Ensuring Clause compliance
Pitfalls of not having clause compliance models Inconsistency across clauses in different contracts Duplication of effort by multiple stakeholders Omissions of important clauses and obligations Communication gap due to lack of integration between CRM, ERP systems Missed compliance checks due to lack of visibility
19
Ensuring Clause compliance
Predictive AI for accurate clause usage Identify clause deviation from defined standards Ensure addition of important clauses and update reviewer about any missing/redundant or even buried clauses Suggest clause additions based on context – e.g. a currency fluctuation clause if the customer is based out of US
20
Ensuring Clause compliance
Contracts involve multiple stakeholders for review and modifications, each of whom have different needs AI determines where contract clauses deviate from standard language and automatically routes documents to the right stakeholder for review & modifications The approval process moves much faster when negotiators can quickly be informed how close the current version of the contract is to the predefined standards
21
Ensuring Clause compliance
NLP for 3rd party paper and legacy contracts Natural Language Processing parses External Party paper and legacy documents into different sections and clauses It rapidly finds, highlights and parses Terms, Clauses and Sections from Third Party It monitors compliance across the entire contract database, including the content of each contract, saving time and reducing manual effort
22
Ensuring Clause compliance
NLP for 3rd party paper and legacy contracts NLP helps with meta-data extraction from legacy contracts and apply relevant tags in case of any updates This ensures meta-data tags are constantly updated for accurate reporting, preventing contracts from going redundant
