set out in this section 5 shall not, however, be applied to any material or information (i) that was in the possession of the receiving Party prior to receipt of the same from the other Party without any obligation of confidentiality related thereto; (ii) that is generally available or otherwise public, other than if it is public through a breach of this DPA or the Main Agreement on the part of the receiving Party; (iii) that a Party has received from a third party without any obligation of confidentiality; (iv) that a Party has independently developed without using any material or information received from the other Party; (v) that a Party is obliged to disclose pursuant to Law or other order issued by a supervisory authority. 5.3 Each Party shall cease using Confidential Information received from the other Party promptly upon the termination of this DPA or the Main Agreement or when the respective Party no longer needs the Confidential Information in question for the purposes of this DPA and/or the Main Agreement and shall return or destroy the material in question (including all copies thereof). Each Party shall, however, be entitled to retain copies as and to the extent required by the applicable law. 5.4 Each Party guarantees the observance and proper performance of this DPA by its personnel and advisors to whom Confidential Information may be disclosed pursuant to this Clause 5. 5.5 Each Party shall cease using Confidential Information received from the other Party promptly upon the termination of this DPA or the Main Agreement. 5.6 The confidentiality obligations set out in this section 5 shall survive any termination or cancellation of this DPA or the Main Agreement. 6.1 The Controller warrants that all data used in the Service are collected, processed and utilized fairly and lawfully with respect to one or several of the legal grounds stipulated in the GDPR and other applicable law. Such requirements include, but are not limited to, the provision of information about processing of Personal Data to Data Subjects concerned. 6.2 Furthermore, the Controller shall inform us of the content and significance of applicable data protection law to the extent relevant for the processing of Personal Data carried out under this DPA as well as supervisory authorities’ actions and decisions in respect of such processing of Personal Data. For the avoidance of doubt, and without prejudice to your right to instruct us on how to process Personal Data, we are not obligated to comply or take any measures due to such information as referred to in this section unless required by applicable data protection law. 7.1 If the Controller, on the basis of applicable data protection laws, is obliged to answer to inquiries from Data Subjects on the collection, processing or utilization of Personal Data relating to such Data Subject, upon request of the Controller, we shall support the Controller in order to provide such information. We shall pass on such inquiries of affected Data Subjects to the Controller for answering these inquiries. We shall adequately support the Controller in this respect. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Controller shall adequately reimburse us for any reasonable incurring costs in connection with the fulfillment of the duties of this Section 7. 7.2 If the Controller, on the basis of applicable data protection laws, is obliged to erase or rectify Personal Data, we shall erase or rectify that Personal Data also from our data registers, upon the request of the Controller. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Controller shall adequately reimburse us for any reasonable incurring costs in connection with the fulfillment of the duties of this Section 7. 7.3 We shall assist the Controller also in the fulfillment of the Controller’s other obligations under the applicable data protection laws. 8.1 The Controller may itself – or, if required by us, by a third party being subject to statutory professional confidentiality obligations – upon reasonable notice carry out an audit at our office(s), during our usual business hours and without disturbing our business processes, to convince itself of our compliance with the technical and organizational measures, this DPA and data protection laws. We shall tolerate such audit and shall support the Controller in such audit. Furthermore, we shall provide to the Controller, upon written request, within a reasonable period all information, which is necessary to carry out a comprehensive review of the Commissioned Processing of Personal Data and release those persons from their confidentiality obligations vis-à-vis the Controller for the purpose of the audit. However, we are not under any circumstances obliged to disclose business and trade secrets, operational know-how and other data being protected by law, such as data of other controllers, within such an audit. Controls and audits shall be announced at least thirty (30) days in advance and shall be coordinated with us. Any costs of such controls and audits, including possible costs of us in relation to the audit, shall be fully borne by the Controller. 8.2 In the event an audit or an information request from a regulatory authority supervising the Controller’s business, we shall assist the Controller in answering the request and organizing the audit. We shall always allow any such regulatory authority to conduct audits of our operations. Each Party shall bear its own costs in connection with audits initiated by such regulatory authority. 9.1 Controller agrees that we may use subcontractors to fulfill our contractual obligations under this DPA and to provide certain services on our behalf. Upon Controller’s request, we shall inform Controller of the names of the subcontractors that are used and what kind of service the subcontractor performs, as well as the geographical location where their processing activities in respect of the Personal Data are performed. We will restrict the subcontractors’ access to Personal Data only to what is necessary to maintain the Service (or other products/services provided by Precisely to the Controller) and we will prohibit the subcontractor from accessing Personal Data for any other purpose. 9.2 We are liable for each subcontractor’s obligations regarding the processing of Personal Data. 9.3 We shall inform the Controller of any intended changes concerning the addition or replacement of other subcontractors that process Personal Data. Accordingly, we are giving the Controller the opportunity to object to such changes if there are objectively valid reasons for such objection and the Controller informs us of the objection within a reasonable time after being informed about the new subcontractor. We shall remain fully liable to the Controller for the performance of that other processor’s obligations if a subcontractor fails to fulfill its data protection obligations. 10.1 The Parties agree that the general principle of division of responsibility between the Parties under this DPA relating to fines and/or damages to the Data Subjects imposed by any relevant supervisory authority and/or competent court authorized to impose such fines or damages is based on the respective Party’s need to fulfill its obligations under the applicable data protection laws and that any fines and/or damages to the Data Subjects imposed by a supervisory authority and/or competent court shall be paid by the Party that has failed in its performance of its legal obligations under the applicable data protection laws. 10.2 The Controller shall defend, indemnify and hold us harmless against all cost and damages, including but not limited to such damages incurred as a result of claims by Data Subjects or administrative fines, resulting from the Controller’s breach of this DPA, the Controller’s act or omission to act in accordance with applicable data protection regulation, any other circumstance attributable to the Controller’s side or our violation of applicable laws and regulations, including data protection law, due to vague, unlawful or absence of instructions or information from the Controller. 10.3 Our liability for damages under this Data Processing Agreement or otherwise in relation to processing of Personal Data is limited as set forth in section 10 of the Terms. 11.1 This DPA shall be concluded for an indefinite period of time, and shall automatically be terminated in case of termination of the Main Agreement for any reason. Either Party’s right to terminate this DPA for cause shall remain unaffected. 11.2 If we materially breach our obligations under this DPA and fail to remedy such breach within thirty (30) days from the Controller’s written notification of the breach to us, the Controller shall have the right to terminate the Main Agreement with immediate effect. 11.3 Upon termination of this Agreement for whatsoever reason, we shall give the Controller access to all data storage media and copies thereof as well as all Personal Data being in its possession to the Controller (by e.g. enabling the Controller to download documents including Personal Data) and shall thereafter delete any Personal Data stored with us. Upon request of the Controller, we shall confirm compliance with such obligations in writing within four (4) weeks from such request. 11.4 If the Controller objects to our appointment of a subcontractor, or to our changes to the Service, and such objection prevents or significantly obstructs our ability to provide the Service, we have the right to terminate the Main Agreement with immediate effect. This also applies if the Controller’s objection would entail costs to us that are unreasonably high in light of the compensation that the Controller will pay us under the Main Agreement. In case of termination under this clause 11.4, the Controller shall not be entitled to any refund of fees paid for the Service and we are relieved of any and all liability for any damages caused by our termination. 12.1 Amendments and additions to this DPA must be in writing. This also applies to a waiver of the requirement for this DPA. 12.2 Should one or more clauses of this DPA and or the Main Agreement be or become invalid and/or unenforceable, the validity of the other clauses of this DPA and the Main Agreement shall remain unaffected thereby. In such case, the Parties shall amend this agreement and amicably replace the invalid clauses. 12.3 Swedish law shall govern this DPA. 12.4 Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or in connection with this DPA, or the breach, termination or invalidity thereof, shall be settled under the exclusive jurisdiction of The District Court of Stockholm, Sweden.

Precisely ensures that your contracts and critical information aren’t lost in case of an emergency. The database is backed up daily, whereafter daily are saved for a week. Similarly, weekly are saved for one month while monthly are saved indefinitely. Files uploaded to the platform are continuously backed up. Your connection to – and communication within – Precisely uses TLS (Transport Layer Security) with an ECDHE P-256 AES-256-crypto suite, to ensure that the data (including files uploaded or created through our platform) is encrypted transmitted securely. This is the same level of encryption used by several government bodies as well as leading banks. Precisely is hosted in a state-of-the-art SAS70 Type II, SSAE 16 facility, which has achieved ISO 27001 certification. Consequently, physical access is strictly controlled by professional security personnel using, inter alia, cutting-edge intrusion detection systems and video surveillance.

It was an amazing year, filled with everything from valuable boot-camps and other astounding events, to a rocket ride for the industry and record-breaking Precisely metrics. It’s been hectic but every single minute has been worth it! We don’t want to bore you with a complete list of all the events we attended, but the , the , the , the , the and were some of the happenings closest to Precisely’s heart. For instance, Precisely was one of ten companies selected for Startup Sweden, which is an accelerator program that aims to give Sweden’s most promising digital startups the opportunity to take their companies to the next level. The week-long boot camp didn’t just allow us to dive deeper into and challenge our knowledge of business development, but also to expand our networks with astounding entrepreneurs, investors, and partners. The world’s leading startup event, Slush, was held in Helsinki in December. It’s the event that brings tech heads from all industries together – entrepreneurs and investors alike – building an innovative community that’s taking companies to the next level. In fact, helping the next generation of great, world-conquering companies is the very philosophy of Slush. Slush 2017 by the numbers And naturally, Precisely was on-site. But among perfectly put together events, inspiring people and eye-catching scenery, fintech and envirotech weren’t the only focal points. This time, it was that stole the show. At this year’s Slush, the Finnish Legal Tech Forum, the University of Helsinki Legal Tech Lab and Legal Design Summit held a standalone side event focusing entirely on innovation in the legal sector. The event, called , gathered LegalTech startups, investors and other influential figures from all over the world under one roof. Besides offering keynotes and fireside chats with industry experts, the event included pitching and demoing from a few selected companies. Out of which Precisely was one; illustrating how our platform turns people all over the world into contract champions. But this wasn’t the only pitch that Precisely ended up performing. By selection, we also participated in the prestigious Slush 100 Pitching Competition. Not only that, but out of more than 3000 registered companies, we went on to the top 15; the top 0,5 percent. While we, unfortunately, didn’t go on to win the competition (a big congratulations to Meeshkan, you rock!), we’re incredibly happy to see a rapidly growing interest in innovative technology for the legal industry. But pitching wasn’t the only thing we did. This year, Slush introduced the where a handful of startups got to demo their product live on stage. And Precisely was among the selected few. Participating in the Showcase Studio resulted in us showcasing the design and features of Precisely to an audience of hundreds of curious (soon to be) contract champions at the heart of the venue.

Both if you’re a “controller” — deciding the purpose and manner of which personal data is being used, or a “processor” — handling personal data on behalf of a controller. The is the most important change in data privacy regulation in 20 years Failure to comply with the GDPR potentially brings hefty penalties. Up to as much as €20 million or 4 % of the global turnover to be exact. Despite this, some companies still need to redesign their contract management process to ensure GDPR compliance. With higher demands on your business comes higher demands on the systems and solutions that you’re using. Your contracts might contain personal data, meaning that they might be subject to the new regulation. With this in mind, it’s important that your contract management solution helps you become and stay compliant. To help you on the way, we’ve listed five key features that your contract management software needs in order to support you on your way towards GDPR compliance. Data security is already important to both you and your clients, but the GDPR might clarify or add certain requirements. Article 5 of the regulation states that you must have protection against e.g. unauthorized entry and accidental loss or destruction of personal data. In order to achieve this, you will want to gather all of your contracts containing personal data, but preferably all of them, in one (and as further described below, secure) place. Essentially, minimizing the number of systems containing personal data (e.g. in contracts) will make it easier to comply with the new legal requirements. “… [S]trangely many companies don’t have a single defined repository, even with GDPR and other regulations virtually demanding it.” – Apart from keeping your contracts in one place, you will naturally want a secure platform for storing all your contracts containing personal data. You can achieve this by using a solution with and a high-grade crypto-suite, to make sure your data is transmitted safely. Furthermore, you will want to ensure that your cloud-provider maintains a high level of security, which can often be fulfilled when your contract management solution is hosted in secure data centers. Being able to limit internal access and setting up workflow-related security measures is also important. Consequently, you should look for features such as automated approval workflows, different user-level access permissions and—of course—two-factor authentication for accessing the system. The GDPR also aims to protect fundamental rights and freedoms of natural persons, which in means that people whose data you’re handling will have more extensive rights. By now, you’ve probably heard about and . In order to ensure compliance with these rights, your contract management solution needs to make it easy to identify and erase contracts containing personal data. This can, for instance, be achieved with powerful searching and filtering features, which will help you find the contract you’re looking for, quickly. To state the obvious, the lack of search capabilities is also one of the most important reasons to say goodbye to your physical binders. Not least in light of the new regulation. As previously mentioned, the GDPR brings more responsibilities for your company in terms of managing personal data. The processor who conducts data processing activities on your behalf is still held responsible if they act outside of the authority granted by you (and vice versa). You will, consequently, want to make sure that your third-party processor’s activities are compliant. With this in mind, it’s important that areas such as the processor’s obligations are clear as a day. This puts higher demands on the contracts that you use with anyone managing personal data on your behalf. Therefore, we recommend that you use a contract management software with state-of-the-art contract authoring capabilities. What to look for here is, the abilities to On top of contract authoring capabilities, a solution containing advanced e-signatures will make compliance even easier. At least in two regards. First and foremost, the new regulation specifies strict criteria for gathering consent to process an individual’s personal data. As the individual’s consent has to be unambiguous, informed, specific, freely given, and documented, e-signatures can enhance your ability to fulfill the requirements. Especially as the e-signatures make it easier to capture consent immediately at the point of data collection. Second of all, the new regulation stipulates certain conditions for contracts between data controllers and data processors (e.g. a system provider that processes the personal data you control). Many businesses are therefore required to update their data processing agreements with third-party suppliers. Together with the contract authoring abilities as described above, advanced e-signatures can streamline the process of updating the contracts to meet the GDPR requirements. Besides accelerating the signing process, e-signatures will give you total visibility of the status of each contract and who has yet to sign. Time is another important aspect of compliant GDPR contract management. Since it’s also stated in article 5 of GDPR that data should not be processed for longer than is necessary to fulfil the purposes of which it is processed, you will want to track certain events in contracts. Furthermore, an engine with smart reminders for the tracked events is preferred. Using a solution with event tracking throughout can help you a great deal. You can use event tracking to minimize the time of your personal data processing, but also help you keep track of other due dates such as obligation reporting, contract renewals, and renegotiations. In conclusion, using a powerful contract management system with the features mentioned above can help you in ensuring GDPR compliance. This is especially important to have in mind since an inadequate system could damage your business or lead to a lot of unnecessary manual contract related work. Because of this, it’s important to review your current contract management process. Erik is a digital marketer and business developer at Precisely.

Whether big or small, in hospitality or logistics (or anything in between), you’ll be able to increase your efficiency and decrease risk. Precisely is the contract lifecycle management software for modern businesses. It makes contract management smart and simple. Many companies are still keeping their contracts and agreements spread throughout the organization — be it in emails, filing cabinets or stacks of paper on a desk. Precisely offers a centralized cloud-based repository which lets you keep all of your contracts in one place. And they’re all fully searchable. Say goodbye to paper and again. Many contracts are of a sensitive nature, and even if they are not, you probably want to keep them to yourself. Precisely does not take security lightly — the platform is hosted in top-of-the-line facilities and uses the same level of encryption as many government bodies and banks. Many people rely on copy and paste to transfer standard clauses into new contracts — especially when preparing the same types of contracts over and over again.

At home and at work, people are understandably hesitant to download yet another app, create yet another account and incorporate yet another technology tool into their daily routine. The key to successful adoption of legal tech is to choose a solution which 1) can deliver real value and 2) will be adopted with minimal friction. This sounds simple in theory. In reality, it can be hard to pull off. To make it easier, we’ve broken these two factors down into concrete requirements and practical steps you can take to achieve full adoption of your legal tech solution. By choosing a legal tech solution which meets clearly defined user requirements you have overcome the most significant barrier to adoption. Combining this with an implementation strategy which compensates for inertia and a communications plan which resonates with your intended users will take it to the next level. According to , despite the fact that 76% of employees acknowledge that technology has an influence on the way they work, for better or for worse, less than 50% feel that decision makers take their opinions into consideration when selecting IT solutions. To avoid this perception among your team, it’s essential to take the time to identify and understand the pain points that you’re looking to solve before you decide on a particular technology tool. For example, when you’re considering an automated contract management solution, you’ll need to review the way contracts are currently handled within your organization. How and by whom are they created, negotiated, amended, stored and monitored? What templates are available and how are they made available to the team? What are the main pain points connected to creating documents based on those templates? What are the actual costs and most significant risks associated with inefficient contract management processes to your business? Which individual people and teams in your organization are suffering as a result? Research by the that 88 % of business users can’t understand their own company’s contracts and 83% find the process by which contracts are formed to be unhelpful. So by posing these questions, you’re likely to uncover plenty of issues! he key message here is that having a clear picture of the user requirements is fundamental to choosing a legal tech solution which will deliver real value for your organization. Despite the pain points you’ve identified, old habits can be comfortable. As a result, people are generally resistant to change — especially when it comes to adopting new tech solutions. But what to do when “the way we’ve always done it” just doesn’t do it anymore? The work you’ve already done to review existing processes will provide insight into why users might be clinging to old systems. For example, if a particular solution has relevant functionality but requires users to make time in packed schedules for extensive user training, adoption rates will probably stall. Equally, if a solution requires specialist IT skills or coding to incorporate into existing systems, you will struggle to achieve the envisaged uptake. To avoid these issues, you’ll need a plug and play solution that has an intuitive user interface and doesn’t require programming for setup. Taking the time to understand your team’s issues and think laterally about how legal tech can help solve them will enable you to take target actions to address such obstacles and ultimately increase adoption. Winning hearts and minds by clearly communicating the value of legal tech is a significant part of the battle for increased adoption. In this battle, knowledge is power. So, once you have insights into the actual pain points you’re aiming to eliminate with legal tech, you’ll be much better equipped to both choose a solution which really does meet the needs of the users and communicate the benefits of the solution you’ve chosen in a compelling and impactful way. The key here is emphasizing how the new technology benefits the organization and makes peoples’ lives easier. The message should be as specific as possible. To again take an automated contract management solution as an example, explaining to the HR team how it will enable them to onboard new hires faster and spend less time on manual document assembly, is a very compelling narrative. On the flipside, the legal team will be most interested to hear how the solution will allow them to maintain control and promote compliance while also reducing manual tasks and workloads. To summarize, different departments, industries and roles have different drivers. By tapping into how the specific features and benefits of your chosen solution align with these different motivations you can create more compelling communications. No matter what type of legal tech you’re implementing, it’s important to be consistent and targeting in your messaging to make sure users understand the real value and return on investment that the new solution delivers. Once you’ve landed on the legal tech solution that’s right for you and your team in terms of functionality, keeping any friction of actual implementation to a bare minimum is a must. A report estimated that 70% of applications failed due to lack of user acceptance. In view of this, in this day and age, intuitive user experience with little or no training requirements is a prerequisite for most software solutions. Beyond this, it’s imperative to think through the process by which you and your team will actually get started with the new solution. For example, how do you invite your team and set them up as new users? What is the login experience like? The specific aspects of implementation will vary depending on the nature of your business, industry and/or the actual solution. In the case of automated contract management, the ease of converting existing templates and/or importing legacy contracts into the system is a key consideration. If you have a lot of existing contract templates you should confirm whether your chosen solution offers contract conversion service which will transform them for use with the new system. Central to minimizing friction in implementing a new legal tech solution is ease of integration with existing systems. For example, in the case of contract management, you should ensure that your chosen solution can be integrated into any enterprise resource planning (ERP) and/or customer relationship management (CRM) systems you already have in place. It’s important to remember that one single legal tech product is may not be the solution to all of the pain points you’ve identified or have the capacity to interface with all existing systems relevant to your business. That said, for more sophisticated legal tech solutions, you can usually discuss your specific use case and requirements with the vendor. These conversations can help you narrow down what level of integration is both necessary to meet your business needs and feasible from a technical perspective. While frequently overlooked, choosing a legal tech provider which is there to provide accessible and holistic support should be central to your buying decision. Having a vendor which is available to provide support — especially during the initial setup process — will relieve much of the burden on you as the buyer to assist with new user adoption. It’s an unfortunate reality that some software products (including legal tech) involve additional costs for setup, user training and other areas that are crucial for buy-in and adoption. Watch out for these when scoping out your options and make sure you will have the support you need before you launch. If you’ve covered the above, you should be well on track to achieve optimal adoption. The following tips are extra tools you can use to demonstrate return on investment and ensure adoption rates are sustained beyond just the initial launch phase. Articulating exactly what successful implementation will look like is also a good idea. This should be defined in a way that’s both realistic and measurable. For example, who will be the lead user of the system? Which teams will be the first adopters? And, how will the management team know when each phase of the rollout has been successfully completed and the level of anticipated adoption and impact realized? This involves deciding on some key metrics, setting up a system for tracking them and using this data to determine if you’re meeting the levels of anticipated adoption you set before launch. In the case of contract management solutions, the metrics can include things like the number of active users, number of contracts generated per user, average time to signature etc. In the early days of a new legal tech solution rollout, identify which people are most proactive in using the new tools and have successful early adopters share best practices. In the context of Precisely’s contract management software, these people are known as ‘contract champions’. They are an invaluable resource for feedback and can help build motivation among your broader team. Based on the data you’ve collected to demonstrate successful adoption, share and celebrate wins brought about by the new solution team- and organization-wide. Tap into the experiences of your own champions to learn what’s working (and what’s not) with the new technology and adapt accordingly. As technology continues to play a greater role in every aspect of our personal and professional lives, tech fatigue isn’t going to disappear. The key to driving adoption for legal tech solutions is putting people at the core of both the buying decision and implementation process. CEO at Precisely.

But it’s not the same thing as a robot performing legal tasks, is it? To truly understand the capabilities of legal AI, we’ll need to go beyond the buzzwords. Artificial intelligence (AI) is not a new concept. The term was first adopted at the Dartmouth Conference of 1956 which was organized by John McCarthy, also known as the father of AI. Artificial intelligence, noun : the theory and development of computer systems able to perform tasks normally requiring human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and translation between languages. Even before that, Alan Turing and his team created the Bombe machine to decipher the Enigma-machine-encrypted messages sent by the Germans during World War II — and laid the foundations for machine learning. Today, real-world applications of AI are all around us; from self-driving cars and email spam filters, to your smartphone’s automated face-recognition and the personalized recommendations served up by your favorite music streaming app. AI has also gained massive popularity in the field of legal technology (or legal tech). While this is no surprise considering the potential cost savings from letting a computer handle routine tasks, AI and its related terminology have become overused buzzwords in the legal tech space. A quick visit to one of the many news sites covering advancements in legal tech is almost guaranteed to display multiple articles on AI solutions and use cases in the legal field. While AI has become a natural part of our everyday lives, it’s yet to become ubiquitous to many other aspects of an attorney’s day-to-day work. So where can this technology be applied? And more importantly; what even is AI—besides today’s hottest buzzword—and what impact could it actually have on the legal industry? If you’re more interested in the enablements of legal AI than the technology behind it, you can skip ahead to “Revolutionizing legal work”. A technological deep dive In essence, AI is a collective name for computer systems which are able to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence. The keyword here is collective since there’s a multitude of varying technologies that are enabling to what’s commonly referred to as AI. Legal AI — the enabling technologies (OCR) is a technology used to distinguish text characters in documents. This technology is often used to turn physical legacy documents into digital ones that are editable with text editors, such as Word. While this in itself might not be the very most intriguing technology, it enables a large variety of (AI) applications on legacy documents, such as automatic translation, data extraction and natural language processing. are sometimes confused with AI. While AI is an incredibly broad term, an algorithm is quite specific. It’s more or less a set of instructions given to a machine — e.g. if condition (a) is true, do (b). If it’s false, do (c). (NLP) is one of the more common components of AI within the legal field. Simply put, it can be described as a technology that enables a computer to understand natural human language. Making a machine understand and interpret human language is no easy task. When fed structured data, such as a spreadsheet, we can teach a machine to understand it quite easily — e.g. if we tell a machine that one of the columns represents costs, it will interpret that column’s data as costs. But human language clearly isn’t as simple or structured as a spreadsheet. Spoken and even written human language isn’t always logical and consistent. Because of this, a machine needs an understanding of both the concept of a word and its context to grasp what we’re attempting to communicate. This is done in two parts. First, by (also known as syntax analysis or syntactic analysis), which refers to the analysis of the very words that are arranged to form sentences. It applies an algorithm to the words to check grammatical rules and derive the exact meaning of each word. The syntactic structures—phrases, sentences, clauses, etc.—are then analyzed through . This looks at the structure or the phrase, sentence or clause and derives another layer of meaning from this, enabling the machine to understand what is actually written. In other words, logic is applied to see if the formation of the syntactic structures actually makes sense. (ML) is a much-hyped subset of AI, which application a lot of people tend to think of when they hear the term. It’s a set of algorithms that allows software to become “self-learning”, using a data set to predict future outcomes. Machine learning is an application of artificial intelligence (AI) that provides systems the ability to automatically learn and improve from experience without being explicitly programmed. Machine learning focuses on the development of computer programs that can access data and use it learn for themselves. — Expert System Just like NLP, ML is based on analysis. ML, however, uses to identify trends and find patterns, becoming more and more accurate the more data is analyzed. (More on the importance of data in a minute!) Using data sets to make ML software become more accurate is the process known as “training” an AI and can be done in two ways; using supervised algorithms or unsupervised ones. Supervised algorithms require human involvement and interaction; both input and desired output. If we’d like a supervised algorithm to learn to identify a contract type, we’d tell it which parts of the contracts it should look at but manually label them ourselves. Once we have labeled a fairly large amount of contracts and the training is complete, the algorithm is able to apply what it’s learned to new data sets — i.e. new contracts. On the other hand, unsupervised algorithms do not require human involvement. Instead, these algorithms use an iterative approach to arrive at conclusions and correlations that a human would most likely miss on his or her own. This approach has only recently become feasible since it requires massive data sets for training. Simply put, whoever has the largest data sets has the potential to create the most accurate software. In this digital age, data is power! Revolutionizing legal work So, what does all this mean for the legal industry? What happens when we go beyond the buzzwords and actually start applying these technologies? As you can probably imagine, the possibilities of legal AI are immense. In essence, applying AI to legal tasks can allow lawyers to produce better results, faster and at a lower cost. Highly labor-intense work can be automated, allowing lawyers to focus on more impactful and strategic operations. These advantages can be realized by both in-house lawyers and external counsel — all of whom are under constant pressure to deliver better, faster and cheaper legal services. The better-faster-cheaper approach is naturally highly satisfactory to both internal and external clients, and the law firms that manage to move away from archaic hourly billing models will strike gold. Legal AI applications Now that we have an understanding of the underlying technology and the potential, let’s take a look at some examples of legal AI applications. Document review Reviewing documents can be an incredibly time-consuming task, especially for large volumes of contracts such as in the case of due diligence. Instead of having a team of lawyers review piles upon piles of documents, legal AI can do it both faster and better. It is crucial to make mundane contract work more efficient, especially when there are 50-100 pages of contracts for some major deals (M&A large tenders with agreements or multinational corporations). It can really help lawyers sift through these documents, and cut down on the sometimes-deliberate verbosity of these documents which can allow one party to mask core issues. — Zakir Mir, Allegiance International In a well-publicized study , 20 US lawyers with extensive experience of corporate law were put up against an AI to review five non-disclosure agreements, and the results were baffling. While the lawyers were able to achieve an accuracy rate of 85%, the legal AI achieved an average rate of 95%. But that wasn’t even the most astonishing part. It took the lawyers an average of around an hour and a half complete the review — but the AI finished in just 26 seconds! Although the legal AI was clearly outperforming the lawyers, they weren’t too distressed or worried that it would take over their jobs. Instead, they showed a great deal of appreciation for the legal AI since such solutions were proved able to automate low-risk routine work. Expert automation & augmentation software While legal AI might not be quite there yet, the development of expert automation and augmentation software (EAAS) is sure to revolutionize the work of lawyers even further. EAAS is a type of software that uses sophisticated ML to enable the AI-assisted or AI-enhanced automation of highly cognitive tasks, such as legal drafting. In practice, this means that a legal AI could, for example, automatically recommend the least disputed and most commonly used clauses while drafting a contract! Wrapping up To sum things up, the cost and time savings that applied legal AI enable are significant. They have the potential to help legal professionals perform operations faster with less error and human involvement in tedious and repetitive processes. But lawyers, there’s no need to panic! It’s very unlikely that legal AI will take over your job entirely. Instead, tomorrow’s legal practitioners will be able to focus their efforts on high-level work that has a bigger impact, rather than spend time on low-risk routine tasks. By going beyond the buzzwords of legal AI, we hope that you’ve been able to gain some valuable information on the possibilities and limitations of such solutions. Now, we’ll just have to wait and see in which directions the developments of legal AI are heading, and what other amazing use cases are still waiting to be discovered.

This is done by, inter alia, four different Scaleup Summits per year and the 2018 Milan edition was the first one. By offering a platform connecting top startups with big corporates, stock markets, and investors, SEP wants to provide scaleups with possible financing and concrete strategic options to promote growth and business development. Precisely was one of four invited businesses representing the Swedish scaleup scene. In addition to great networking and discussion, the invited scaleups had the opportunity to meet 50+ corporates and 50+ investors. By the Numbers: 4 Cities, Exclusive Locations and Stock Exchanges. 300 highly curated International Tech Scaleups. 200 Corporates. 200 Investors. The two-day event allowed for a lot of interesting meetings between corporates, investors, and scaleups. One of the co-organisers, , also put together specific deep dives, covering trends in: One of the tech trends covered in the vertical deep dives was AI/Machine Learning. AI is one of contract management’s favorite subjects at the moment. This comes fairly naturally as a main goal within contract management, in general, is achieving increased efficiency through automation – and AI enables contract automation as few other technologies. While applied AI isn’t meant to replace lawyers or others working with contracts, it can automate routine tasks. It can help by recommending changes, assessing risks and increase authoring speed. Therefore, deploying these technologies could lead to a competitive edge. There is no reason and no way that a human mind can keep up with an artificial intelligence machine by 2035. – Gray Scott The deep dive discussion on AI/Machine Learning at the SEP Scaleup Summit involved a lot of future trends. For instance, healthcare, in which AI offers amazing opportunities such as organizing patient routes or treatments plans more efficiently by using data sets from previous patients. As a result, it could provide all the information needed to make the right treatment decisions. Another applicable industry is legal works. Just imagine being able to access every contract, clause, or regulation in an instant. To state the obvious, AI could thus prove extremely useful to legal professionals as well. We met an interesting group of companies and people and took part in very engaging discussions. While we would like to tell you about everything, we’ll have to limit ourselves. Here are our key takeaways from the SEP Scaleup Summit. Artificial Intelligence is definitely on the rise and it’s here to stay. Almost all industries can benefit from AI in some way and we’ll probably see more solutions in the near future. As a result, a lot of data is needed and is also key. Because of this, data is somehow becoming a currency. A race has started to see how smart and accurate your solution can become by using as large data sets as possible. This raises the question of the threats known as tech giants such as Google and Amazon. When a small company reaches 1 million data points, Google will have 1 trillion data points. Either finding your own niche or accessing large data sets is key. Furthermore, another hot topic – GDPR– will challenge AI and big data businesses in terms of compliance. With GDPR comes complex requirements on data protection – and companies will, inter alia, have to set routines for e.g. masking data, in order to carry out automated analyses of big sets of data. Loads of resources have already been – and will continue to be- invested in ensuring that development processes are in line with the new regulation. In conclusion – keep an eye open for news on AI, Big Data and GDPR compliance. CEO at Precisely. Legal visionairy with a nerdy interest in processes and tech.

But there are many things that can put a stick in the wheel. So, what are the major challenges of contract management? And how do you tackle or avoid them? Welcome to the second part of the Contract Management 101 series. In this post, we’ll share insights into some common challenges of contract management , as well as give some tips on how to work around them. If you’re new to contract management, don’t forget to check out our earlier post on . There are a few general challenges that, if handled incorrectly, can result in poor contract management. On the other hand, some are bound to be unique to your business. On your way towards becoming a contract champion, you’ll probably identify these on your own. With that said, here are seven questions you need to answer in order to handle some of the common challenges of contract management. First of all, a condition for entering any contract should be the creation of business value for your organization. While this may seem obvious, we’ve all entered one or two agreements that had a disappointing outcome. Most often this happens when the other party fails to live up to expectations or deliver on contractual obligations. The results can range from loss of revenue and missed opportunities to costly and time-consuming revocation of the contract, or even legal disputes. Without a strategic approach, identifying which agreements are, or are not, likely to create real value (and therefore which should or shouldn’t be entered into) can prove challenging. Modern contract management tools make it easier than ever to capture data around the value generated by certain deals (or types of deals). This data can be analyzed to provide key insights into the underlying factors driving the success of your business. Using these insights it is possible to shape (or tweak) business strategies, and establish objective, data-driven criteria to decide when and what agreements should be entered into. Do certain types of agreements often fail to create business value? Is a certain clause often disputed? Do agreements with parties of specific sizes or in specific industries prove to be more valuable than others? Answering questions such as these by analyzing contract data could help you determine whether a new agreement should be made, and which ones to prioritize or seek out. The next key challenge of contract management is one of the most important requirements for success — having the right human and technological resources in place. In terms of people, working with a great Contract Manager, Head of Sales or can obviously be incredibly valuable for tackling the challenges of contract management. Having the right competencies and skills in your team will help you identify and avoid issues unique to your business and industry. Furthermore, competent functions and leaders can help the rest of your organization understand the value of solid contract management processes. As well as facilitate and increase interdepartmental collaboration and business-wide self-service in contracting matters. I have always looked at my competencies before accepting any responsibility. – N. R. Narayana Murthy, Co-Founder of Infosys Even when you have the right people on board, it can be difficult to effectively allocate their time and attention on an individual contract level. In order to avoid inefficient and/or insufficient contract management, it’s important to have a clear idea of the types of contracts likely to arise during a particular project or in a particular business setting, and what resources will be required to manage them. The sooner this in place, the more efficient you and your team can be. For example, for standard, straightforward sales contracts, a sales representative may be able to create a new contract from a template set up by your legal counsel (or equivalent function). Whereas, for larger or more complex deals involving important clients or bigger sums, a contract might require input from multiple departments and a high degree of oversight from senior management, legal counsel, etc. Having a clear idea of what level of resources to allocate to different types of contracts is a fundamental aspect of effective contract management. Involving the right people from the beginning and streamlining procedures wherever possible will also help you build stronger relationships with your counterparts, making communication and collaboration easier. In addition to involving the right people, utilizing modern contract management software is critical for truly successful contracting. Redlined word processor templates, clunky filing cabinets and long paper trails are no longer an inevitable part of contract management. From automated drafting and streamlined approval workflows to a centralized, digital archive and smart monitoring — the right technology will make your life a lot easier. Modern contract management tools can be used to support and increase the efficiency of practically every contract-related action that you and your team undertake. Indeed, traditional contract management is more than likely negatively affecting your contract processes and lowering the overall value of your business. The third critical question for effective contract management is how to manage and control updates to templates and standardized language (known as “boilerplate” clauses). The actual language of this content will depend on the nature of your business and/or the specific context of the deal at hand. This is something which should be overseen by the legal team (or outside counsel). More than half of contracts created were based on the wrong template. — IACCM , 2018 Benchmark Study Ensuring that your entire organization uses the correct templates and appropriate boilerplate clauses is a significant challenge on its own. A recent study even showed that more than half of contracts created were based on the wrong template! A lack of compliance on this seemingly simple issue can result in major headaches later on — ask any lawyer who’s ever worked on contract management! The challenge becomes even greater when you take the inevitable need for this standardized language to be continuously updated into account. For example, as mentioned above, contract data can provide useful insights about which clauses create the most friction during your business negotiations. This may, in turn, warrant changes to a template or boilerplate clause. But, without a robust way to ensure this change is reflected across all new contracts involving similar deals, it’s impossible to reap the true benefits of the data you’ve collected. Luckily, digital solutions can help by providing means to control and coordinate updates to contract templates and standard clauses. This means that everyone in your organization will have immediate and ongoing access to only the most up to date version of any given contract template. And no one can make unauthorized amendments to approved content. Once a contract is drafted (either manually or using automation tools), having efficient workflows in place for review and approval is another typical challenge in contract management. Let’s be real — contracts are rarely the most riveting read. Moreover, responsibility for review and the routing of contracts in need of approval is often lacking determined standards. So, perhaps more so than other documents, draft contracts frequently get stuck in inboxes and at the bottom of to-do lists. The solution to this lies in setting routines and workflows — the more automated the better! If you’re using modern software that allows you to establish automated approval workflows , you’re off to a good start. This lets you automate the routing of contracts and shorten cycle times. Such tools can also let you set user-level roles and permissions, and enable automated notifications for contracts in need of review and approval. Because the approver can trust that draft contracts are created in complete compliance with approved and up-to-date templates, the ability to centrally manage and control these, also allows for shortened cycle times. This means that instead of reviewing the entirety of, for instance, a vendor agreement, the approver need only review the variable parts — such as the name, price per unit and volume of a product. Once a contract is approved internally, we arrive at the next challenge of contract management — execution. There are often multiple delays leading up to the actual execution of a contract. Even relatively straightforward deals can be held up by inefficient back and forth emailing, negotiations focused on endless redline amendments and unnecessarily drawn out signing procedures. For deals large and small, the actual challenge here is finding ways to minimize delays, eliminate downtime and ultimately shorten these processes for the benefit of all parties. A large factor in this challenge is the continued reliance on the outmoded practice of sending contracts for physical signing by traditional courier or postal services. Luckily, this inefficiency is probably the easiest to counter — using . Some of the benefits gained from using e-signing are: significant time savings, cost reductions, more secure signing processes. Using legally binding digital signatures is a big step towards digitization and lets you eliminate the need for printing, scanning and copying. So why continue to uphold a paper-and-ink regime? Both parties have reached agreement, and (e-)signed on the dotted line. So, then comes the hard part — ensuring that you and your team deliver on your contractual obligations and receive the expected benefits in return. It may seem obvious, but a prime example of poor contract management is not delivering on expectations or failing to monitor the other party for timely compliance with the terms and conditions of the contract. The first step to avoiding these issues is by bringing all relevant stakeholders to the table when agreeing upon the contractual terms. The ability to set user-level roles in digital contract approval process described above is a great way to streamline this internally. The next step is effective monitoring. Just stuffing signed contracts into archives is an almost guaranteed path to non-compliance. So, what needs to be put in place at your end to ensure that contractual obligations are met? Begin by determining what to monitor, such as different kinds of deliverables and their due dates. From there, decide who’s responsible for monitoring and how the monitoring itself is to be done. It’s also a good idea to think ahead about what actions need to be taken in the event of non-compliance. Non-digital repositories, or even on regular hard drives or cloud storage facilities, aren’t purpose-built for managing contracts and do not include crucial monitoring and compliance functionalities. So continuing to keep your contracts spread out in such locations increases the difficulty of monitoring and ensuring compliance. Luckily, there are plenty of modern contract management solutions that offer centralized and fully searchable archives for all of your contracts. Along with monitoring features for all parts of the contract lifecycle, such as automated reminders. Tools like these ensure that you’re always up to date on the status of all your contracts — including deadlines, renewals and other important information. The final and most important challenge of contract management is managing and keeping track of costs. Alarmingly, the IACCM (International Association for Contract & Commercial Management) has estimated that the average cost of processing a basic, low-risk contract for a large business is ! Broken down, this estimate includes the following allocation of time and resources: US$500 for 2.5 hours of legal time (assuming the use of in-house resources); US$2700 for around 18 hours of contract manager/procurement time; US$1800 for around 12 hours of operations, engineering, or project management time; US$300 for two hours with finance functions; US$1,000 for up to six hours with compliance/risk or regulatory functions; and US$600 for ‘other’ types of review or resources. These amounts are based on data collected by the IACCM from large companies and enterprises in North America and Europe with annual revenues of $1 billion or more. Even if your organisation is not this size, it’s highly likely that you are incurring unnecessarily high costs throughout the contracting process. But you can’t fix what you don’t measure, so keeping track of the costs incurred at different stages in your contracts lifecycles can help to reveal and alleviate inefficiencies. Another frequent friction point in many contractual relationships is delayed payments. For small or newly established businesses, on-time payments can be the difference between the venture’s success or failure. In other words, the real challenge lies in establishing routines and methods for cost accounting. Which can even be the primary task of the accounting department in some industries. Remember what we mentioned above about having the right resources? Many, if not all, of the contract management issues and challenges we’ve highlighted here can be tackled using digital solutions. Acquiring a modern contract management platform is a good first step towards increasing overall efficiency, since they’re designed to counter the inefficiencies of traditional procedures. With that said, it’s important to remember that people, processes and technology make up three equally important pillars of successful contract management. No contract management platform can compensate for a lack of good people and processes, and vice versa. As we flagged at the start, there are a lot of industry and business specific challenges as well. You can read more about how our platform, Precisely, can help with a wide range of industry and role specific challenges on our website. You might also consider performing an audit of your own contracting processes to identify friction points unique to you. We also recommend coming up with routines and procedures for handling challenges as soon as they emerge. This will make it easier to avoid inefficiencies, and in turn, unnecessary costs and risks.

But how do you know what to prioritize when trying to incorporate them into the way your organization does business? Welcome back to the third part of our Contract Management 101 series. In this post, we’ll outline what’s generally considered to be best practice in contract management and, in doing so, help you on your way towards becoming a contract champion. If you haven’t already, take a look at the first post of the series to learn more about and how new technologies are changing the execution of it . As well as the second post if you want to dive into some typical and how to avoid them . Put simply, contract lifecycle management is the process of managing contracts to maximize performance throughout the whole lifecycle. To identify best practices, it’s helpful to break the lifecycle down into phases and consider how the challenges presented by each (discussed in detail in our last post) can be most effectively navigated. Before we start, it’s important to reflect on the context and overarching purpose of effective contract lifecycle management. For almost every organization this will be the same — to reduce costs and risks while remaining in control of their contracts. In general terms, key questions for determining if your contract management is successful are: Are both the business relationships and agreements being generated and entered into satisfactory to all parties involved? Does the value generated from the organization’s contractual relationships match or exceed the expected value? Are contracting and efficiencies being realized and/or inefficiencies being counteracted? With this in mind, it’s time to take a look at some of the practices which define the most effective contract management. A big part of building successful contract management strategies is establishing end-to-end control over. Which can be widely achieved by clearly defining roles and establishing routines, while utilizing automation. — Nils-Erik Jansson, CEO of Precisely One of the initial bottlenecks of traditional contract processes is contract creation. Traditional methods which are heavily reliant on manual copying and pasting and multiple read-throughs are simply incredibly time-consuming and very prone to human error. Therefore, increasing the efficiency of this first phase of the contract lifecycle is a big step towards building a best practice contract management framework. Many organizations have already come some way towards achieving greater efficiency in their contract creation by developing contract templates and/or standardized, pre-approved wording for clauses that are consistently included in their contracts — so-called “boilerplate” terms. But, just standardizing templates and clauses can only get you so far. The next step on the path to truly efficient contract creation is the centralized control of this content. As mentioned in our earlier post on the benefits of contract creation and drafting software , standardized contract templates are generally created in rich text editors such as Word. But text editors are made for just that—editing texts—and not for document assembly. At the core of the functionality of such programs is the ability for documents to be freely edited by anyone, resulting in a loss of control for the legal department (or other oversight function). Because of this, we highly recommend using software with a dedicated editor and an automated contract creation solution. For starters, this eliminates the risk-prone and repetitive copying and pasting when drafting a contract in a regular text editing software. For ease of use and simplicity when it comes to drafting, a questionnaire-based solution is hard to beat. Such solutions allow users to generate contracts by simply answering questions which correspond to the variable clauses, such as “What’s the name of the counterparty?” or “What’s the governing law?”. By simply entering or selecting the relevant response to such questions, the contract will be automatically drafted to reflect the details of the deal at hand. This way, team members (with or without legal expertise) can automatically create new contracts from templates as needed. Meanwhile, the business retains control over the content and can rely on the fact that all new contracts conform to the pre-approved wording every time. In addition to making the contract creation quicker, this level of control also lets you focus less on linguistics and reduces the need for multiple read-throughs. This, in turn, reduces the review time of each document since only the variable parts, such as clause inputs, will need to be reviewed. With this sort of standardization, you’re also able to re-use legacy contracts and existing templates more freely, without extensive editing. It’s clear that using a dedicated contract drafting and creation solution is among the most fundamental practices you can implement to improve and streamline your contract management procedures. After the contract is created, it’s time to review the terms before approving and, finally, executing to close the deal. However, each of these stages of the contract lifecycle can be unnecessarily time-consuming and, in the absence of clear workflows and responsibilities, can contain multiple bottlenecks. Which individuals are responsible for reviewing and approving a specific contract isn’t always clear as day. Often, it’s not just one person or department, but multiple stakeholders. As a best practice, we recommend clearly defining roles and routines for the approval of contracts. Start by determining who is/are responsible for approving certain contracts and establish a corresponding workflow. Then, you can use modern contract lifecycle management software to automatically route contracts to the right approvers and notify them of when there’s a contract in need of review and/or execution. If you’ve read the earlier posts in this series, you know how we feel about the old paper-and-ink regime when it comes to signing! Luckily, electronic signatures are fully legally binding in a majority of countries, and for a majority of contracts. Using an e-signing solution , which is included in many contract lifecycle management software solutions, can reduce the time to signature from weeks or days to hours or even minutes. E-signing of contracts is definitely a best practice for anyone doing business today — the cost and time savings are significant. Archiving is one of the fundamentals of contract management. It goes without saying that storing contracts scattered in binders, stuffed into filing cabinets or saved on a local hard drive is hardly best practice nowadays. Indeed, one of the most basic functionalities of contract management software is to provide a secure and centralized repository. This is obviously necessary for keeping your contracts safe from unauthorized external eyes. While best-in-class solutions also allow for customizable user permission levels for the sake of internal security. This functionality can be used to limit insights into specific projects or documents and determine who can perform edits to contracts, who are allowed to approve of them, and more. The most basic activity in the full contract management lifecycle is to store the contracts in an electronic and searchable way. – IACCM & Capgemini Automation Report The best solutions also offer the ability to search contracts based not only on the document’s name, but also based on full text and metadata tags (which can be used to define other important information or content relevant to the contract). This sort of extensive searchability makes it quick and easy to locate a specific contract, stakeholder or clause. In summary, the key elements of good contract storage are keeping your contracts protected, limiting user roles and insights, and having the means for quick and easy access through extensive searchability. Usually, the formation of a contract will give rise to several dates and deadlines, such as deliveries, renewals, renegotiations and terminations. Missing these crucial contract dates can have a directly damaging effect on your business and revenue. Yet, monitoring these can be quite a challenge on its own, especially as the number of agreements that your business enters increases. Luckily, there are digital and automation driven tools available and integrated into the best contract management solutions. Obviously, best practice dictates that you keep close tabs on any document-related deadlines and establish routines for taking timely action. One common trap for even the most diligent business are those contracts that don’t have any deadlines but are instead automatically renewed if not expressly terminated — so-called “evergreen” contracts. To avoid this, we recommend a solution that allows for smart reminders to be set for any event in the contract lifecycle. Using such tools, you can monitor your evergreen contracts particularly closely and review them periodically. If they’re not valuable to your business, they should be renegotiated or terminated to avoid unnecessary costs. The key takeaway is that you should continuously look for ways to maximize performance throughout the whole contract lifecycle. This can be done by analyzing your contract management process for inefficiencies or success factors, and evaluating the methods you’re using. From there, you’ll be able to identify and establish more best practices on your own. And so, the third part of our Contract Management 101 series has come to an end. We hope that you’ve gained some valuable insights on contract management best practices and the beneficial effects of using modern software in your processes. Search for: bo|Best practices of contract management Creation Approval and execution Storage and compliance Monitoring and renewal Successful contract management pa|To begin with, contract creation and drafting software have been around for many years. Also known as document automation, or document assembly, most solutions intend to accelerate contract creation speed – and minimize human errors in the drafting process. Nevertheless, traditional, outdated software solutions require extensive IT knowledge to set up and maintain the system. Some even require programming skills, or frequent local installations of updates, resulting in even more resources wasted than profits gained from implementing the solution. Consequently, in these situations, drafting a contract based on a Word-template could even be easier than using the system. Of apparent reasons, these hurdles and difficulties in relation to template maintenance have fundamentally decreased document automation project’s long-term viability and return on investment. Some even require programming skills, or frequent local installations of updates, resulting in even more resources wasted than profit gained from implementing the solution. As a general principle to apply when choosing contract creation and drafting software, let your least tech-savvy colleague’s participate in a training session with the software provider’s sales rep. Do they understand how to set up a template in the software after a couple of hours of training? Yes? Then you’re likely to have your winner. Furthermore, cloud-based solutions will overcome many obstacles relating to IT maintenance. All updates to your templates will typically be automatically distributed too, making it possible to ensure that the latest version always is in use. Gratefully, approximately 90 percent of the contract automation tools today are made available through the cloud, so you won’t have any trouble finding one ( – Automation Report, 2018). There are many things to take into account when choosing contract creation and drafting software. Different departments and roles have different drivers. The legal department prioritizes control and legal compliance, whereas sales will have ‘more deals done, quicker’ as the primary focus. From a change management perspective, you must always have these drivers in mind. In case you cannot fulfill each department’s drivers, you will experience resistance internally, and the system won’t be used to the extent you initially intended it to be used, which results in a limited ROI. To my knowledge, in relation to contract drafting and creation software, the best way of combining the legal department’s drivers with operational department’s equivalents is to implement solutions where the drafting is made through a dynamic questionnaire. In the end, this allows operational functions to draft compliant contracts superfast simply by answering a few questions. The questions correspond to rules decided by the legal department, which on beforehand can decide precisely what changes to the contract are allowed, meaning that they stay in control of the final versions of each contract. Consequently, legal can decentralize contract creation, but stay in control. Finally, it allows the legal department to put full focus on complex and strategically important legal work, rather than shuffling paper and reviewing recurring contracts. How does this work in practice? Since your template often needs customization to suit each individual case, many templates will include certain variables that change from contract to contract. This could, for instance, relate to details about your counterparty, what products that are sold, the employee’s salary, governing law or alternative clauses depending on if you want a seller or buyer-friendly version of the agreement. In turn, each variable will correspond to a question to be answered by the person who wants to draft the contract in each individual case (e.g. What is the registered company name of our counterparty?). Dynamic questionnaires allows for incredibly efficient and user-friendly contract creation The answer to the questions will populate all relevant fields in the template, and the most sophisticated solutions allow answers to activate or deactivate certain clauses based on preset conditions. For instance, different clauses will appear the applicable governing law. In the end, dynamic questionnaires allow for incredibly efficient and user-friendly contract creation, allowing anyone in your organization to create even the most complex contracts without errors even without legal knowledge. Thus allowing for both easy and safe creation of contracts while freeing up time for yourself and/or the legal department. Erik is a digital marketer and business developer at Precisely.

This applies even though many businesses use digital tools such as Word or other text editing software to support the drafting process. Let’s take a deeper look at contract creation and drafting, and what you’re able to do with the help of and contract creation software. To ensure legal compliance, and accelerate drafting and contract creation, your legal department (or external legal advisor) has most likely created a set of templates to be used by different departments throughout your company. Generally, the templates are created in rich text editors, with Microsoft Word being the weapon of choice. Although Word is an excellent software for editing text, it’s not created for document assembly. Although Word is an excellent software for editing text, it’s not created for document assembly. Once the template is created and distributed to the different departments, its shortcomings become the most apparent. As the document can be edited freely by anyone (at least the free-text fields in case the document is locked for changes), the legal department lose control of the terms and thus can’t guarantee that the contract is finalized as intended, exposing the company to major legal risks. Furthermore, when you create a contract based on a template, you typically need to do quite a bit of copying and pasting to finalize the contract. Then, in order to make sure that everything is correct, you proofread the entire document one, two, three or maybe even more times. Because, well, just a minor contractual error can result in major, expensive damages to your business. Do we need to conclude that the process is unnecessarily time-consuming too? We’ve established that of producing templates and creating contracts based on those templates are wasteful and unreliable processes. But, more importantly, what differs when using a contract creation and drafting software? How do they work and what are the benefits of using one? Limitations of traditional document assembly & document automation software There are many more processes revolving around contract creation and contract drafting software than the actual production of contracts. In the best possible scenario, you will want to limit the number of software systems used. Especially since management across multiple systems will increase the complexity and, accordingly, decrease adoption of the system. To maximize ROI, look for contract drafting software that, as a bare minimum, offers , automated approvals and a sophisticated document repository. Furthermore, in order to ensure that the templates remain safe, correct and compliant, it’s essential that the system allows customization of end-user permissions to limit who gets to make changes to the contracts and who has access to each document. Happy contracting, Simon Search for: em|If you’re working within legal, compliance, deal making or procurement, chances are you’re putting an unnecessary amount of time and effort into contract drafting and contract creation. Dedicated contract creation and drafting software intends to tackle the ineffective traditional ways of executing these processes. pa|Welcome to Precisely’s Contract Management 101. In this contract lifecycle management series, we’ll take a closer look at what contract lifecycle management actually is, the features of available solutions and some, both general and specific, tips and tricks. All to help you on your way towards becoming a contract management champion. This is the first part of our series and we’ll begin by answering a commonly asked question: Many might think of just jamming contracts in a file cabinet when they hear the term but it does involve a few more important steps. To begin with, contracts come in all shapes and sizes, from simple standard agreements to comprehensive, resource demanding and legally complex ones. Contracts are the backbones of businesses, and can help forge profitability through long-term business relationships. At the same time, poor contract management can result in lost revenue because of a plethora of reasons. Such as missed renewal dates, early terminations or deficient collaboration. Contract management, or contract lifecycle management, is often described in words similar to the process of managing contracts to maximize performance, all the way from initiation to renewal or termination. This is, however, not a very elaborate answer. Times and technologies are changing, and thereby also the answer to what contract lifecycle management is. have been around for a long time and are, as of today, a combination of human interaction with machine functionalities. Contract management used to involve a lot of inefficient processes that were demanding on both man-hours and other resources, such as manual drafting, proofreading and inefficient approval processes. This traditional image is also one that is deeply set among many, even though technology and software have come a long way and evolved these processes. Therefore, it’s time to repaint the picture and bring justice to contemporary contract lifecycle management. Let’s begin by taking a look at the different phases of contract management from an operational and a transactional perspective, in which present contract lifecycle management software should, and can, offer support. The contract lifecycle can be categorized into two primary phases – the operational phase and the transactional phase – which are in turn subcategorized into processual steps. It is during the operational phase that mainly general, not contract specific, preparatory work is done. A big part of the operational phase relates to establishing routines, all in order to streamline your contract management process and provide you with the best conditions possible for entering the transactional phase. When routines and other frameworks have been established, it’s time to move on to the transactional phase. This is the contract specific phase, meaning that a vast majority of agreements that you transact goes (or at least should go) through it. It’s the circle of (a contract’s) life! According to us, there isn’t a descriptive enough one-line answer to “ “. Not least since contract lifecycle management can be described as the process of maximizing performance in of the steps of the operational and transactional phases. But now that we’ve established what the contract management process can look like in theory, it’s time to ask an important question in light of the latest decade’s technology improvements – ? Modern technology, such as cloud-based searchable storages and libraries, eliminate the need to dig through file cabinets. Thus making it possible to find exactly the contract or template you’re looking for in the blink of an eye. Perhaps more importantly, best-in-class cloud-based contract lifecycle management systems always ensure that the latest version of a specific template is at hand. As a bare minimum, certain fields in the template needs to be filled in — and often the same information is entered in multiple parts of the contract. Contract management software can not only streamline the contract authoring with the help of automation but also make it possible for anyone to create compliant contracts in a matter of minutes, even without legal expertise. For instance, using intelligent templates and questionnaire-based drafting. If you’d like to learn more about contract creation and drafting software, to read more about the functionalities and benefits of such solutions. Contract lifecycle management solutions streamline the approval process with the use of automated and customizable approval workflows. Typically, this means that each relevant stakeholder is notified automatically once the contract is ready for approval. Likewise, the person requesting the approval will automatically receive a notification when the contract has been approved. Depending on the nature of the contract, it may often be negotiated. Traditional negotiation practices often involve sending a red-lined Word document back and forth, which results in a lack of a clear overview of all changes from the first draft. Instead, modern contract management solutions enable you to carry out the negotiations in the contract management application. You will get a complete audit trail and version control covering all changes that have been made since the first draft. What is contract lifecycle management? “Contract Management consists of all the various tasks and activities that enable an organization to maximize the value of its recorded relationships.” – In the traditional way, this means sending the contract for signing by postal service or courier, which quickly turns into a long waiting period. Especially if the receiver isn’t located in the same city or even country. Modern contract management technology reduces this process from weeks to days or even hours using legally binding e-signatures. While helping businesses take a big digitization step by stop using paper. It’s like killing two birds with one stone. Or in this case, two contracting inefficiencies in one feature. These solutions do organize the contracts to some extent but a regular lack of searchability and reportability still makes it hard to locate and analyze them. As you may have heard before, it is estimated that ten(!) percent of all signed contracts in a company have completely disappeared (Faulkner Information Services). Dedicated contract management platforms offer a central and full-text searchable repository, with the ability to set up different user access levels and permission settings on documents and folders. Thus allowing for authorized staff to instantly locate, search for and report on contracts and their performance. From anywhere, at any time. Many of these actions pass by unnoticed due to a lack of monitoring procedures (or that the contract is lost in space). Tracking and following up on a contract is complex and resource demanding. Nevertheless, missing e.g. a renewal or termination, or to follow up on each party’s rights and obligation, exposes your company to major legal risks and can severely reduce profits. Utilizing modern monitoring and alerts functionalities make sure that any upcoming follow-up actions, renewals or terminations are surfaced before it’s too late. Although this might work on a short term, I highly recommend a more centralized approach where all reminders and upcoming alerts are kept in one place. The reasons are many. So, what is contract lifecycle management? We’re still going to describe it as the process of managing contracts to maximize performance throughout. As you can tell, however, the presence or absence of modern contract management solutions reshape the contract lifecycle process. And makes for a lot more elaborate answer to what contract lifecycle management is. Hopefully, we’ve managed to provide you with new insights and bring some justice to contemporary contract management.

Supercharge your contract management processes di|Erik Legerius in , , li|—the first part of the operational phase mainly involves specifying authorities and responsibilities for everyone involved in the contract management process. For areas such as overseeing development, defining the contract and document-related responsibilities and deciding other authorities and roles. – second is the development step, which is a heavy one production wise. This is where standard terms and clauses, templates and boilerplate (standardized language) are determined, along with procedures for utilizing them. – monitoring is a crucial part of the contract lifecycle. Performing research of different sorts, such as mapping recurring issues in the contracting process, allows for suggestions for, and nurtures, improvements. – implementing policies, having (and correctly using) the right tools as well as providing training in the tools for those operating the processes is, of course, crucial for quality consistent contract management. – the last step of the operational phase is the analysis — defining your metrics and KPIs, all in order to ensure that contracts are performing properly and that your goals are met. Define and regularly report on any data that can directly provide you with these indications. – the first part of the transactional phase relates to evaluating whether or not an agreement should be initiated at all. Identify a suitable contract model, or review the counterparty’s proposed terms and conditions. If the counterparty is the proposing side, the transactional phase jumps to the “negotiate” step. – now, it’s time to involve all of the concerned internal stakeholders for review. Have them evaluate and approve or disapprove non-standards and correlating factors, such as necessary resources and related contracts. Important to mention, however, is that approval can be a recurring step of the transactional phase. – if all pieces come together, it’s time to push the go button. In other words, creating the required contracts with the use of templates, or by drafting completely new contracts. – after a contract has been assembled, depending on how your team is structured, it’s common practice to review it before moving on to negotiations. – handing over a finished draft to your counterparties usually sheds some light on disagreements. Such as strategy, fallbacks and trade-offs. This is where you’ll attempt to redraft and concord, or in worst case, terminate the negotiations. – once the agreement has been negotiated and all terms are agreed between the parties, it’s time to execute, or in other words the contracts. – how are your contracts performing? This step involves handling complaints, disputes, and changes, as well as recordings of these. This naturally also involves storing your contracts, which preferably should be done in a clearly defined and central repository. – if not evergreen ones, contracts will eventually reach an expiration date. With previously mentioned procedures for measuring performance data in hand, it’s time to make a decision of termination or renewal. And the contract lifecycle recommences. The contract lifecycle begins as soon as a request for a contract is made. Functions in charge of contracts, e.g. the t, begins to look for re-usable legacy contracts and/or templates. This is also where the first bottleneck can occur in case contracts are not easily located. Next up, it’s time for an unnecessarily time-consuming step – drafting the contracts. Even if legacy contracts or templates are available and found, chances are they’re in need of editing, proof-reading and possibly more editing before they can be re-used. After finalizing the first draft of the contract, there’s often a need for e.g. upper management or the legal function, to approve it. Without clearly defined responsibilities and workflows, the approval process often becomes long drawn. The next step in the process towards answering “what is contract lifecycle management?” is the execution of the contract. After the contract has been executed and signed, it’s time to store and monitor it. More or less common solutions are filing cabinets, local storages on hard drives and cloud storages. While the contract has been executed and put in a repository, the contract lifecycle doesn’t end here. You will often need to follow up on each party’s rights and obligations, as well as when the contract needs to be terminated, renegotiated or renewed. st|Specify Develop Nurture Educate Measure Assess Approve Assemble (Approve) Negotiate Execute Manage Evaluate what is contract lifecycle management? all how has software improved the different stages of the contract lifecycle Initiation Creation Approval (and perhaps, negotiation) Rajini Saudranrajan, Iris Corporation Ltd.

They’re gone. ten percent (!) of all signed contracts in a company have completely disappeared Not rocket science: it can be costly to miss when a contract is about to expire or to be automatically renewed. Where do you have your contracts today? In a binder? In your email inbox? Somewhere in the cloud? Scattered all over? Don’t worry, you’re not alone. Moreover, contracts often take long time to draft — even for me as a lawyer. When recreating a contract from a template (i.e. copy-pasting and editing), the contract needs to be read through from start to finish. I hardly need to say that this process is unnecessarily inefficient. If a company has several people involved in the contracting process, it takes even more time. And often implies a loss of control — not least when the number of employees handling contracts increase. Hey, what if something was cut out or deleted by accident? Believe me, I have been in court to dispute contracts where this the actual case. When the drafting is done, another process is initiated. Signing. Traditionally, the contract is printed and manually signed. Unfortunately, the signees might not be in the same room, town or even country. This means that postal services (or couriers) are needed to circulate the contract. More time spent, less deals done. It is not for legal reasons (a digital signature is basically as binding as a physical one). So why uphold a paper-and-ink regime? That’s why we’ve developed Precisely. Precisely is a cloud-based contract management platform for smarter contracting.

But when combined, they provide some of the most sophisticated and holistic contracting platforms available. The definition of “synergy” is a combined effect that is greater than the sum of its parts. Synergistic effects are all around us; from honey bees gathering nectar and, in the process, pollinating flowers, to humans forming networked societies to create better living conditions. In a similar way, a document assembly (also known as contract/document automation) solution and a system can come together to create a positive effect far greater than that of their separate functionalities. It’s important to understand the difference between document assembly solutions and contract management systems — a distinction which is covered in greater detail below. But at the outset, it must be noted that many contract management systems of today include document assembly solutions. But this is not a given. In this blog post, we’ll dissect the ways in which these two separate features are so mutually reinforcing and why you should choose a solution that integrates both. Document assembly & contract management systems A good document assembly solution is one that takes raw contract data and, using digital tools, creates a document/contract which meets the users needs with a high level of efficiency, compliance and consistency. This replaces the highly manual and error-prone process of a person (sometimes, but not always, a lawyer) drafting a bespoke contract from scratch or, as is more often the case, compiling a contract by copying, pasting and editing an assortment of templates and/or boilerplate clauses. Contract creation — old vs. new In commercial transactions, so-called “traditional” contract creation has historically been carried out with the use of pre-approved templates that have been developed and approved by the organization’s legal functions. The person creating the contract would access and amend the template in a text editor such as Word, potentially with the addition of fit-for-purpose extensions. Of course, the use of such templates is less risky than simply allowing people with little or no legal background to produce contracts from scratch. But, there is absolutely no guarantee or control mechanism to ensure that the final product will be a compliant contract. For example, when drafting in this way, one tends to rely on extensive copying and pasting of terms and clauses. So, what if something was accidentally deleted or unintentionally left out? Or, what if a non-lawyer simply deletes critical limitation of liability clause without understanding the importance of including this type of safeguard in a commercial contract? Even if the template used in this traditional contract creation method is, in fact, the latest and up-to-date version (and version control is a whole other challenge), you can see why this is both highly inefficient and prone to human error. So, you might be thinking, there has to be a better way of drafting — one that doesn’t involve a tug of war between the legal team with other departments for control over contracts. You’re right. And it was on these premises that document assembly solutions first saw the light of day. How does document assembly work? Simply put, the most common approach to document assembly involves a user answering questions about key contractual terms. The answers then form the basis of an automatically generated contract. There are a few different approaches, but the most common one is questionnaire-based drafting. Simply put, the most common approach to document assembly involves a user answering questions about key contractual terms. The answers then form the basis of an automatically generated contract. In essence, automated document assembly provides a very low-maintenance solution to low-risk, decentralized contract creation. The basis of the automated contract is the legal function’s latest, up-to-date and compliant template. So there is no room for mistakes, oversights or unapproved amendments during the drafting process. Rather, in a one-time setup, questions are created on the variable parts of the contract, such as names, dates and governing law. The user is then asked these questions when running the template through the automated drafting process. Today’s more advanced document assembly solutions even allow conditional text. In practice, this means that certain clauses are included or excluded depending on the input from the user. For instance, if the user selects mediation as the preferred dispute resolution process, a block of text outlining how the mediation is to be carried out would automatically be included. Similarly, the user could be asked to choose between a selection of clauses with varying levels of restrictiveness or favorability for one party or another. Then, only the selected clause would be included in the final agreement. The benefits of automation If you aren’t currently taking an automated approach to contract drafting, you’re probably aching to find out how such a solution could be implemented in your organization. But, if you need to convince someone before jumping on the automation train (a CxO or the IT department, for instance), here are a few quick benefits of contract automation that should pique their interest: Creating a contract using a document assembly solution only takes a minute or two. Anyone, even without a legal background, is able to create risk-free contracts. Everyone will be able to produce compliant contracts in a consistent manner. No. More. Extensive. Proofreading. Hallelujah! Last but definitely not least, document assembly allows for templates to be centrally managed to ensure that everyone is always using the latest version — completely removing frustrating and tedious version control issues. A common example of how document assembly helps organizations become more efficient is by reducing the friction between legal and sales teams. There is an inherent tension between the objectives of these two teams. On the one hand, salespeople are driven by closing more deals as fast as possible. While the legal team is focused on minimizing risk and legal exposure to the business. The former can often lead to unauthorized amendments and faulty contracts, causing severe headaches for the latter. By using a document assembly solution, the salespeople are able to generate agreements in a minute or two, while the company’s legal functions can focus on high-level tasks that are of strategic and complex nature, instead of micromanaging outgoing contracts. To put the benefits into further context, another example can be found in the commercial banking sector. This is a highly regulated industry where document accuracy is crucial. Contractual mistakes can be devastating, often leading to both fines and reputational damage. By using a document assembly solution and thereby minimizing human involvement in contracting processes, banks are able to minimize risk and focus on delivering their services cheaper, better and faster. The contract management system Contract management is about managing contracts so as to maximize their value, all while reducing financial risk. This can be incredibly time-consuming and tedious but is important for maximizing operational and financial performance at an organization. This is where a contract management system comes into play. Managing contracts is nothing new and neither are the systems. In fact, if being used to manage contracts, regular cloud storages or even filing cabinets could be referred to as “contract management systems” — albeit extremely rudimentary ones! What is, however, fairly new and ever-evolving are the automated capacities of today’s digital, dedicated and purpose-built contract management systems. For instance, such systems can offer end-user permission levels combined with automated approval workflows. This sort of functionality doesn’t just control who can make edits to contract terms and clauses but also ensures that the contract is approved by an authorized member of your organization before it’s issued. Permission levels and access control tools can also ensure that your most important and sensitive documents can only be accessed by certain members of your organization, such as the C-suite, heads of departments or middle management. Furthermore, a sophisticated contract management system can also include automated notification features. By automating notifications, you can rest assured that important events such as expiration and renewal dates never pass unnoticed. The divide Returning to the topic of this article, many, but far from all, contract management systems of today include document assembly solutions. Solutions can be divided into two categories — point solutions and platforms. The point solutions address one or a pair of very closely related and very specific areas of contracting, such as document assembly, monitoring or even simply archiving. On the other hand, software platforms include features that address multiple parts of the contract lifecycle. For instance, document assembly, control tools, e-signing, archiving and monitoring. When all of these functionalities are combined, it’s called a contract lifecycle management platform — a platform for successfully managing contracts all the way from request to renewal or termination. It may be tempting to choose a point solution that will solve the most crucial pain points of your contracting processes. To begin with, a point solution may appear to be far cheaper than a platform. However, there are a few factors that will probably make you lean towards a platform instead. It’s particularly important to be aware that having multiple single-task point solutions can rack up a hefty fee quite quickly — especially if the licenses are user-based and you need to expand your contracting headcount. Often, a platform will be the cheaper option in the long run. Second, usability could become an issue if you aren’t extremely thorough in your procurement process. Keep in mind that all of these point solutions will probably need to integrate with each other to provide a holistic and well-working system. If the point solutions don’t offer out-of-the-box integrations with one another, customized integration could leave you with a hefty development bill. Finally, if your system consists of a handful of separate but integrated point solutions systems, support can become messy. Diagnosing, identifying and connecting the source of the error can become a difficult and often drawn-out process — and valuable time that could be spent on contract success is instead spent trying to get a hold of multiple support teams. Wrapping up — 1+1=3 The benefits of combining a document assembly solution and a contract management system into one platform are many. In addition to the logistical issues which can be avoided, platforms inherently create significant synergies, leading to a result much more impactful than the functionality offered by the two solutions in isolation. An end-to-end platform solution which incorporates by document creation and contact management can allow anyone to easily produce a compliant contract by simply answering a few questions. Then, the document can be routed to an authorized approver through an automated approval workflow. When the contract has been created, approved and signed, platforms with sophisticated contract management capabilities can even allow for automated archiving. This means that the signed document is automatically archived in the correct place in the digital archive right away and is easily accessible by everyone with authority to view it. Other benefits of using an advanced contracting platform include extensive metadata functions. Metadata points, such as a documents expiry date, can automatically be generated when producing the contract through the platform’s document assembly feature. This means that the documents expiry date is automatically tracked in the contract management part of the platform without any additional effort or input from the end-user.

In this post, we’ll set out a practical guide to communicating the benefits of contract management software to your internal stakeholders. By following these steps, we’re confident that you’ll have approval faster than you can say “no-brainer”. If you’re reading this, you probably know the basic principles of contract lifecycle management . You’re probably also across the benefits of contract management and how a modern software solution can help you and your team work more efficiently, decrease costs, reduce risks and remove many of the headaches of traditional contracting . If you’re a budding contract champion, you’ll know all about how automated contract creation and drafting solutions and artificial intelligence (AI) are changing the way many companies manage their contracting processes for the better. Now, let’s take a look at how to compile your extensive knowledge into a solid business case. Despite all of the benefits of modern contract management software, there will still be someone in your organization that needs convincing and it’s your job to build the business case. To do this, we suggest working through the key questions the decision maker/s in your organization are likely to have. Once you’ve done this, you’ll have a robust contract management system business case that’s simply too compelling to turn down. To be frank, outside the legal department, many people feel that contracts are just a cumbersome layer of red tape which just get in the way of doing business and creating real value. Most may not have given any thought to how to manage contracts or why this even matters. A good place to start is by reframing the very notion of contracts as a record of the relationships that drive a business forward. And contract management strategy as a means of cultivating of these relationships and the value they represent. Contracts ‘set the tone for the relationship’, especially in more strategically important interactions. — Tim Cummins , President of the International Association for Contract & Commercial Management (IACCM) It’s also a good time to flag that not caring about contract management can also significantly impact the bottom line. Indeed, a study by the IACCM found that organizations stand to lose approximately 9.2% of annual revenue by having weak contract management practices. From a basic understanding of contracts as a key business asset, you can tailor your message about why your organization needs to invest in improving contract management processes based on the specific values of the decision maker you’re aiming to convince. It goes without saying that pitching a contract management solution to your CFO will call for a robust focus on ROI. While seeking approval for implementation of the same solution from your GC will benefit from a greater emphasis on time-saving benefits and control over templates and approval processes. The CEO will likely be motivated by all of these factors, but also find particular appeal in the opportunity to increase interdepartmental collaboration and gain a clear overview of all of the business’ contractual relationships. When building your business case it’s important to know who you’re looking to convince and tailor your approach accordingly. Once you’ve established which decision maker(s) you’re targeting, the next step is to outline exactly what you’re asking for. Most often this will be the allocation of budget for a new contract management solution. But it will also typically include buy-in from relevant departments or team members to adopt the new solution and change existing contract management processes. We recommend setting out the required investment in full and with as much clarity as possible, including details about: The total spend for the relevant budget period (month, quarter and/or year) — for example: [Company] will buy [contract management system] on a subscription basis for an initial period of [period] at a cost of [$$$] per month/quarter/year. How the new solution will be implemented — for example: With the support of [Provider]’s contract conversion service, we will transform our existing templates for frequently used contracts, for use with the new system. It will then be deployed to replace [A], [B] and [C] legacy systems. Who will be the first users — for example: The initial deployment will cover [#] users in [first team/user group]. What successful implementation will look like (making sure this is both realistic and measurable) — for example: If the initial deployment is successful — i.e. all [#] users using the system to generate [#] contracts each within the first three months — we will expand implementation to [#] users in [second team/user group]. What will happen after the first implementation period, if successful: If the solution is successful at the end of [Period 1] — i.e. all users are routinely using the solution and provide positive feedback on their experience — we will extend our subscription for an additional [period] and roll it out to additional users/departments. As with any commercial decision, it’s important to make the measurable, financial benefits of your proposal clear. After clearly presenting the required investment, you need to show how and when the return on investment (ROI) will justify the costs. It has been estimated that inefficient contracting causes firms to lose between 5% to 40% of value on a given deal, depending on circumstances. — Harvard Business Review The specific value levers and metrics to determine the ROI will vary depending on the nature of your business. But, generally speaking, the ROI delivered by a modern contract management solution can be broken into two categories: Cost savings Increased revenues You’ll need to crunch the numbers on the cost of your organization’s current contracting procedures across each stage of the contract lifecycle. To give some perspective, a study by the IACCM estimated that the average cost of processing a basic, low-risk contract for a large business is US$6,900, including over 40 hours of time involving various in-house personnel. Collecting similar data on your organization’s current contract processes—including the people involved and the time they spend—can help build a very compelling case for the cost savings that will be realized via a contract management software solution. In terms of increased revenue, we suggest gathering and presenting data on how a contract management solution will enable your business to: Create and get contracts out faster Spend less time on contract negotiations and close deals faster Facilitate inter-party collaboration and result in more contracts being signed Monitor deadlines so that appropriate action can be taken to renew favourable contracts and renegotiate or terminate those which do not create value. The data which you decide to collect and present will depend on the nature of your contract management business requirements and which numbers are most appropriate and compelling for your audience. We all know that money talks, but sometimes it doesn’t say it all. This is true in the context of contract management solutions. So it’s highly relevant to include the non-financial benefits of your chosen contract management solution in your business case too. Here are some we think are definitely worth mentioning: Increased control over contract templates and standardized wording — reduces legal risk and eliminates tedious version control issues Improved collaboration — internally and with counterparts, resulting in improved relationships between internal teams/colleagues and with external business partners Improved firm image — using a modern contract management solution communicates that you’re a modern company, this is especially relevant for employer branding Improved organizational intelligence — accessibility of all contracts stored in a purpose-built centralized repository Access to digital transaction trails with quick, easy and legally binding e-signing Greater ability to remain data protection compliant Increased ability to capture data from contracts — allowing the business to take advantage of best practice for contract analytics and reporting Increased employee satisfaction — automating monotonous administrative tasks allows the business team to focus on what really matters to them In this day and age, countless providers pitch technologies to help companies optimize all manner of processes and workflows. So it’s understandable that decision makers bring a healthy dose of skepticism to these tools and whether people will actually adopt the new solution you’re proposing. Adoption is obviously key to realizing the financial and non-financial benefits outlined above. So you’ll need to cover it separately and explicitly in your business case. There are two parts to this. First, when choosing contract management software, it’s critical to find a solution that’s straightforward and easy to adopt — particularly by team members with no legal and/or IT expertise. At a minimum, you’ll need a plug and play solution that requires no programming for set-up and has an intuitive user interface. For greater ease of adoption, look for an option that includes self-serve functionality, such as questionnaire-based drafting. (This will allow everyone and anyone on your team to create compliant and consistent contracts regardless of background or expertise.) Second, make sure your chosen solution includes accessible and holistic support — especially during the initial set up and template conversion process. Some contract management solutions on the market have additional costs for setup, user training and/or template conversion. Watch out for these when scoping out your options and make sure that all relevant costs are included in, and justified by, your business case. Once you’ve built your case and gotten the tick of approval, it’s important to have a clear vision for the next steps to implement and roll out your chosen solution. Of course, a good contract management solution will support you to get started . But it’s important to think about practical issues such as: Who will be the lead user and go through the process of setting up the new system? Which teams and users will be the first to use the system? How will users be transitioned away from existing contract management processes and onto the new system? This will show that you’ve considered how the new solution will impact the business and also help stakeholders make the most of the amazing new resource you’ve just secured for them (high-five!). A recent study by Clyde & Co, found that the top reason for the lack of adoption of legal tech at the companies surveyed was “difficulty in getting budget” — not that the budget did not exist, but that the teams seeking the investment struggled to build a business case to open the purse strings at a leadership level. We hope that this post will help you overcome this by communicating the wealth of benefits contract management software can bring your organization. In the eyes of General Counsel by far the biggest barrier is not a lack of appropriate technology but difficulty in securing budget. — Clyde & Co If you have any questions or would like to know more about contract automation and management, we’re here to help.

Companies often have some form of contract management process. However, it’s not unusual that the process for handling contracts is inefficient. Actually, companies lose approximately 9.2% of their annual revenue by having weak practices for managing contracts (IACCM – ‘ROI of Contract Management’). The lack of an efficient process implies losses in form of missed cost reductions as well as lost business opportunities. In the following, I will present Contract creation takes a lot of time — even for the ones who draft the same type of contract over and over again. Although the same contract is used recurrently, one starts off by copy-pasting a little and finishes the creation process by reading through the contract every time to make sure that nothing undesirable has changed. In other words, a quality assuring process is carried out before many deals or hiring of new staff — even if the contract has been reviewed and proofread once. This is unnecessarily time-consuming. Get a quality-assured contract in just a matter of minutes simply by answering a few questions The solution? Contract templates! When it comes to recurring contracts, such as purchase agreements or employment agreements, only certain parts change from contract to contract. Price, salary, notice period, contract parties and maybe purchase object. By protecting the template from changes to other parts than the varying ones, you can eliminate the need to thoroughly review the contract after every draft. Not only will you save a significant amount of time by using templates, your team’s understanding of your contractual obligations will increase and contract negotiations will become more efficient. With contract management software, the . Get a quality-assured contract in just a matter of minutes simply by answering a few questions. Time is money. Kind of a cliché, yet true and important to have in mind. I’ve seen many companies losing time and money by dragging on approvals. Basically, the reality often looks like this: the contract is created, negotiated and ready to sign. But before signing the contract, it must be approved by upper management (such as the company’s CEO). As a matter of fact, it’s not the contract creation or actual signing that wastes most time. It’s the time between creation and approval! The contract is held up — and as a consequence, the business opportunity might get lost. It’s not the contract creation or actual signing that wastes most time. It’s the time between creation and approval! When you’ve created templates for your recurring contracts, it will be easy to streamline processes for approvals. Basically, the authorized employee(s) only needs to proofread certain parts of the agreement. You can take the process to the next level by creating a workflow that automatically alerts the authorized person(s) when the contract is ready for approval. I’ve seen companies doing this in a very successful way by using . Simply move the card representing the contract between the boards. Once the contract has been created and approved, the signing process is initiated. Manual signing wastes time — a lot of time. The paper needs to be managed, indexed and archived. Manual signatures also increase the time to signing. Think about it. Not only does one need to print the document (which of course isn’t good for the environment). The signees might not even be in the same room, town or even country. This is of course especially painful when a handful of signees need to put their name on the contract. More time is spent, fewer deals are done. Manual signatures increase the time to signing. More time is spent, less deals are done. Using have a lot of benefits and I will mention some. It allows you and your team to minimize the time spent on managing paper. Often, the electronic signatures also automatically index and archive your contracts. No more scanning. Moreover, you can reduce (or even eliminate) costs related to manually preparing and shipping stacks of paper. And sometimes most importantly: electronic signatures are more secure. I mean, how hard is it to imitate one’s manual signature? I often get the question whether electronic signatures are legally binding or not and the simple answer is: yes! Electronic signatures from Precisely are legally binding in 99,99 % of all cases. They are compliant with regulations within the European Union (see Regulation No 910/2014 – ) as well as in the U.S. (see Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act – and Uniform Electronic Transactions Act – ). Electronic signatures are legally binding in 99,99 % of all cases! Many contracts in companies are gone. Actually, on average, ten percent of all contracts in a company have completely disappeared. The reason is simple: contracts are often scattered all over the organization. Some are in physical binders, some in the cloud, and some in the email inbox. In turn, this makes it easy to forget where the specific contract is stored. Consequently, companies need a system for storing and archiving their contracts. Since contracts often are tools to maintain a good relationship between the parties, the consequences of a lost contract can be devastating for the business. The solutions are many, as long as the contracts are kept in one place. Personally, I prefer digital archiving since it makes the contracts searchable and easy to find. Next time you’re looking for a contract, any contract, you know where to find it. Today, many companies experience a lot of pain related to a lack of overview of their contracts. The same goes for companies of all sizes. One basically needs to read through every contract in order to remember the contractual rights and obligations related to each contract. One reason behind the lack of overview is of course—as mentioned above—that the contracts are scattered all over the company. Another reason is the fact that it basically is impossible to get such an overview without the help of digital means, which is the reason why physical binders in a physical archive is an unsatisfactory solution. Easily get an overview of what contract-related actions you need to take the upcoming time However, this is an easily solved problem. Once each contract has been signed and executed, create your own reminders in a dedicated contract calendar. For instance, you can set an alert one week before the contract needs to be renegotiated or terminated. By keeping the reminders and alerts in one place (i.e. in your contract calendar), you can easily get an overview of what contract-related actions you need to take the upcoming time. In order to mitigate the risk of missing your alerts in case of e.g. staff turnovers, you should (in the best of all possible worlds) be at least two persons in the company with access to the calendar. This is especially relevant for long-term contracts. Never miss an important deadline again.

What about the other 0,01 %? In some rare cases, there are provisions in specific laws that state that the contracts need to have a certain form (e.g. that they have to be written and signed on physical paper). In Sweden, for instance, it’s basically only relevant for purchase agreements regarding real estate and site-leasehold rights. pa|Digital transformation is challenging many legal paradigms.

She made a good point during her presentation — someone has to dare to take the lead for others to follow — and the same goes for contract management. Digitizing your contract management process might present some challenges, but it will most likely pay off within a short time frame. One just needs to take the first step! Fiskars is a public company established in Finland in 1649, with a portfolio of numerous globally recognized brands and products in more than 100 countries. The company owns 400 stores resulting in net sales of 1,090 million EUR in 2019. Before joining Fiskars as their VP Legal in 2018, Åsa worked for Swedish telecom giant Ericsson since 2000, who then started a mobile phone JV with Sony in 2001 (which in turn became 100% owned by Sony) where the last five years were in the capacity of VP Legal & Head of Legal. She has always appreciated working close to, and in cooperation with, the business. With extensive experience from working for large enterprises in industries of constant change, Åsa knows that the legal department needs to be as agile as any other part of the company for the business to survive. “There are usually no clear answers to legal questions and you need to live by the approach of trial and error, especially in industries that are young and are driving technology forward”, Åsa says. One of the General Counsel’s most important roles in building a contract management process is educating colleagues about contract-related ownership . The owner of a contract could, for instance, be the sales manager closing the deal and with this comes certain established routines. This includes following up on each party’s rights and obligations in the contract with internal stakeholders as well as implementing the contract once signed. At Fiskars, contract owners are responsible for 80-90% of the contract-related tasks. Legal is the function in charge of overseeing legal implications of the contract, but the content is negotiated by the main stakeholders — and is also supposed to be implemented by them. Many stakeholders with different responsibilities are involved: Preparing, negotiating, implementing, monitoring, and compliance checking. Then it starts all over again. If the contracts are kept in order, the contract management process is easier for everyone. As long as everyone understands their responsibilities and where contracts are to be found throughout the whole contract lifecycle, you’ve come a long way. Working as in-house counsel and General Counsel for large and well-established companies may require taking on challenges in creative ways. The main way of growing Fiskars lately has been through strategic M&As (Mergers & Acquisitions) of brands in local markets in Europe, Japan, China and the US, where the company already owns brands like Royal Copenhagen, Iittala and Wedgwood. Acquiring an established company with set structures poses challenges for the Legal Department. It’s important to understand the ways an organization has been working with contract management prior to the acquisition. In addition, being creative and pedagogical is vital when implementing new ways of managing contracts in order to streamline the process between organizations. One must never forget the change management aspect of implementing a new process. As an example, Åsa mentions the challenge of changing structures for approval workflows and signatures. Some of the old structures she’s working with are still relying on the legal department to approve all documents that require signing, and are sometimes also hesitant to new ways of working such as, for instance, the use of e-signatures. It’s important for Fiskars’ Legal to make sure that new policies are implemented and that the approval processes are made efficient by having the right person (with the right authority) approve the contracts. Which isn’t always someone in Legal. Being a front runner and pedagogical about using, for example, e-signatures is one way of implementing a more efficient contract management process. The Legal Department and the rest of the business alike have to be agile and try to picture what the company will be working with in the future. Will it still be a product company, or will it perhaps turn into a service company or both in different combinations? When Åsa started working for Ericsson, legal work was directed towards hardware and sourcing by 80%. But in her last years at Sony, the focus switched to 80% on software and services as the industry had pivoted. On the same note, one of Fiskars’ brands, Iittala , is working on a new service called Vintage . Vintage enables customers to sell and as well as find and buy parts of their old porcelain collections. As the business develops and changes, new legal questions arise. Fiskars’ Legal team is constantly working on keeping processes and policies up to date to keep the contract management as efficient as possible. Methods that enable an efficient process are, for example, the use of global templates. Such methods are required in large companies, both for contract management to work and to make it easier to do business. Controlling contracts in these companies is key in order to be able to analyze them and do proper risk assessments. Implementing and analyzing your contracts is vital for maximizing the outcome, while staying on top of your templates is important to make sure that contracts are executed in a compliant way. “Whether you work for an enterprise or a startup, you’ll need to perform the analysis and use the resources at your disposal. If the company has limited resources, use free storage alternatives online and excel sheets. You still need to keep track of your contracts even if your company doesn’t have an in-house lawyer.” Åsa affirms. If a company is constantly late with payments and needs to pay penalty fees, you’ll need to revise the payment logistics. Knowing the compliance risks and financial risks the contracts entail is essential too. When Åsa worked at Ericsson, the Swedish branch of the company was always at the forefront regarding contract management. They were working closely with the sourcing department to build their system for contract management. “If your company has a Sourcing Department, it’s usually a good place to start when implementing contract management and a contract data system. Sourcing often works more systematically and is often more mature in working with agreements and using systems compared to, for example, a Sales or Marketing Department. Of course, this depends on the industry and regulatory landscape you’re working in, but it’s good advice in general.” “You just have to start somewhere! There are many useful tools for contract management today. You need to have some kind of system for storing your contracts and to manage the obligations and privileges and how they affect the business.” “ If you start using e-signing, for instance, you’ll quickly realize that you won’t go back to paper copies and that the traceability is much better. Legal Departments should be pioneers, dare to take risks and try to make life easier for other departments. It’s important that they are not a blocker. Therefore, it’s better to have a system that’s good enough than no system at all.” Wrapping up, Åsa gives some tips for figures of thought that provide the most impact: “Don’t give up! Find your ‘super users’ for contracts within every department and work with them when implementing new systems or workflows. They can help you educate others within their departments. What can sometimes be challenging is changing people’s habits and mindsets.” “ Successful contract management is a lot about having a can-do attitude and empowering your colleagues by educating and coaching. Give them the capability to be in control of what they’re doing and show them the impact of the result. This will free time for both Legal and other departments and let them focus on what matters.” “Make sure to keep a close dialogue with other departments and try to understand the way they’re working. At some point you may have to put an end to ways that aren’t compliant but apart from that, try making a strategy for implementing your processes into the way they work.” “ Again, don’t give up, if you don’t see results on day one, the results will come eventually. Dare to start the contract management process and start small, then grow the process. You’ll regret it if you don’t get started since your organization certainly won’t have fewer contracts to handle going forward.“ “Check with other General Counsels in your network and ask what providers they are using.

Åsa on how to start implementing a contract management process Åsa’s final tips Wrapping up pa|Allowing business departments to be self-serving while remaining within Legal’s pre-approved guidelines isn’t easy without sophisticated tech solutions. Especially when managing a constantly increasing volume of contract-related tasks. NA-KD works with Precisely to automate their contract processes and NA-KD is a Swedish company launched in early 2016 with the goal of challenging the offline retail giants by working as an online, virtual and direct-to-consumer brand. Now one of Europe’s 20 fastest growing companies, NA-KD is breaking new records every month. They pride themselves in stellar customer service and their persistent engagement in consistently launching new collections to stay on top of – and set – today’s fashion trends across the globe. In his role as General Counsel at NA-KD, Damien Boutigny’s primary role is to support business needs and innovations in order to facilitate growth. His responsibilities are to help all NA-KD’s projects to go through by considering long-term impact on business strategy and shareholder value. These tasks are largely carried out through contract management efforts from reviewing and drafting to negotiating with; and managing suppliers. “Precisely shows our business partners that we are a truly digital company and customer-focused brand.” Like for most newly created companies, processes were mainly manual early-on. NA-KD were experiencing various challenges, such as lack of transparency or inefficient contract approval process and needed a solution to better allocate time and resources. “Our legal department was swamped with requests for new drafts, tracking, signatures, and more. The required tools for successfully tracking renewals weren’t in place and templates were scattered throughout the organization”, Damien explains. “Our legal department was swamped with requests for new drafts, tracking, signatures, and more.” With a constantly increasing volume of contract management-related tasks, NA-KD needed to find an automated way of streamlining the entire contract process. They needed a provider that solved their contract needs as well as gave the legal department and upper management a better overview of the operations. To support growth, you need to streamline and automate as many processes as possible, including legal operations and contract management. When NA-KD was looking at contract management providers, saving time on contract generation was the main goal. They were looking for something completely digital — a single flexible platform. Flexibility and usability were crucial as they needed a platform that worked for Legal as well as other departments such as HR and Marketing to help them scale their processes. Most of NA-KD’s agreements are generated by people without a legal background, so the solution had to be simple and easy to use. The legal department found it essential to find a platform that could improve compliance management, enable reporting and give a good overview of the organization’s contracts. They needed a platform where everything was stored in one place, easy to retrieve and where they could stay on top of renewals. With Precisely, NA-KD have reached a simpler way of managing and automating contracts as well as increasing speed and reducing friction when closing deals. “The time to generate a contract is depending on the complexity of the agreement. But where previously it would take 10 minutes to set up a simple NDA, with Precisely it takes less than two minutes — from generating the agreement to sending it for e-signing. Precisely had a real impact on closing deals with our influencers. The whole agreement generation process has been reduced from between 20 and 30 minutes to 5 to 10 minutes”, says Damien. The feedback Damien received from the other teams was that the Precisely platform is quick, easy to use, and that they are now able to sign their agreements and close deals faster. Precisely’s questionnaire-based drafting tool and UX/UI is a key enabler for NA-KD’s entire organization. It allows the business departments to self-serve and automate contract drafting, while still keeping them within the legal department’s pre-approved guidelines. “We now have no scanning, no printing, no lost binders and an easy to use platform that allows our teams to focus on what really matters. Saving time on generating contracts had a huge impact on our ability to manage new businesses and to sign new influencers”, Damien explains. “The various workflows we have set up improve our visibility into what our teams are sending out. It increases our teams’ productivity in closing deals, and helps the organization to reduce and mitigate risks by always using up-to-date templates, approval processes and so on. The archiving system gives a possibility to quickly examine and check our contracts. The entire contract management process is improved since the entire team can easily submit and upload any type of document under the supervision of Legal and Management”, he continues. NA-KD gradually deployed the tools throughout the organization, starting with the purchasing team since they work with a lot of suppliers. At that time, NA-KD needed to send out new Terms and Conditions for all of their suppliers to sign and were able to do so within a very short time frame using Precisely. “The results were seen early as we were able to easily scale up the signing and tracking process for more than 90 partners. As for our influencer team, they now create 5-6 new collaboration agreements per week in a breeze. We can now support the contract volume that correlates to the growth rate of the company. We skip the repetitive process of drafting the same contract over and over by using pre-approved templates that are accessible at any time. Our contracts are now generated in minutes”, Damien says. He further explains that one of the main successes for him personally is that it’s now easier to pitch new legal tech for e.g. protecting IP rights. Precisely has been a great internal case for the use of legal tech. “Starting to work with your solution has done an excellent job in raising awareness internally for the importance of automating legal operations. Legal departments must definitely embrace new technologies for gaining efficiency and increasing transparency.

At the same time, finding ways to mitigate risk and make contract management more efficient—for all departments—lifts the challenge to another level. By using Precisely, Key Solutions is in the process. Key Solutions is a Swedish sales agency focused on helping companies increase their customer intake through activities such as blanketing growth strategies. This includes everything from business development to creative campaigns and engaging with customers. With their high-trust culture, they have been named one of Europe’s best workplaces by Great Place to Work® for seven consecutive years. Karvan Guldstierna is the company’s Head of Sales, or rather “Head of People” as they call it. As Head of People, he is responsible for all employees and the IT systems they use. It was Karvan who structured the use of Precisely for the different departments within Key Solutions. In their case, HR, Sales and Management are the ones who draft agreements most often. Key Solutions’ contract process was fairly complex before implementing Precisely. Their workflows were similar to that of the Precisely platform but were lacking structure and control. Updating templates and distributing them was a challenge in itself and, as a result, the company was exposed to high risk whenever employees used the wrong templates. To prepare contracts for signing, employees would fill out .pdf-templates. However, Management needed to update the templates from time to time and ensure that everyone was using the latest versions of the templates, which was complicated. Before Key Solutions used electronic signatures, they depended on the people managing the contracts to sign them. This meant that they had to print the contracts and physically hand them over. Producing a contract, which included drafting, archiving and entering the contracts into different systems was a time-consuming process. “Just making an edit to a template could take up to one hour. With Precisely, it takes us 30 seconds”, says Karvan. “Using Precisely has digitized the drafting process too. Today, it only takes a minute to draft an agreement. We can draft a tailor-made agreement from the template with just three clicks. It saves us a lot of time and energy and reduces the number of questions from our employees”, says Karvan. “Apart from assuring that contracts always have the right content, streamlining the drafting process has been a large improvement. I don’t have to spend time drafting agreements or even be involved anymore. And, since the system is so user-friendly, I just set up the templates that will enable others to draft countless compliant agreements”, Karvan explains. “You have to ask yourself ‘what is the cost of our contracts per hour spent?’. And what are the costs if something goes wrong?”, says Karvan, “Using the wrong template or having agreements end up in the wrong hands can cause large legal expenses”. “The time we save by using Precisely easily equals what a full-time employee would cost each month, which is a major efficiency improvement”, Karvan continues. “The ability to guarantee that everyone is using the latest version of templates and the reduction of time spent on each contract has streamlined the entire contract management process”. When Key Solutions were implementing the platform, they also did a legal review of all of their agreements. This included compliance-checking all of their templates and automating them in Precisely. “Our challenge was to find the kind of efficiency that one could only hope for. In Precisely, we have found a platform that even exceeds our expectations. We got in touch via a referral and didn’t know what to expect at first. But once we started using the system… It is world-class!”, says Karvan. One of the departments that has greatly benefited from using Precisely’s automated templates is HR. Specifically in instances where employment contracts are similar and yet carry important differences; as could be the case for their sales representatives. For instance, the work equipment included in traveling salespeople’s employment agreements differs significantly from in-house salespeople. In the past, Key Solutions had a single employment agreement template for both types of positions, which wasn’t differentiating whether the person was in-house or out in the field. This could lead to the agreements containing parts that didn’t apply to the employee in question, which could quickly become problematic if a contract contained erroneous non-compete or salary content. Another great benefit is showcased when NDA’s (Non-Disclosure Agreements) need to be signed during meetings. Key Solutions can now provide the counterparty with the NDA for review and e-signing while a meeting is in session. “We used to have to interrupt the meeting to send the NDA for feedback and review by the counterparty’s legal department etc. It could take weeks before we could proceed with the negotiations”, says Karvan. “It’s easier for all parties now. The counterparty gets the agreement by email, can review and e-sign it in a smooth and neat way and the negotiations can go on without interruption”, says Karvan. Key Solutions can now mitigate risk by guaranteeing that everyone is using the latest version of the templates. They are a company in constant growth, with new products and business areas continuously emerging. With Precisely, they have a contract management system that supports their growth. “We’re a modern company at the forefront of digitization. We need a contract management platform that reflects that – and that’s what Precisely is to us!”, says Karvan.
