AI Contract Management for Compliance & Risk Mitigation

Value Proposition Modernize contract operations with an Azure-native solution that centralizes every agreement, makes content fully searchable with AI, and proactively flags risky or non‑standard clauses—so legal and business teams can reduce exposure, ensure compliance, and accelerate the contract lifecycle.

Customer Challenges

• Contract’s risk exposure are not known. High uncertainty around liabilities, penalties, and guarantees increases enterprise risk
• Contracts are long, complex, and often scanned PDFs, making search and clause discovery slow or impossible without OCR and indexing.
• Lack of traceable, complete data across the lifecycle impedes compliance and slows decision-making.

Solution Overview An end-to-end contract management solution built on Azure AI Search, Microsoft 365, and SharePoint Online. It structures and centralizes your repository, performs OCR and indexing on all documents, and applies AI-driven analysis to surface risks, deviations, and obligations—integrated into your existing landscape for scalable governance and continuous improvement.

• Define your types of risks of interest. Store centralized repository and metadata model in SharePoint for control and order.
• Generative-AI analysis to identify risky or non-standard clauses (e.g., vague or unlimited penalties) and flag contracts for proactive action.
• Traceable data and lifecycle completeness to strengthen compliance and streamline collaboration.

Key Features Contract centralization and governance

• SharePoint-based structure, standard metadata, and custom search for rapid discovery and auditability. AI-powered search and discovery
• OCR, indexing, and AI search across large contract sets to find the right contract and the right clause fast. Clause risk detection and deviation alerts
• Automated analysis to detect unlimited, vague, or non-preferred penalty language and other high-risk terms. Lifecycle completeness and compliance
• Ensure correct and complete information throughout the lifecycle; support collaboration and efficiency. Integration-first design
• Deep integration into your Microsoft ecosystem for reliability, scalability, and easier maintenance.

How It Works Across the Lifecycle

1. Gain control of contracts by establishing order and structure in SharePoint
2. Make everything in contracts searchable by using Azure AI Search
3. Filter and search contract metadata
4. Use AI to support the contract process with deep analytical capabilities

Benefits

• Reduce risk exposure by proactively identifying risky clauses and deviations before they become issues.
• Strengthen compliance with traceable, complete data and governed processes across the lifecycle.
• Improve efficiency and collaboration with faster search, AI-supported reviews, and streamlined workflows.
• Become information-driven with structured data, enabling better insights and easier process/system evolution.
• Integrate seamlessly with your Microsoft landscape to scale globally with consistent governance.

Example in Practice A Nordic enterprise integrated AI into its contract landscape to OCR, index, and analyze large volumes of agreements. The system flags contracts with unlimited or vague penalty clauses for proactive mitigation—addressing uncertainty around liabilities and penalties.
