Contract Lifecycle Management

Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) is the structured, end-to-end process of creating, managing, executing, and analyzing contracts to maximize operational performance, mitigate risk, and ensure compliance. Spanning initiation, authoring, negotiation, approval, execution, obligation management, amendments, renewal, and closeout, CLM helps organizations gain control over contract-related activities and outcomes. Advanced CLM solutions integrate automation, AI, and analytics to accelerate cycle times, reduce legal and compliance risks, and unlock commercial value from contractual agreements. By centralizing data and standardizing processes, CLM enhances visibility, governance, and cross-functional collaboration, making it a critical enabler of enterprisewide efficiency and strategic vendor, customer, and partner management.
