Data Deluge
It’s mid-morning, and you’ve already spent two hours searching for a contract amendment that was last updated six months ago. Then there’s the ninety minutes you’ve allotted for each new agreement review—a repetitive task that’s been eating into your work days for months. Meanwhile, your inbox is brimming, and outside counsel fees keep climbing, and the supplier performance metrics you requested last week are nowhere to be found.
With filing cabinets bursting, shared drives and cloud portals overloaded, and mountains of documents siloed offsite, critical renewal dates slip by unnoticed—leading to automatic contract extensions and uncomfortable meetings. If this sounds all too familiar, you’re not alone. A recent study found that 71% of businesses cannot locate 10% of their active contracts.
Your contracts, historical notes, compliance guidelines, and risk assessments are the culmination of all the negotiations, expertise, and hard-won lessons that built your business. Yet they’re scattered, and your team is stretched thin—reacting to fires while strategic work piles up. Whether outsourcing or paying overtime to keep pace, you’re simply compensating for inefficiencies undermining your bottom line.
A Growing Storm
A single contract review costs $7,000, and a complex one can soar to $50,000. Beyond these expenses, inefficient contract processes carry major repercussions:
- Contract processes consume 18% of the average selling cycle, delaying start dates and tying up resources (Aberdeen Group).
- Organizations lose an average of 9.2% of contract value due to inefficiencies (World Commerce and Contracting).
- Nearly half (49%) of companies lack a process for storing contracts after execution, exposing them to unnecessary risks (EY Law).
These aren’t just time-consuming nuisances; they undercut your team’s ability to serve as a strategic partner and conceal potentially catastrophic risks. Every hour lost to manual processes could be spent generating insights, shaping strategy, and delivering the high-value counsel your organization relies on.
Meeting these challenges requires a fresh mindset, smarter tools, and a shift in how legal professionals manage their workload.
