Why Contract Migration Is a Make-or-Break Moment
Migrating contracts into CLM is often underestimated. Without structure, teams simply recreate a messy shared drive. A successful contract repository migration creates trusted data, not just storage.
Inventory and Prioritization
Start by identifying high-value and high-risk contracts first.
Metadata Standards and Governance
Define required fields so contracts are searchable and reportable.
Using AI Responsibly
AI accelerates extraction—but high-risk contracts still need validation.
Ownership and Ongoing Discipline
CLM works when contracts have owners and new agreements default into the system.
Final Thoughts
Contract repository migration is foundational. When done right, it unlocks renewal management, analytics, and compliance—turning CLM into a true system of record.
