Harnessing the power of data to drive case strategy is no longer a closely-held secret among tech-savvy attorneys—it has nearly become a mandate.

- Leveraging Contract Data Management for a Strong CLM Foundation (Thursday, 2/4: 1:15pm ET):
With 60% of Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) deployments ending in failure, the greatest challenge remains preparing an organization to effectively use CLM solutions.

This CLE presentation will explain through real-life examples what CDM comprises, its tremendous potential for improving CLM implementations, and how best to introduce it into the organization.
