Reducing Contract Cycle Time by 40% Through a Unified CLM Platform
The challenge
A rapidly growing technology company was managing contracts across six disparate systems — shared drives, email threads, a legacy document management tool, and three departmental spreadsheets. The legal team could not produce a reliable inventory during quarter-end, and sales complained about unpredictable turnaround times.
Our solution
Contment conducted a full current-state assessment and led a vendor-neutral CLM selection process, evaluating five platforms against the company's specific requirements. After selecting Ironclad, we managed configuration workshops, built template families aligned to sales segments, and ran a phased rollout with embedded office hours and executive scorecards.
The result
Within six months of go-live, the legal team reported a 40% reduction in average contract cycle time, a 75% reduction in time spent on administrative contract tasks, and a 95% user adoption rate across originating functions.
