WorldCC’ s“ From Control to Connection” reveals how Agentic AI is dismantling contract fragmentation

From Control to Connection”( WorldCC, May 2025) argues contracts are“ impenetrable walls” fragmented across siloed systems, losing 8.6 % of annual value. Agentic AI transforms CLM into intelligent platforms. Specialized agents – foundational, interactive, and orchestration – turn contracts into“ engines of intelligence” connecting legal, procurement, and operations.

Key capabilities include natural language queries, autonomous redlining, and predictive tracking. Procurement benefits from faster cycles and risk automation; however, with only 17 % of teams tech-adaptive, skills uplift is urgent.
The report emphasizes readiness and explainable AI to ensure trust. Sirion’ s management of seven million contracts proves the concept. Ultimately, contracts shift“ from control to connection,” allowing humans to focus on value while AI handles routine intelligence.
