CobbleStone Software: Redefining Contract Management

Without contract artificial intelligence, organizations can face various challenges and consequences, from tedious and error-prone data extraction to exposure to deleterious risk variables. Such error-prone tasks and data leakage can put organizations at legal and reputational risk.

CobbleStone Software, a company that provides contract, vendor, and e-procurement management software, enables organizations to tackle these challenges. “Our platform hosts over 3 million contract transactions and billions of dollars in contract value. We have been providing contract software as a SaaS solution for longer than any other contract platform,” begins Mark Nastasi, President, CobbleStone.

CobbleStone Software is one of the leading innovators in legal operations digital transformation with its proprietary contract artificial intelligence engine with machine learning – VISDOM AI. CobbleStone’sAI-based contract management software also offers seamlessly integrated features for vendor management, eProcurement, and eSourcing—all on one platform! Organizations no longer need to worry about divorced contract and procurement processes. CobbleStone’s all-in-one contract management and eProcurement suite—CobbleStone Contract Insight—can be enjoyed by private- and public- sector organizations alike. Contracts, requests, vendors, suppliers, procurements, bids, solicitations, purchase orders, and more can centrally be managed from start to finish.

The CobbleStone Contract Insight platform with VISDOM AI offers intelligent contract term, clause, and data extraction and classification. While enabling robust protection of sensitive data, it also provides intelligent workflow automation. Businesses can harness the potential of this application to facilitate a comprehensive assessment of employee accountability and usage of contract artificial intelligence tools. The solution enhances risk identification and prevention with mapping and assessment tools. It also automates the classification of sensitive data such as payment card information (PCI), personally identifiable information (PII), and more. As a result, businesses could improve contract oversight and opportunity realization with AI-powered, intelligent, and automated contract management software.

In addition, CobbleStone Contract Insight supports advanced contract data fields, contract reporting tools, key date alerts, proactive risk management, contract drafting, contract review, and industry-specific contract type tracking. Moreover, the solution is uniquely designed to support task performance monitoring for exceptional contract oversight. Contract administrators can pinpoint how long employees take to complete assigned tasks – promoting department-wide accountability. Tasks can also be escalated in the event thatthere are delays – keeping the contract lifecycle moving and promoting timeliness. “Contract professionals can keep tabs on the number of days a given contract is sitting in a lifecycle stage with contract status updates and alerts. For robust visibility, organizations can leverage advanced workflow analytics, reports, and graphical dashboards,” adds Nastasi.

Natural language processing (NLP) and named-entity recognition are the foundations of this momentous and bold initiative.

As part of its growth strategy, CobbleStone is constantly expanding. The company has introduced more and more regional data centers to expand the offering of CobbleStone to countries worldwide while increasing the confidence and security of local data hosting environments and compliance obligations. As part of its expansion plan, the company has partnered with numerous organizations to centralize CobbleStone with other mission-critical processes and applications. “Our million-clause initiative will perpetually augment the intelligence of our AI-based platform with machine learning.
