- Docusign’s new AI tools help you create a new agreement based on predefined templates
- Iris is a new AI-powered reviewer that helps you get to the signature faster
- Companies with advanced contracting capabilities are more successful
Docusign has announced plans to expand its Intelligent Agreement Management platform in the UK with new AI-powered features to help users create and review contracts, manage negotiations and automate parts of their workflows.
The Esign company explained that its ultimate goal is to speed up time to signature by reducing some of the manual administrative processes that can be facilitated with automation.
According to company research, it currently takes about four to six weeks for an average B2B contract to be signed, but the entire scope of contract management is even worse.

Contracts are hugely inefficient
Currently, contracts move internally between organizational teams about 15 or more times, and most of the delays occur during the preparation and review stages – not the actual signing.
This is where artificial intelligence comes in, because Docusign believes that turning contracts into actionable, structured business data can make them easier to digest and therefore easier to edit.
Some of the new features include contract agreement preparation, which uses custom contracts to save teams from having to generate new contracts from scratch; Contract desk for tracking, reviewing and managing contract development progress; and a new AI-powered reviewer called Docusign Iris.
“With these new capabilities, we enable structured and connected collaboration throughout the deal process,” wrote senior director Maxime Hambersin.
Via Deloitte reporting, Docusign says companies with advanced contracting capabilities are 55% more likely to exceed their financial goals. On the other hand, poor supplier contract management can lead to a value loss of around 15% due to missed deadlines and discounts to be issued.
Given that it takes around £1,300 in human capital to fully create a new deal, Docusign’s new tools promise to significantly improve not only speed and efficiency, but specifically cost-effectiveness.
