What has led to the sudden rise and demand for cloud based clm?

In today’s world, businesses rely heavily on contracts. Especially in B2B relationships, doing business on the basis of a verbal agreement and a handshake doesn’t work when business relationships are now fully electronic and digital. CLM vendors have improved their products’ usability with an average rating of 4.14 for administrator usability and for end user usability, rising from an average of 3.68 in 2016 to 4.12 in 2018, according to a report by Andrew Bartels, Forrester Research Group VP and Principal Analyst.

The improved versatility of hosted solutions and affordable cloud-based services has led to many companies pursue a complete digital transformation of their business model. This change is especially prevalent in legal organizations which need newer and more innovative ways to manage their contracts. Forrester expects contract lifecycle management software market "to grow by 18% in 2018 to more than $1 billion in revenues," with Cloud the dominant deployment model (Cloud deployments are increasing at a rate of 30% year-over-year).

Two critical factors that have led to the sudden spike:

• • Cloud Computing
  • Internet of Customers

Traditionally, the software would generally be purchased outright and loaded onto a device as an on-premise solution. This led to the lagging of speed and maneuverability which became necessary to match the constantly changing business and legal needs of most enterprises. The inability to meet customer needs and a dependency on IT to keep the solution afloat made CLM a source of frustration and complexity. A second stimulant pulling enterprises towards adopting contract management solutions is a changing relationship between customers and companies; which has now become highly personalized and interactive two-way relationship.
