ISM-Pittsburgh Stop Playing Contract Catch Up: How AI Makes Review Fast, Accurate and Aligned
As global supply chains become more complex, the ability to review contracts quickly and accurately is critical to maintaining speed, compliance, and control. Yet for many procurement and supply management teams, contract review remains a manual, time-consuming process that slows execution and increases risk.
This 1-hour session explores how AI can modernize contract review, making it faster, more consistent, and fully aligned with business and supplier objectives. Join us to gain insight into how leading organizations are applying AI to:
· Accelerate review cycles while maintaining accuracy and compliance
· Align supplier agreements with strategic, operational, and risk frameworks
· Enhance collaboration between procurement, legal, and business teams
· Leverage data and insights to strengthen supplier relationships and drive value
Our presenter will share lessons learned from deploying an AI-powered contract review solution that supports procurement and legal teams across industries. You’ll walk away with practical ideas for integrating AI into your contracting process, helping your organization stay ahead, reduce friction, and enable smarter, faster decisions.
By connecting contract intelligence to the broader supply management strategy, you can strengthen end-to-end performance and support teams, create organizational value, and drive competitive advantage.
