Live Contracts: How Next-Gen CLM Solutions Will Make Contract More than Merely "Smart"
Nick Heinzmann, Spend Matters, 1/21/2019
An essential component of business relationships, contract management has become a popular target for digital transformation efforts. Digital and artificially-intelligent promise to arm organizations with increasingly 'smart' contracts. Heinzmann suggests, however, that the concept of a smart contract is "inherently limiting."

Among these are the lack of an efficient and functional system to process invoices from independent employees and the recurrent need for integrated tax and payment filing. Karpie suggests we may soon see a major shift. Rather than simply "putting butts in seats," organizations could establish a platform-constructed world where "capturing more financial transactions through more service offerings" is considered the primary value generator.
