When it comes to contracts, many organizations still rely on email chains, shared drives, or a patchwork of point solutions. On the surface, this feels manageable—until it’s not.
A deal stalls because someone’s working off the wrong version. Security flags a redline that was sent through an unencrypted email. Finance can’t recognize revenue because approvals are stuck in someone’s inbox. Suddenly, the “status quo” isn’t so safe—or efficient.
For legal and IT leaders, doing nothing comes at a steep cost.
The Hidden Risks of Manual and Fragmented Processes
- Version chaos: “legal edits v7_final_FINAL.docx” isn’t a running joke—it’s a daily reality. Without version control, compliance gaps and missed obligations slip through the cracks.
- Security vulnerabilities: Sensitive contracts traveling across email and disconnected systems make IT’s job harder and increase exposure to risk.
- Slow, expensive cycles: Weeks of review mean slower revenue recognition, frustrated sales teams, and missed opportunities.
- Operational drag: Legal spends more time chasing edits than enforcing compliance or shaping strategy.
The result? More risk, higher overhead, and slower growth.
Why Legacy Tools Don’t Solve It
It’s tempting to assume that adding “a tool” will fix the problem. But tools built for yesterday’s workflows—like Docusign or Conga—often create new headaches:
- Docusign: Excellent for single signatures, but not for managing the full lifecycle. In its base package, redlines still happen in Word, sent over email. Customizing templates can take weeks, only to realize collaboration still happens outside the system.
- Conga: A legacy CLM that promises end-to-end coverage, but often delivers complex rollouts, rigid workflows, and licensing models that make collaboration costly. IT gets stuck managing another heavyweight system that users find clunky.
Both approaches leave legal and IT with the same problem: fragmented processes and frustrated teams.
A Smarter Approach to CLM
Intellistack Streamline CLM was built to eliminate the cost of doing nothing and the hidden costs of legacy tools.
- Centralized and compliant: Live redlining, built-in version history, and AI clause review keep contracts audit-ready—without the endless email threads.
- Secure and scalable: A single source of truth with full audit tracking, designed for legal but empowering every team.
- Faster revenue cycles: Review times shrink from weeks to days, so sales maintains momentum and finance closes the books faster.
- No hidden costs: Unlimited users and transparent pricing remove barriers to adoption and collaboration.
The Real Risk? Standing Still
Every day without modern CLM is another day of unnecessary risk, revenue delay, and wasted hours. Legal and IT teams know the pain points—but the greater danger is ignoring them.
With Intellistack Streamline CLM, your organization doesn’t just manage contracts—it accelerates them. Securely. Compliantly. Confidently.
