The times they are a-changing.
When it was originally developed, contract lifecycle management (CLM) software was designed to address a narrow scope of a contract’s lifecycle and focused on relatively simple use cases.
But that has changed. Contracts are now strategic assets for businesses and CLM is essential enterprise-level software. Rapidly advancing technology and the emergence of AI-first providers has spurred the rise of a new generation of full-lifecycle CLM platforms.
Join our exclusive webinar on Oct 25 for an in-depth look at what full-lifecycle CLM really means, and how it connects various enterprise teams and systems to drive unprecedented speed and intelligence across the contracting process. The webinar features a panel of three thought leaders with unique CLM perspectives - Dr. Matthias Schwenke, Partner, Legal Business Solutions, PwC; Paul Branch Chief Networking Officer, WorldCC; and Evangelos Apostolou, General Counsel, SirionLabs.
