Honoring Excellence: Agiloft's Annual Pacesetter Awards

Celebrating You

Pacesetters are the heroic few who set a new standard of what’s possible. Across the Agiloft user community, there are pacesetters using CLM to solve tricky problems in new and innovative ways, paving the way for others to follow.

Though we believe all Agiloft customers are already ahead of the curve, there are some that are going above and beyond, solving the toughest challenges with innovation and inspiration. This awards program is designed to recognize the pacesetters within the Agiloft community that are stretching the limits of CLM.

Our 2024 Winners

The Connector

Brittany Lees, Director of Sales Operations at Healthcare Managed IT Services company, Health Catalyst, saw multiple disconnected contract processes after Health Catalyst acquired 8 companies, and determined they needed Agiloft to connect them all. She has created countless efficiencies in Health Catalyst’s sales organization by integrating Agiloft with Salesforce and their CPQ. This integration allows the team to forecast future months and quarters with greater accuracy using insights given to them through the contracts in Salesforce and Agiloft. Not only does this help the sales organization, connecting CPQ and Agiloft allows the Health Catalyst legal team to have full confidence that there were no human errors in the data entry.

The Data Liberator

Jim Gallo, Director of Business Applications at nonprofit scientific and education-focused National Geographic Society, found that the organization had thousands of contracts, but did not have the technology to access the data within those contracts. He loaded the 20,000 legacy contracts into Agiloft, creating access for his organization to the data stored within them. He also pushed to have Agiloft CLM integrated with their CRM (Salesforce) and HR system (Workday). These integrations released contract data to be combined with sales opportunity and human capital data; with direct access through these systems, National Geographic gained far greater insight into all the data (and dollars!) flowing through the contracting process.

The Force Multiplier

Dustin Slodov, Director of Procurement at Rush University Medical Center, transformed his organization’s contract management process, making it centralized, automated and accessible to the entire medical center. He led the initiative to automate the reviews and approvals of contracts through Agiloft, cutting out manual processes and notifications. In addition to this automation, Dustin integrated Docusign, streamlining the signature processes even further and is now starting to use Generative AI to search contracts far more efficiently than ever before. All of these improvements have led to a reduced turnaround time of at least 90%, freeing up time to accomplish other tasks.

The Simplifier

Richard Dudley, Legal Digitalisation Project Manager at global hospitality giant, Accor, after being dissatisfied with a previous CLM, made the switch to Agiloft to manage contracts with the help of Agiloft partner, Consilio. Richard, with the support of James Donad, General Counsel at Accor, stood up self-service portals for their main users to simplify and expedite the process for all parties. At the same time, thousands of contract records have been compiled into tables within Agiloft, so users can view and analyze the data to make more informed decisions. Richard and team have also pushed the utilization of contract templates, making the process easier for users, and contract data consistent and more accurate.

The Pacesetter

Susan Zagorski, Director of Legal Operations at agricultural sciences enterprise, FMC, has truly set the pace with innovation within Agiloft. After only recently implementing Agiloft with help from Agiloft partner FTI Consulting, she led her team in creating intake forms, which in the first 6 months captured 1000 requests, something that would have been impossible with their previous manual process. They’ve processed thousands of contracts in their short time with Agiloft, which has given them data and insight into millions of contract dollars over the past two years. Not only has Susan led the domestic contract volume expansion through Agiloft, she has spearheaded global expansion. FMC is now using Agiloft globally in seven different languages with templates in all of them. With this expansion, she has onboarded over 700 users into Agiloft in just over a year and has created reports and dashboards to track user activity.
