Many procurement teams are exploring AI as a way to move beyond basic contract retrieval and toward intelligent, outcome-oriented uses of contract data. Add in an orchestration layer for all the AI pieces, and the resulting contract lifecycle management (CLM) solution has the potential to improve accuracy, usability, and scalability.

In this Live session, we talk about how Procurement’s utilization of AI-enabled CLM is starting to rival even Legal’s. The discussion will draw on real-world examples of how self-service access to contract information is changing the way legal, procurement, finance, and operations teams engage with contract data, reducing bottlenecks and improving commercial outcomes. Our speakers will answer live questions about:

1. Common AI use cases and workflows that fall within the typical contract lifecycle

2. What ‘data availability’ means in the context of agreements and how wider access is increasing company-wide understanding of commitments

3. The value of standardizing contract terms, especially for the sake of obligation management and exposure assessment
