As influential agents in society and the environment, organisations must adopt a sustainable philosophy that involves all areas and strategies

Made up of people, companies and organisations affect the society they are part of and the environment directly. The products or services we offer have an impact on what surrounds society and there is an increasing demand for strong values that support sustainability.

Managing the knowledge of companies in an increasingly virtual environment is a complicated task, but it becomes a competitive advantage if done with the right tools

Knowledge is key for companies. Even more in an environment that is increasingly digitised and involved in technology. Knowing to manage that knowledge properly makes the difference between effective or inefficient processes. Understanding and implementing the right tools for knowledge management should be one of your priorities for the business, so let's analyse what KM (knowledge management) is, how it relates to CLM (Contract Lifecycle Management) and how its merger will mark the digitisation of companies.

An in-house lawyer is tasked with preparing a contract with one of his company's suppliers. He accesses the corporation's document management software, fills in a form and, in a matter of minutes, the contract is ready. He sends it, via the platform, to the other party involved. Then he approves their comments directly on the document, and send it back to be digitally signed. Signed and ready, in record time!

Companies handle an enormous number of documents nowadays. Whatever their activity sector is, their legal, human resources, sales and, in general, almost all departments manage a large contract, template and report amount. Document automation is a solution that makes it possible to deal with this chaos of paper that takes up folders and folders. It is a technological solution that also helps companies to leap digitalisation and provides them with great flexibility.

What are legal operations? 

Legal operations are the essence of every corporation. The legal industry is evolving with increased demand for legal services that continue to be trending in any form of business. It is responsible for producing efficient plans for in-house legal teams and enhances their work proficiency with better decision strategies. The set of activities are much broader comprising intra- and inter-functional collaboration, innovative legal solutions to the clients, managing financial matters, technology, vendor management, data analysis to maximize the effective delivery of legal services. CLOC's model is based on twelve core competencies that are divided into 3 layers, specifically foundational, advanced, and mature level competencies. In other words, legal operations have turned down the concept of in-house legal from "cost center" to "value-creator".

Efficiently managing the "contract life cycle" can be a headache for many corporations. That is it is important to have a contract lifecycle management strategy in place.

Not only are we in the digital era, but we’re also in the era that brings awareness to our planet. Reducing emissions and the use of fossil fuels, we are learning more and more about ways to reduce our carbon footprint. Let alone how the COVID19 pandemic has helped this reduction.

In the era of digitalization, you can witness how advanced technology is transforming the way businesses operate. Even those that refuse to accept the changes will be forced to support the innovation in order to stay competitive. Major professions are embracing automation as it brings them more free time as well as higher ROI.
