Wolters Kluwer’s ELM Solutions has extended its best-in-class portfolio
of products and services that help corporate legal and claims
departments control costs while increasing revenues and improving
productivity by acquiring CLM Matrix, a leading provider of contract
lifecycle management (CLM) software. Wolters Kluwer disclosed the
acquisition in the First-Quarter 2019 Trading Update.
This acquisition enables Wolters Kluwer to offer a more comprehensive
suite of technology solutions to address the growing need of corporate
legal operations departments to increase responsibility for, and
oversight of, the contracting process.
“As corporations continue to increase demands on their legal operations,
our clients require a contract lifecycle management solution that aligns
with our current offerings,” said Jonah
Paransky, Executive Vice President and General Manager for Wolters
Kluwer’s ELM Solutions. “We are thrilled to respond to our customers by
delivering CLM Matrix’ solutions that provide deep contract management
expertise, a strong global presence, and intuitive technology to the
customer experience that will improve the legal operations workflow.”
CLM Matrix software, named a “strong performer” in the 2019 Q1 CLM
Forrester Wave report, helps companies streamline the contract process.
The acquisition adds technology that transforms the way companies manage
their contract lifecycle to ELM Solutions’ market-leading portfolio of
enterprise legal spend and matter management and legal analytics
solutions. CLM Matrix offers a highly customizable, easily implemented,
SaaS-based solution that works seamlessly with the Microsoft Office
technology platform to automate contract initiation, creation, and

companies insight into key performance metrics that can drive
organizational efficiencies and decrease contract cycle times.
