Agiloft is built to be configured. Summize is built to be used.

Choose Summize, a CLM built for adoption - not administration

Summize delivers enterprise-grade contracting without enterprise-grade complexity, unlike Agiloft.

Two approaches to CLM

Agiloft is designed to model highly specific workflows across legal, procurement, and finance. Organizations that choose Agiloft often invest heavily upfront to design, configure, and maintain their ideal system state. Summize is designed to meet teams where they already work. Instead of asking users to adapt to a highly configurable interface, Summize delivers structured contracting workflows inside Microsoft Word, Outlook, Teams, Salesforce and Slack.

The result: faster contracting, less operational overhead

Improving contract efficiency without compromising user-friendliness

Lucas Oil began its search for CLM software, and after a vendor selection process, the business chose Summize for its ability to streamline legal processes, the ease of migrating contracts into a single source of truth, and Summize’s user-friendly interface, designed for ease of use across all areas of an organization.

FAQs

How does Summize compare to Agiloft in terms of flexibility?

While Agiloft offers deep system engineering, Summize provides a contract lifecycle management (CLM) solution that balances enterprise-grade flexibility with high user adoption. Summize supports complex, multi-stage contracting workflows while prioritizing a “usability-first” approach. This means legal teams can handle advanced contract logic without the configuration bottlenecks associated with legacy CLM platforms.

Does Summize need dedicated IT or technical resources for implementation?

No. Summize is designed for self-service administration, allowing legal and operations teams to manage contract templates, automated workflows and approval hierarchies without dedicated IT or developer support. Unlike traditional CLMs that require heavy system engineering, Summize users can configure the platform through an intuitive interface, reducing the total cost of ownership and eliminating technical debt.

How does Summize integrate with existing business tools like Salesforce, Teams and Slack?

Summize maximizes cross-functional adoption by embedding legal workflows directly into the tools businesses already use. By integrating with Microsoft Word, Outlook, Teams, Salesforce, Slack and many more, Summize allows sales, procurement, finance and beyond to request, review and track contracts without leaving their primary tools. This frictionless approach means higher adoption and use compared to platforms that force users into a standalone portal.

How does Summize use AI for contract data extraction and obligation tracking?

Summize features a centralized contract repository that uses proprietary AI to automatically extract key metadata, dates and clauses. This provides instant visibility into contract obligations and legal risk across the entire business. Unlike complex legacy systems, Summize offers actionable reporting and automated alerts on renewals and milestones without requiring manual data entry or heavy backend configuration.

What’s the typical implementation timeline for Summize vs. traditional CLM providers?

Summize is built with rapid time-to-value in mind, with most customers going live within weeks. While traditional enterprise CLM rollouts can take 6-12 months, the Summize hybrid approach allows for a full phased rollout in under three months. This speed is achieved through our native integrations and a focus on core use cases that drive immediate efficiency.
