Introducing Intelligent Agreement Management

FAQs

• What's Intelligent Agreement Management (IAM)?

  Intelligent agreement management (IAM) is a new category of cloud software that helps organizations everywhere escape the Agreement Trap, and transform the way they create, commit to, and manage their agreements and agreement processes. This helps improve efficiency, reduce risk and unlock additional value from agreements.
  
  The agreement trap is perhaps the biggest unseen challenge that organizations face. Deloitte says that poor agreement management processes and systems can cost nearly US$2 trillion in global economic value each year.* While every organization depends on agreements for many of their vital day-to-day activities, the processes that manage them are slow, manual and error-prone and leave critical business data trapped in static, flat files.
  
  Solving this problem and escaping the agreement trap requires a new way of approaching agreements, where they are treated as first-class participants in modern business workflows. This solution should support business users at every step, automate manual work and leverage the power of AI.
  
  Intelligent Agreement Management is a new way to help every organization to:
  - create agreements in a way that is collaborative, automated and integrated with all business processes and systems.
  - commit to agreements faster, more securely and with a better end-customer, partner and employee experience.
  - manage agreements dynamically by breaking down the data hidden within, unlocking value and eliminating unnecessary risk.
  
  
  Welcome to the new world of Intelligent Agreement Management (IAM).

• Will my eSignature or CLM plan change?

  If you're an existing eSign or CLM customer, nothing changes. You’ll continue to see new innovations deployed to your existing applications. Once IAM plans and applications are available in your region, you’ll have the opportunity to access new plans that include exciting new capabilities, with no migration required.
