Agreement Manager

Procurement teams lose time and money due to manual contract intake, review, and approvals. By automating these workflows with Docusign, the YMCA of Greater Philadelphia routes 90% of requests through a single digital front door while slashing agreement review time by 50%.

Poor contract visibility costs organizations billions annually. Docusign Intelligent Agreement Management (IAM) addresses this by centralizing contract storage, automating workflows, and using AI to surface risk.

AI-powered agreement technology is transforming commercial legal workflows by automating contract reviews, resolving routine inquiries, and streamlining post-signature obligation management. By using AI to handle low-stakes tasks, in-house legal teams can focus on complex strategic decision-making while mitigating operational risks.

AI can surface what’s buried in a contract in seconds. Doing that without compromising data protection takes a lot more: A platform built for security and governance from the ground up. It’s why Experian won the 2026 Docusign AI Innovation Champion Award for its use of Docusign Intelligent Agreement Management (IAM).

This blog outlines four areas where contract automation and AI are helping procurement teams make better decisions—and a bigger impact—across the business: intake, negotiations, obligation management and contract analysis.

AI may dominate business conversations today, but the key lesson from Docusign Momentum on Tour in Boston was clear: The highest ROI comes from fixing agreement friction before deploying AI.
