Overview
Evisort is an AI-powered contract lifecycle management (CLM) and contract intelligence platform, founded in 2016 by Jerry Ting, Amine Anoun and Jake Sussman, who met at Harvard Law School and MIT. Evisort's machine learning models were trained to automatically extract clauses, terms, obligations and metadata from contracts and related documents, turning static legal text into structured, searchable business data. The company raised more than $150 million in venture funding and built a customer base that included Microsoft, BNY Mellon, NetApp, Vonage and Keller Williams before being acquired by Workday in September 2024.
Since the acquisition, Evisort's technology has been rebranded and folded into Workday's product line as Workday Contract Intelligence and Workday Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM), both "powered by Evisort AI." The evisort.com domain now redirects to Workday's contract management product pages. The platform covers the full contract lifecycle -- generation, drafting and redlining, negotiation, approval routing and e-signature, through to obligation tracking, renewal management and post-signature analytics -- and adds an "Ask AI" natural-language interface that lets users query contract repositories directly and get answers with source citations.
Workday positions Contract Intelligence and CLM as tools for legal, procurement, finance, sales, HR and M&A teams that need visibility into contract terms, obligations and risk across large repositories, and reports results such as a 21-day average deployment, up to 70% reduction in outside legal spend, and 65% reduction in contract execution time for customers.
