Over the past years, artificial intelligence has significantly transformed the way organizations approach contract management within CRM systems. One of the most notable developments has been the automation of routine tasks: contract drafting, data extraction, and compliance checks. AI-driven tools can now identify key clauses, flag potential risks, and suggest improvements, which reduces manual workload and accelerates contract cycles. Additionally, predictive analytics powered by AI has become a game-changer. By analysing contract data and market trends, AI can forecast potential outcomes, identify negotiation opportunities, and optimize contract terms. This has improved risk management and enabled more strategic decision-making. Finally, the integration of AI into CRM platforms has strengthened customer relationships by providing greater transparency and efficiency. Automated reminders, intelligent workflows, and AI-powered dashboards ensure that both clients and internal teams remain informed throughout the contract lifecycle. In summary, AI has shifted contract management from a traditionally labour-intensive process to a more strategic, data-driven function - delivering speed, accuracy, and value to organizations across industries. In the presentation of Thorsten Bleifeld, we will discuss what this evolution means for us as a provider of contract management software, and we will explain our approach to integrating AI into our products.
