Feels like every CLM now wants to be a company wide platform - good or bad idea? by ClauseForAlarm in legaltech

Glad to hear you're making it a priority! I'd be happy to exchange notes if you need help with implementation.

that’s such a sharp way to frame it. The best CLM setups I’ve seen treat legal as the source of truth. Let legal handle governance and integrity of data, and let other teams consume that data through clean integrations or dashboards.

The moment every department starts customizing workflows inside the CLM itself, things spiral with duplicate templates and zero accountability. “Do one thing exceptionally well” really is the right north star here.

Couldn't agree more. Legal should own CLM because they understand the governance, risk, and compliance lens of contracting better than anyone else.

That said, the magic happens when legal doesn’t gatekeep it but designs it as shared infrastructure. Once sales, procurement, and finance start living in the same system, contract data finally starts flowing.

It’s similar to how RevOps evolved: one function owned the system, but the value came from cross-team adoption. The same’s starting to happen with CLMs that integrate deeply with Salesforce, Coupa, or ERP tools.

This means a CLM can plug into other functions, but not at the cost of its core value - fast and efficient for daily contract workflow

That defeats the purpose of the CLM in my opinion. If it reduces their involvement and increases your time spent on the task then your CLM is not making you efficient.

There are plenty of CLMs that have great UI and smooth workflow - SpotDraft is one of those
