Iowa Hospital Association

Operating since 1929, Iowa Hospital Association (IHA) stored contracts in digital silos across teams, partners, and locations, with no centralized repository. The legal team had shrunk from five lawyers and staff to two, while still needing to review and update a large array of agreements. New Chief Legal Officer Abhay Nadipuram sought a way to streamline contract management for efficiency and compliance.

IHA adopted Workday Contract Lifecycle Management, powered by Evisort AI, after Nadipuram’s prior positive experience with Evisort. The team used Workday workflows to manage templates and centralize contracting, while AI-powered ingestion gathered agreements into a single intelligent repository. Analytics and role-based access give Legal Operations visibility across all documents while letting HR, Education, and Communications see only their own.

IHA reports that 100% of contracts are now centralized and analyzed by AI, with hundreds of hours saved every year. Staff can locate executed agreements without chasing Legal, and Legal Operations can see execution status, volume, and contract-type breakdowns that previously required manual review. Adoption of templates and intake forms has made day-to-day contracting smoother for business teams.

• • Centralizing decades of siloed contracts into an AI-searchable repository is foundational before analytics and workflow gains appear.
• • CLM value compounds when AI extraction and analytics go beyond storage—surface execution rates, volumes, and contract-type mix without manual pulls.
• • Role-based visibility lets Legal Ops oversee the estate while business units self-serve their own agreements.
