Contracts are the backbone of business operations but managing them can be a pain when you have to toggle between platforms, leading to wasted time and errors. What if you could bring the power of your Agiloft KB directly into Microsoft Word? The Word Contract Assistant (ACA) add-in bridges this gap so your organization can work inside Word, an application that is used every day and unlock new levels of productivity and accuracy. 

Why the Word Contract Assistant ? 

The Word Contract Assistant isn’t just another feature; it's a strong, easy-to-set-up connection between two essential platforms. It’s not an application that you install to your entire computer, nor does it access your operating system, it only interacts with Word as a host. This design ensures simplicity, security, and efficiency.  

Let’s explore how the Word Contract Assistant transforms contract management: 

  • Faster contract creation: Create new contracts quickly with only essential details needed 

  • Streamlined template creation: Quickly create new templates, add clauses, and incorporate variables to meet your specific contract needs. 

  • Reduced risk: Populate your clause library and link variables across different tables with ease. 

  • Decreased administrative burden: Process agreements more efficiently with less contract drafting 

  • Ready for AI: Standardize contract language which is the first step towards AI
