Mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures move fast—but contract management often lags behind. Without a centralized contract repository, automated workflows, and seamless integration, companies face compliance risks, revenue leakage, and operational bottlenecks.
When a Fortune 500 telecommunications company divested its Media Business Unit, it needed a fully operational CLM system before the legal separation. IT PODS led the transformation—migrating 5,000+ contracts, defining new business rules, and integrating Icertis CLM into their enterprise stack.
3 Key Lessons from a Large-Scale CLM Implementation
1) Contract Management is More Than Just Software—It’s a Change Management Process
Simply installing a CLM tool isn’t enough. Successful implementation requires stakeholder buy-in, business rule creation, and process alignment across legal, finance, procurement, and sales. In this project, IT PODS facilitated cross-functional workshops to define contract playbooks, approval workflows, and compliance guardrails.
2) Legacy Contract Migration is a High-Stakes Process
For enterprises, contracts aren’t just files—they are business obligations and revenue drivers. IT PODS structured 5,000+ agreements into a secure, searchable repository, extracting over 30 key contract attributes for better reporting and compliance tracking.
3) Training & User Adoption Are Make-or-Break Factors
A powerful CLM system is useless if teams don’t use it effectively. We implemented customized training programs, hands-on workshops, and “office hours” to ensure legal, finance, and sales teams fully adopted the new system. Result? 100% stakeholder alignment.The IT PODS Approach to CLM Transformation
