CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA - MARCH 19, 2025 - iKinetiq Innovation Solutions has released the first-ever structured evaluation of the best Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) platforms for obligation management. This annual survey ranks the CLM platforms based on their ability to track, enforce, and automate contractual obligations—critical functions for compliance, risk mitigation, and operational oversight.
Why This Survey Matters
While most CLM evaluations focus on contract generation and execution, obligation management has remained a largely overlooked yet essential function. This report provides much-needed clarity on which platforms excel at managing regulatory, financial, and operational obligations, and which fall short.
“Obligation management isn’t just a CLM feature; it’s a compliance and risk management necessity,” said Stuart Brock, Founder and President of iKinetiq Innovation Solutions. “Missed obligations can lead to regulatory fines, contractual disputes, financial losses and operational disruptions. Our inaugural survey provides an objective, data-driven analysis to help businesses identify the right solution for their needs.”

Industry Implications
