Digital Transformation: Leveraging Technology to Improve Legal Outcomes
Organizational change is never easy, but for corporate legal teams tasked with simultaneously mitigating risk and enabling business growth — all within the boundaries of the law — the struggle can be very real, especially amid expectations to rapidly adopt and align emerging technologies. While it would be difficult today to find an in-house legal team that isn’t using some kind of tech solution to create and drive efficiencies, automate repetitive tasks, and improve workflows, comprehensive digital transformation is still considered a work in progress for many organizations.
Case Study
On the heels of an extensive information governance, privacy and records management overhaul supported by FTI Technology, a large North American retail chain was pursuing a contract lifecycle management (CLM) implementation. The company aimed to centralize its contracts, deploy a new CLM tool, establish new contracting policies and improve workflows ahead of a planned merger. FTI Technology’s Corporate Legal Operations experts were engaged to ensure the project remained on course and provide a full transformation of contracting processes.
