Current State vs Future State Comparison

Current State

(Traditional)
  1. Contract Creation: Initiate the contract creation process by drafting the contract using templates.
  2. Contract Review: Send the draft for internal review via email or collaboration tools.
  3. Contract Approval: Obtain necessary approvals from stakeholders, often tracked manually or via email.
  4. Contract Execution: Finalize and execute the contract, typically using electronic signatures or physical signatures.
  5. Contract Storage: Store the executed contract in a centralized repository, often a shared drive or document management system.
  6. Monitoring Obligations: Set reminders and alerts for key dates (renewals, expirations, compliance deadlines) using calendars or task management tools.
  7. Performance Tracking: Regularly review contract performance against obligations and KPIs, often done through manual reporting.
  8. Reporting: Generate reports on contract status and performance for management review, usually compiled in Excel or similar tools.
  9. Contract Renewal/Termination: Initiate renewal or termination processes based on monitoring outcomes.

Characteristics

  • Microsoft Excel
  • Email (Outlook, Gmail)
  • Document Management Systems (e.g., SharePoint)
  • Contract Management Software (e.g., Agiloft, Icertis)
  • Task Management Tools (e.g., Asana, Trello)

Pain Points

  • Manual data entry is time-consuming
  • Process is error-prone
  • Limited visibility into process status
  • Limited visibility into contract performance and compliance
  • High dependency on manual processes increases the risk of oversight
  • Fragmented systems lead to data silos
  • Inability to generate real-time insights

Future State

(Agentic)

The orchestrator receives a request to create a contract, triggering the Contract Creation Agent to draft the contract using templates. Once drafted, the Contract Review Agent collects feedback and manages revisions. After approval, the Contract Monitoring Agent sets reminders for key dates and tracks performance. The Reporting Agent compiles performance data into reports for management review. The Data Integration Agent ensures seamless data flow between systems.

Characteristics

  • System data
  • Historical data

Benefits

  • Reduces time for Monitoring & Tracking for Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM)
  • Improves accuracy
