The world runs on agreements. They live in every function of every organisation. They can also be the greatest source of untapped value. Outdated agreement systems and processes trap critical information inside static documents, costing time and money for organizations of all sizes. We call this the Agreement Trap.

In Docusign 2024 Release 2, we’re announcing new capabilities in Docusign IAM that help you escape the Agreement Trap with intelligent agreement management and smooth source-to-pay processes.

Connect agreement workflows and data

Today we’re releasing new capabilities in Maestro and Navigator, two of the flagship platform services of Docusign IAM. These new features help you automate complex agreement workflows and gain more valuable insights from agreement data.

Maestro

Docusign Maestro enables any team to create custom agreement workflows without writing a single line of code. In Release 2, we’ve added:

  • Advanced conditionality: Power complex workflows and minimise manual intervention when tasks are automatically routed based on predefined conditions.

  • Maestro workflows for Docusign CLM: CLM customers can now build in Maestro workflow functionality within CLM, unlocking access to ID verification, forms, and advanced signing capabilities.

Now available.

Streamline the source-to-pay process with SAP Ariba

For procurement teams, maximising contract value, increasing supplier performance, and minimizing risk are core responsibilities. These are all directly tied to data and clauses that are trapped within agreements. Integrating Docusign CLM (Contract Lifecycle Management) with existing source-to-pay systems is critical to helping organizations unlock ROI and eliminate friction in supplier agreement processes.

In Release 2, we’re launching the Docusign CLM Connector for SAP Ariba to deliver a rich, embedded agreement experience, enabling procurement teams to create and manage agreements right from the Ariba interface with seamless data sharing between systems. This new app integration, available in the Docusign App Center, connects your SAP Ariba Contract Workspace with Docusign CLM to:

  • Create new supplier agreements directly from Ariba Contract Workspaces

  • Easily ingest third-party agreements

  • Seamlessly manage workflow tasks

  • Automatically update Ariba fields

  • Maintain audit history from both CLM and Ariba

This natively integrated user experience allows legal and procurement teams to collaborate more efficiently in the systems they use every day.

Leverage the Agreement Template Builder to Save Time Sending

With the Agreement Template Builder for Document Generation, you can now upload a document, edit it as you wish, and create sending and signing fields — all without leaving Docusign — to save you valuable time while sending. Not only does this make preparing agreements faster than ever, but it imparts a professional, customised look to all your agreements.
