Implementing Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) platforms and other legal technologies can significantly enhance an organization's legal operations. However, the process is often fraught with challenges that can impede success. Gartner reports that nearly 50% of initial CLM implementations fall short of expectations, underscoring the complexity of these projects.

Common Challenges in Implementing CLM and Legal Technologies

1. Lack of Clear Objectives: Without well-defined goals, organizations may struggle to align the technology with their specific needs, leading to underutilization or misapplication. (7 reasons why CLM implementations fail (and how to avoid them) - Agiloft)
2. Inadequate Stakeholder Engagement: Successful implementation requires buy-in from all relevant departments, including legal, procurement, and IT. Failure to engage these stakeholders can result in resistance and low adoption rates. (Guest post: The five reasons CLM implementations fail, and how to avoid them - Legal IT Insider)
