REPORT: The 2025 State of Contracting

Contract Intelligence for Financial Services

Unleash the Power of the Icertis Platform to Increase Business Velocity, Manage Obligations, Reduce Risk, and Meet Regulatory Compliance

The Challenge

Manual and siloed contracting processes can’t keep up with shifting markets and regulations

Today, the BFSI Industry – spanning banks, financial services institutions, and insurance companies – faces increasing regulations while operating in challenging market conditions, exacerbating the complexities surrounding the high-volume of contracts that underpin all products and services offered as well as the network of third-party relationships.

In this context, inefficient manual contracting and an inability to easily search and amend agreements pose untenable barriers to business velocity, managing obligations, reducing risk and managing regulatory compliance requirements.

The Solution

Maximize value with industry-leading, comprehensive contract intelligence

Contract intelligence empowers banking, insurance, and financial services institutions with visibility and control. At the core of digital transformation initiatives, contract intelligence centralizes contract management and integrates contract data into other systems of record to advance business efficiencies and scale.

The Icertis platform enables your organization to better understand and effectively manage obligations and risk, ensure regulatory compliance including across third-party suppliers, and streamline contracting to win business and recognize revenue.
