Project Highlight - Contract Drafting AutomationProposed, designed, and implemented a contract drafting solution that automated the drafting of a contract by validating and transforming contract data from an internal ticketing tool to an internal CLM, resulting in a 100% reduction in manual efforts in drafting the initial contract and removal of human drafting errors.At a high level the solution made use of a Lambda function written in Typescript to receive and validate the contract data from the internal ticketing tool before transforming it for the applicable internal CLM API for contract creation. The solution launched with support for one contracting work stream and was designed to be extendable to other work streams that could utilize the same mechanism.
