If contracts are at the center of commerce and business relationships, then integrated data is at the center of those enterprise contracts. You’ve likely heard variations of the phrase “That contract isn’t worth the paper it’s written on.” In the same vein, a contract is only as good as its contract data.
In a recent webinar, Andrew Bartels of Forrester and Julien Nadaud, Determine’s Chief Product Officer, explored in detail the issues, challenges, benefits and hype surrounding Artificial Intelligence (AI). Whether you’re talking about machine learning, natural language processing, robotic process automation, expert system decision management or any other aspect, the goal is the same: harvesting data intelligence. The only way to gain true data intelligence is through seamless data integration.
The CPO Rising 2017: Tools of the Trade report from Ardent Partners was a big focus last year. It was the first of their benchmark reports to explore the technology perspective of procurement, and it was revealing. Before the release of CPO Rising 2018: The Age of Intelligence happens, we thought it was worth reviewing Tools of the Trade to check some highlights.

This rather blunt, but deceptively motivational statement was a frequent response from my high school coach whenever we felt too apathetic towards some practice drills or other.

As a change management strategy, it turned a bunch of talented-but-unmotivated athletes into a winning team. Clever man, our coach.
In planning a webinar with PayStream Advisors, From Isolated to Integrated—Removing Silos in Contract Management, their research survey revealed a lot. Most obvious (and egregious) is the continued divide between organizations that are getting maximum value out of contracts with a CLM solution, and those that can’t get out of the file cabinet. Leveraging contracts means more than just extracting value; it’s also how to mitigate the risks they potentially represent. And that’s invaluable.
Just weeks after joining the Determine team as their Senior Vice President of Customer Success, Kevin Turner was in attendance at the annual user group conference in Laguna Beach. Between meeting customers for the first time and hearing their feedback through presentations and informal exchanges, it was a critical and well timed opportunity to ensure that the Determine product roadmap is aligned with a broad range of definitions for customer success.
