According to the report, “Agiloft’s BPM platform supports easy workflow configuration and extensions,” wrote Andrew Bartels, Forrester VP, principal analyst, and author of the report. “Clients gave Agiloft an above-average score for usability (especially for ease of configuring workflow) …”

The report also highlights that Agiloft’s “support for buy-side and sell-side contracts is very good…On the sell side, it has integration with and emulation of Microsoft Dynamics CRM and Salesforce as well as its apps for configure-price-quote (CPQ) and related modules.”

On the technology side, Forrester advises potential CLM customers to look for “mature and well-developed AI functions” for importing and adding metadata tags to data, drafting contracts, engaging with users, and managing risk both in existing contracts and surfacing unidentified risks. Agiloft’s open AI engine uses a containerized (Docker) architecture to combine multiple ML models to give customers out-of-the-box, pre-trained AI models across common contract types that allow them to instantly reap the benefits of AI from data import and metadata tagging to risk analysis.
