When your legal team feels like they need to be everywhere, all at once, it’s time to rethink your approach to agreements. This Docusign blog highlights how organizations like iCIMS are using Docusign CLM to streamline contracting processes, reduce legal bottlenecks, and foster cross-functional collaboration. 

✍️ Key takeaways:

• Empowering teams with self-service forms: iCIMS leverages Docusign CLM’s Self-Service Forms for agreements like waivers and NDAs, allowing sales and procurement teams to handle minor negotiations without requiring legal intervention.

• Simplifying collaboration with seamless integrations: Cross-platform integrations enable stakeholders to review agreements directly in tools they use every day, such as Salesforce.

• Streamlining workflows with automation: Automated routing in CLM ensures smooth reviews, approvals, and changes while maintaining version control and compliance.

• Achieving growth without overwhelming legal: While iCIMS scaled its agreement volume by 500%, only 22% of agreements required legal involvement, and 72% of those agreements no longer needed attorney review.

• Best practices for CLM success: The blog underscores the importance of starting with people and processes, taking a phased approach to implementation, and including cross-departmental teams for successful adoption.
