Discover how SAP Ariba Contract Intelligence by Icertis creates an effective digital strategy for contract lifecycle management that empowers your business to maximize visibility and control. Transform contract lifecycle management
across source to pay
Take CLM results to the next level
Contracts form the foundation of business rela-
tionships, establishing the rules and agreements
for how you buy, sell, and partner to conduct
commerce. To optimize their value, you need
an effective CLM system—one that deploys the
latest tools to integrate, track, and automate
the creation, negotiation, execution, and manage-
ment of all your contracts while maximizing
visibility and control.
With the SAP Ariba Contract Intelligence editions
by Icertis, that’s what you get (both premium and
premium plus editions are available). By extending
the SAP Ariba Contracts solution with the Icertis
Contract Intelligence (ICI) platform, this offering
streamlines, standardizes, and upgrades the
contract management process. Centralized
contract data integrates with strategic sourcing,
supplier management, and buying and invoicing
to drive informed decisions across your organiza-
tion. A flexible UI lets you define contract types,
attributes, workflows, and other parameters,
while AI and automation accelerate tasks and
offer relevant insights and recommendations.
These resources help you realize the intent and
value of virtually every contract, making it easier
to grow revenue, cut costs and risk, and strengthen
supplier relationships.
More than ever before, business success depends on the right digital
strategy. This is especially true within contract lifecycle management (CLM),
where the use of newer technologies can dramatically improve operational
and financial performance.
Procurement leaders rank contract management as
the #1 priority for critical development in 2025. 1
