Overview
Icertis is an enterprise contract lifecycle management (CLM) platform, marketed as the Icertis Contract Intelligence (ICI) platform, that digitizes and structures contracts so organizations can automate authoring, negotiation, execution and post-execution obligation management at scale. It is aimed at large enterprises with complex, high-volume contracting needs across legal, sales, procurement and finance functions.
The platform covers the full contract lifecycle: intelligent contract setup with configured attributes, templates and clause libraries; guided, role-based authoring workflows; redlining, playbooks and approvals for negotiation; e-signature; and post-execution monitoring of obligations, milestones and renewals. Icertis Copilot and other AI capabilities (including a Risk Assessment Copilot) generate contract summaries, flag risk against predefined parameters, and surface portfolio-wide analytics and dashboards.
Icertis is deeply positioned around ERP and procurement ecosystem integration rather than standing alone: SAP has taken a financial investment stake in Icertis and the two companies jointly ship "SAP Ariba Contract Intelligence by Icertis" as an SAP Solution Extension, and Icertis also ships packaged integrations for SAP S/4HANA, SAP Fieldglass, SAP CPQ, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management, Salesforce, Coupa, and Workday.
