## Key points

- Organizations are unlocking competitive advantages by mining decades of contract history with AI to improve deal outcomes and operational efficiency

Block Field

As AI reshapes enterprise operations, one of the most overlooked assets in digital transformation is a company's contract history. These "heritage" agreements, once deemed outdated or archival, are now emerging as a goldmine of operational insight—especially when powered by [AI-driven contract lifecycle management (CLM) tools](https://www.concord.app/blog/leveraging-ai-for-smarter-contract-lifecycle-management/). With nearly 60% of executives believing that contract data is key to organizational agility, the question isn't *if* businesses should digitize their legacy contracts, but *how fast* they can do it to stay competitive.

So, how can organizations transform scattered legacy contracts into high-impact, AI-powered heritage data lakes that drive strategic decisions?

In this episode of The[*Fast Track*](https://marketscale.com/shows/icertis/), hosted by [**Bernadette Bulacan**](https://www.linkedin.com/in/bernadettebulacan/), Chief Evangelist at **Icertis**, guest [**Jeramy Ivener**](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeramy-ivener-0249a7/), Corporate Vice President of Customer Success at **Icertis**, discusses how customer success is no longer just about software implementation—it's about leveraging historical contract data as a strategic asset. Together, they explore how early planning, AI innovation, and thoughtful heritage data strategies can unlock unseen value.

-  Heritage migration is more than a technical task—it's about preserving the contractual DNA of an enterprise to fuel future decisions. 
-  AI is enabling real-time contract visibility and transforming how organizations respond to supply chain volatility, inflation, and global disruptions. 
-  Success with [CLM platforms](https://marketscale.com/industries/podcast-network/icertis/reimagining-clm-alistair-maiden-on-human-centered-contracting-in-the-age-of-ai/) begins with strategic decisions early in the implementation process, especially around data governance and stakeholder alignment.
