DocuSign is redefining an end-to-end agreement process that’s smarter, easier and more trusted, which in turn drives better business results.

Gartner defines contract life cycle management (CLM) software as “a solution that proactively manages contracts from the initiation stage through the award, compliance and renewal stages.“

According to Gartner, “Using these solutions helps mitigate organizational risk by enabling regulatory and policy compliance, providing governance over what is signed and with whom, and role-based access to terms and obligations with third parties. CLM solutions drive visibility, consistency and efficiency in the contracting process across an enterprise. Implementing CLM can lead to significant improvements in revenue management, cost savings and efficiency.”

Gartner recommends “the most progressive approach to CLM is to adopt it as part of an enterprisewide strategy that considers the interdependencies among contracts, business processes, operational and financial results, and that indicates a high level of maturity.” 1
