Legacy Contract Migration

Modernize Your Contracts. Maximize Your CLM.

Implementing a new CLM system is only half the battle. Without clean, consistent legacy contract data, your new platform is just a storage bin. Our Legacy Contract Migration service ensures your historical agreements are transformed into a structured, searchable asset that actually delivers on the promise of CLM.

Many CLM rollouts fail not because of the platform - but because of what’s put into it.

An internal study by IBM found that 36% of the data their customers initially prepared for data transfers was improperly formatted or inaccurately coded, putting implementation efforts at serious risk.
 

A survey by ContractWorks (by Onit) revealed that 77% of legal tech projects, including CLM implementations, fail - often due to (among other factors) insufficient data migration planning and poor-quality inputs.

These failures result in:

• Incomplete or inconsistent metadata
   
• Missed obligations or duplicate contracts
   
• User adoption challenges
   
• Inability to fully leverage CLM features like alerts, analytics, and renewals

We turn your legacy agreements into a reliable, query able foundation for your contract lifecycle platform.

1. Inventory & Audit
   We work with your team to locate, organize, and audit your legacy contracts. This step ensures nothing critical is overlooked and sets the foundation for accurate extraction.
    
2. Data Extraction & Cleanup
   Using our partner AI tools, we extract essential metadata and clauses, and our legal reviewers validate and structure the data. We correct errors, fill gaps, and align fields with your new CLM’s requirements.
    
3. Normalization & Categorization
   Contracts are categorized by type, party, risk level, or business unit - whatever taxonomy supports your workflows. We standardize term names and normalize clause variations.
    
4. Integration-Ready Delivery
   We deliver the cleaned data and documents in a format ready for upload into your CLM. If needed, we can also assist in the actual system ingestion or tagging process.
    

• Reliable metadata for search, alerts, and reporting
   
• Faster user adoption and smoother rollout
   
• A CLM that actually works - starting Day 1
   

Don’t let your new CLM fail because of dirty data. We’ll help you migrate the past into a format that empowers the future.
