Using artificial intelligence (AI), cDiscovery means that for the first time, all contractual information can be centrally managed, whether legacy or new. Designed to integrate easily into existing systems, target customers for cDiscovery are corporate counsel, CFOs and financial controllers, sales and customer management. First deployments and trials have already commenced.

Says CEO of Seal Software, Ulf Zetterberg, “Organisations usually have numerous legacy documents that still need to be accessible, yet which are frequently hidden or hard to access, whether paper or digitally based. Once contracts have been created, they are often lost from sight. Seal cDiscovery overcomes this issue and, by automating much of the process, drastically reduces the time and effort that would be involved manually.”

Benefits include reduced exposure to risk (for example, missed milestones), better control over the financial expenditure associated with contracts, and improved support for sales and customer relationship management, by providing clearer support data for negotiation processes.

Using artificial intelligence, cDiscovery is able to identify legacy contracts and other documents stored in hidden Windows file shares or other locations such as users’ laptops, then automatically extract key milestone terms. cDiscovery also integrates the contracts and key data into other systems - such as contract management, finance, ERP and CRM systems – so that they remain visible and accessible. cDiscovery can be easily customised to the individual organisation.

cDiscovery cDiscovery is designed to support multi-hosted, distributed and scalable deployments. It is available in different options: as a one-off contract search and capture tool; an enterprise model for on-going search, extraction and integration of legacy documents; and a cloud-based service (Seal’s cloud or the user’s chosen cloud provider) that supports remote access, for instance from users’ laptops.
