Introducing SimpleDocs 360: AI-Native Contract Lifecycle Management

For years, contract lifecycle management (CLM) software has promised to make contracting easier. But for many organizations, the reality has been expensive implementations, rigid workflows, and complicated systems that legal and business teams struggle to adopt.

Most traditional CLM platforms were built before generative AI fundamentally changed what was possible. They were designed around manual processes, complex configurations, and rigid workflows, with legal and business teams expected to adapt to the software.

Then came generative AI.

Suddenly, legal teams could draft, review, and negotiate agreements with greater speed and intelligence. Tasks that once required hours of manual work could be completed in minutes. And expectations for what contract software should deliver fundamentally changed.

We believe it's time to bring that same transformation to the entire contract lifecycle.

Today, we're introducing SimpleDocs 360: AI-native contract lifecycle management, made simple.

Rather than adding AI features to a traditional CLM system, we've built a platform that brings together AI-powered drafting and review, automated contract workflows, and intelligent contract management in one connected experience.

It's a place for business teams to request contracts and manage approvals. A place for legal teams to draft, review, and negotiate agreements with AI grounded in playbooks, precedent, and real-world market intelligence. And a place for legal, finance, and operations teams to understand their agreements, track obligations, and stay ahead of renewals.

One platform for the entire contract lifecycle, designed around how your teams actually work.

One platform. The entire contract lifecycle.

SimpleDocs 360 brings together three integrated products: SimpleAI, Workflow, and Repository.

Each addresses a different part of the contracting process. Together, they connect the entire lifecycle, from the first contract request to signature and beyond.

Here's what that looks like in practice.

Request contracts and automate approvals with Workflow

Contracting often starts outside the legal department.

A sales representative needs a customer agreement. Procurement needs to onboard a supplier. An operations manager needs an NDA signed.

With SimpleDocs Workflow, business teams can initiate contract requests from Salesforce, Slack, and Microsoft Teams, or through configurable intake forms.

From there, Workflow can automatically:

• Route requests to the appropriate legal or business team.
• Generate agreements using approved templates and request information.
• Assign tasks and track progress.
• Apply approval rules based on contract type, value, or other conditions.
• Coordinate sequential and parallel approvals.
• Integrate with popular e-signature tools like DocuSign and Adobe Sign.

Legal teams can configure and manage workflows without relying on complex development projects.

Business teams have a clear process for submitting requests and following their progress, while legal maintains visibility and control.

Approvals and signatures, without the back-and-forth

Once a request is submitted, Workflow can automatically coordinate the next steps.

Contracts can be routed to legal for review, assigned to the appropriate stakeholders, and moved through approval stages based on the organization's rules.

When an agreement is ready, teams can send it for signature through integrated e-signature providers.

Instead of managing the process across email threads, spreadsheets, and disconnected systems, everyone has visibility into what needs to happen next.

Draft, review, and negotiate with SimpleAI

Once an agreement reaches legal, SimpleAI brings AI-powered drafting, review, and negotiation directly into Microsoft Word.

Legal teams can review contracts against their own playbooks, identify risks, generate suggested redlines, compare documents, and draft new language without leaving the tools they already use.

SimpleAI includes:

• AI Agent Mode: Work with an AI assistant that can analyze agreements, draw on relevant legal context, and help produce contract work product.
• Advanced Playbooks: Apply ready-to-use playbooks or build custom playbooks reflecting your organization's preferred positions, fallback language, and negotiation rules.
• Risk Review and Contract Diagnostic: Identify contractual risks, evaluate provisions, and generate suggested redlines, even without a custom playbook.
• Drafting and Comparison: Draft contract language, compare document versions, and summarize agreements.
• Precedent Intelligence: Reference how your organization has handled similar agreements and negotiation issues.
• Law Insider Market Intelligence: Compare contractual provisions against real-world market standards and publicly available precedent.

From identifying risks to fixing them

Traditional contract review often involves a series of disconnected steps: identify an issue, research the appropriate language, draft an alternative, and manually update the document.

SimpleAI brings those steps together.

Legal teams can identify problematic provisions, understand the associated risks, and generate suggested redlines directly in Microsoft Word.

They can review the proposed changes, make adjustments, and apply them to the agreement, keeping lawyers in control of the final work product.

The goal isn't simply to identify contract issues. It's to help legal teams understand those issues, decide how to respond, and make the necessary changes directly in the agreement.

Search, analyze, and manage agreements with Repository

Signing a contract isn't the end of the lifecycle.

Legal, finance, and operations teams still need to understand what's been agreed, monitor obligations, and manage renewals.

SimpleDocs Repository turns agreements into searchable, actionable contract intelligence.

Teams can upload contracts in bulk, automatically extract important terms, connect related documents, and organize agreements using customizable tables and views.

With Repository, organizations can:

• AI Import and Structuring: Upload, classify, and organize contracts while automatically extracting important metadata.
• AI Contract Search: Find agreements, clauses, counterparties, and provisions using natural language.
• AI Columns and AI Query: Extract and analyze contract information across entire portfolios.
• Obligations and Alerts: Track renewal dates, notice periods, contractual commitments, and other important milestones.
• Contract Relationships: Connect related agreements, amendments, and renewals.
• Custom Views and Reporting: Organize agreements by business unit, contract type, counterparty, risk, or other criteria.

Turn contract data into actionable intelligence

The real value of a repository isn't simply storing contracts. It's understanding what's inside them.

With SimpleDocs Repository, teams can ask questions across their agreements, identify important contractual provisions, and surface information that would otherwise require manual review.

They can monitor upcoming renewals, identify notice deadlines, and create views that help different business teams focus on the contracts and obligations relevant to them.

Contract information becomes easier to find, analyze, and act on.

Contract intelligence powered by Law Insider

One of the most important capabilities of SimpleDocs 360 is the intelligence behind its AI.

Through Law Insider, SimpleDocs brings real-world contract and clause data directly into the drafting and negotiation process.

That intelligence combines three important sources:

• Market standards. Understand how comparable provisions are drafted in real-world agreements, using public contract data from Law Insider.
• Organizational precedent. Reference how your own legal team has negotiated similar provisions and resolved comparable issues.
• Approved playbooks. Apply your organization's preferred terms, fallback positions, and negotiation rules.

Together, these sources help legal teams make better-informed decisions using context they can verify and reference.

AI shouldn't just suggest a redline. It should help explain why that redline makes sense.

Integrates with the tools your teams already use

A modern CLM platform shouldn't require everyone in your organization to learn an entirely new way of working.

With SimpleDocs 360, business teams can initiate requests from Salesforce, Slack, or Microsoft Teams. Legal teams can draft, review, and redline agreements directly in Microsoft Word. Contracts can move through automated approvals and be sent for signature using DocuSign or Adobe Sign.

Executed agreements can then be centralized and managed in Repository, with connections to SharePoint and other enterprise systems.

The entire process remains connected, without requiring every participant to work inside the same application.

Built for global in-house legal departments

SimpleDocs 360 is designed for organizations that need sophisticated contract management without the complexity of traditional enterprise CLM.

The platform supports configurable permissions, single sign-on, audit trails, approval rules, and centralized administration.

Organizations can start with a single product and expand over time, or bring the complete contract lifecycle together through SimpleDocs 360.

SimpleDocs is already trusted by global legal and business teams at organizations including Herbalife, OneDigital, Ferrovial, Menzies Aviation, and Solventum.

As Jorge Fernández González of Solventum Legal explains:

"Throughout our implementation, Solventum and SimpleDocs collaborated closely to design and configure an AI-enabled document management workflow that supports our global needs as a public healthcare company. SimpleDocs has been a true partner to us every step of the way."

The promise of CLM, without the complexity

The original promise of CLM was compelling: connect the entire contracting process, eliminate manual work, and give organizations greater visibility and control over their agreements.

That promise hasn't changed. But the technology available to deliver it has.

With SimpleDocs 360, we're delivering on that promise through a fundamentally different approach. One that puts AI at the center of drafting, review, workflow automation, and contract intelligence, while making the experience simpler for everyone involved.

No more fragmented tools, unnecessarily complicated processes, or software that gets in the way of getting work done.

Just one connected platform that helps legal and business teams work faster, make better decisions, and stay in control of their contracts.

That's SimpleDocs 360. The promise of CLM, without the complexity.
