The energy at Icertis Connect 2026 in Boston was unmistakable. Practitioners from legal, procurement, and other functions gathered to talk about contracts and to talk seriously about AI. Not AI in theory. AI in practice.
CloudMoyo arrived as both a sponsor and a long-standing premier Icertis implementation partner. We left with a clear sense of where the market is heading and a renewed conviction that the enterprises best positioned for what’s next are the ones acting now.
Here’s what stood out.
The State of AI in Contracting: From Experimentation to Execution
The headline shared at Icertis Connect 2026 said it plainly: AI-native contracting is no longer an aspiration. It’s a current operational reality.
Research shows that 44% of organizations are already using AI for contracting workflows, with generative AI contract review, AI-powered contract summarization, and AI contract redlining software leading adoption. For anyone who attended Connect even two years ago, that pace of change is striking.
But the conference didn’t shy away from the friction, either. The AI trust gap in contracting remains real:
- 55% of organizations cite data output quality as a significant concern
- 44% say they lack sufficient trust in AI’s autonomous capabilities
- Mitigating AI hallucination in legal contracts and building governed AI for contract intelligence were recurring themes across sessions
This is the tension defining 2026. Technology is moving fast and enterprise confidence is catching up. Organizations that bridge that gap, moving from cautious pilots to confident, enterprise-wide deployment, are the ones pulling ahead.
Key Themes from Icertis Connect Boston
Agentic AI and the Future of Contract Workflows
The biggest conversation at Icertis Connect centered on agentic AI contracting workflows. Icertis shared its vision for agentic negotiation and full lifecycle intelligence, where autonomous contract drafting, agentic contract negotiation tools, and legal tech agentic workflows work together to fundamentally change how legal, procurement, and other functions operate.
However, not every agentic use case is ready for enterprise deployment today. The organizations seeing the most value are being deliberate about sequencing—identifying which workflows are production-ready, and which require stronger governance scaffolding before go-live.
At CloudMoyo, responsible AI in contract management is a design principle baked into every engagement.
The Icertis Platform: Engage, Operate, Analyze
One of the conference’s most anticipated sessions was the deep dive into Icertis’ latest platform direction, organized around three pillars: Engage, Operate, and Analyze.
The Icertis Engage Operate Analyze framework is designed to drive faster decisions, smarter insights, and greater self-sufficiency across the contract lifecycle. Product roadmap sessions showcased how Icertis Vera AI is evolving to support more complex decisioning, pushing toward AI-driven contract lifecycle automation and self-correcting contracting workflows.
For customers already invested in the platform, the message was clear. Investment is compounding.
Enterprise Integrations and Ecosystem Expansion
One of the most compelling customer stories from Icertis: a major enterprise is retiring 19 source-to-contract applications by consolidating onto Icertis. That’s the scale of enterprise source-to-contract application consolidation happening in the market right now.
SAP Ariba contract lifecycle management integration, Icertis Salesforce contract integration, and broader enterprise CLM integration were central themes in the ecosystem track. The vision of a unified contract data repository that’s synchronized with core ERP systems and enables true ERP and CLM data synchronization, is already an operational reality for leading enterprises.
Customer Stories and Peer Learning
The peer learning sessions at Icertis Connect are consistently among the most valuable parts of the event and this year was no exception.
Customer presentations surfaced consistent patterns across industries:
- The importance of a clear contract intelligence migration strategy from day one
- Organizational dynamics around building an enterprise CLM center of excellence
- How accelerating CLM time-to-value requires both technical rigor and change management
- CLM return on investment (ROI) as a measurable outcome, not a theoretical exercise
Expert Takeaways: CloudMoyo Attendees Share What Stood Out
The conversations at Icertis Connect reflected a broader shift in how enterprises are thinking about contract intelligence and AI. Here’s what our team took away:
“At Icertis Connect Boston, the conversation centred on Icertis Vera AI with Vera Engage—an agent-driven drafting and redlining experience where AI serves as the first touchpoint on every contract, accelerating negotiations, scaling legal resources, and turning legal precedents into automated compliance playbooks. What struck me most was the shift in enterprise mindset; leaders aren’t debating whether to adopt AI in contracting anymore. They’re debating how fast they can make it the default. With 44% of organizations already using AI for contracting workflows and agentic automation moving from experimentation to execution at scale, the gap between early movers and everyone else is widening fast.
What resonated the most with me was the ‘data foundation first, AI second’ approach. The most grounded conversations in the room weren’t about AI features, but about data and enterprise readiness. Enterprise leaders consistently pointed to one overlooked truth: building a clean, structured, and connected pool of contract data is the critical cornerstone of any AI initiative, and most organizations underinvest in it. AI adoption is widespread and delivering measurable results, but with assets as critical as contracts, confidence must be earned through disciplined governance, not just bold deployment. The enterprises winning aren’t the ones chasing the flashiest AI, but the ones that built the right foundation years ago or understand that they need to build one with experts who know how to do it.”
– Anniesh Gupta, Director Strategic Account Management & Business Development
This reinforces what we’re seeing across industries: a strong push toward AI-native contracting and a growing recognition that getting there requires the right implementation partner.
