Contract analytics is the process of reviewing an organization’s contracts to identify and extract data from them leading to better risk management. With Contract Analytics, transforming your legal documents which also includes legacy agreements and hard copies into structured data and insight drives value, reduces risk, and improves the efficiency of legal operation teams.

Research consistently shows that commercial and contracting issues lie at the heart of 70-75% of failing projects, resulting in an average of 9.2% of annual revenue leakage.

What are the benefits of Contract Analytics?

Contract analytics improves the business performance of organizations by providing visibility of risks, obligations, and opportunities in their contracts. It gives a clearer picture of contract hotspots. It is the responsibility of In-house Counsels and Legal Operations to manage and quantify risk and compliance.

Contract Analytics allows In-house Counsels and legal Operations to oversee hundreds of thousands of contracts and agreements in your company to ensure they aren’t hiding any obligations, service level agreement metrics, or other liabilities that could expose the company to risk. By providing quick and easy access to your contractual provisions data, it allows you to respond to an audit request or an organizational change quickly and efficiently.
