AI is revolutionizing the way businesses manage contract obligations. By automating the identification of obligations, AI can significantly reduce manual effort and errors. AI-powered systems can effectively monitor contract milestones, deadlines, and performance metrics in real time, ensuring timely compliance.
AI can analyze contract terms to identify potential risks and liabilities, enabling businesses to implement proactive mitigation strategies. By optimizing resource allocation based on workload analysis, AI can help businesses improve efficiency and productivity.
However, effective contract governance goes much beyond the pre-execution steps of drafting, review, and collaboration. One must measure the contracting parties' performance against agreed terms to ensure that all parties deliver and fulfill their obligations. If you would like to effectively and efficiently ensure that your suppliers are meeting their obligations, you must hold the hand of technology. Are you wondering how to do that? Let's dive deep into it.
Obligation Management - Why is it Challenging?
Most organizations worldwide are handling a massive number of contracts, but their teams and departments often operate in silos, and that too with disconnected systems. As a result, the systems are so inflexible that contract management teams resort to manual processes.
Manual processes lack scalability and are often error-prone as contracts are difficult to understand, lack proper governance in the post-award stage, and are often poorly negotiated. The templates they use are either inconsistent in language or non-standard in format.
All these again boil down to the need for accurate contract review and keeping track of obligations. As a result, obligation and compliance management become time-consuming. On top of it, it deteriorates your relationship with your suppliers, which impacts your bottom line.
How does an AI-based Discovery Mechanism help Resolve this Pain?
AI-enabled contract and obligation management tools help you set realistic expectations with your vendors based on tracking obligations, frequently negotiated clauses, repeatedly breached areas, extracting complex metadata, etc. In short, AI essentially alleviates, to a very large extent the pains and headaches of the legal and contract management team.
There are many obligations and contract compliance tools available which can help you,
- Review your contracts
- Automate the workflows
- Help Contract Managers and administrators focus on the economic value of contracts.
AI can provide valuable insights and data-driven recommendations to support informed decision-making related to contract obligations.
However, self-discovery of obligations and visibility into their fulfillment are the areas where Aavenir Obligationflow wins the race.
