The belief that Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) is too difficult to implement is unfounded, much like claiming that managing risk and compliance or handling finance is too complex. Businesses are inherently complex due to various factors such as global connections, innovation, and digitalization. Waiting for contracts to become simpler is not a viable solution.

Instead, it’s crucial to understand what aspects of the process can be automated and have a clear understanding of the desired outcomes. Implementing technology alone is not a magic fix; practical considerations such as having defined processes, identifying low-hanging fruit for automation, securing executive support, and allocating the necessary resources are essential. Without a holistic support system encompassing people, processes, budget, and executive buy-in, leveraging technology becomes challenging.

CLM implementation requires a well-thought-out approach and ongoing management to ensure success.

This notion that CLM is too difficult to implement. I think is about as false as saying that well, you know, risk and compliance is too complex. So let's let's not manage risk and let's not comply. By the way, finance is really complex. So maybe we shouldn't know, pay our invoices and do we really need to pay our employees? I mean, yes. You know, businesses are complex. And by the way, they're getting more complex because of how many connections they have, because of how global they are, because of the speed of innovation, because of the role of digitalization, if you're waiting for contracts to become more simple, that's just never going to happen. But the key to thinking about the complexity question in CLM is do you know what you're automating? Do you have a process that you want to automate because technology no matter how simple it is to use is not plug and play, right? We're not just going to buy technology and all of a sudden that's gonna make everything easy because we're going to get an easy button and all of a sudden we'll be able to be efficient and compliant and optimized and all of these things. We have to think a bit more practically. So do I do I have a process? Do I know what I'm automating? Do I have the low hanging fruit of where I want to start because we shouldn't be boiling the ocean. Do I have the right executive support you know, do I have management that's going to be with me and support me on the journey? Do I have the resources internally to be able to not only go through this implementation, but then to continue to manage the technology. Because without the right people and process and budget and executive support, technology, you know, on in itself is is, you know, is difficult to wrap your mind around if you don't have that entire support system. Bye.

Atlona's Omega 2 puts 4K video, USB and Ethernet on one Cat 6A cable

Atlona's Omega 2 puts 4K video, USB and Ethernet on one Cat 6A cable

TWICE reports that Atlona added Omega 2 to its Omega Series on Oct. 22, 2026. According to Atlona, the HDBaseT 3.0 lineup carries uncompressed 4K/60 4:4:4 video, USB 2.0 data and Gigabit Ethernet over a single Cat 6A cable at distances up to 330 feet. The company says presenters get one cable and integrators get fewer boxes behind the display.

  • 01Omega products shown in 2019 were rated for up to 330 feet. Atlona says Omega 2, which uses HDBaseT 3.0, moves uncompressed 4K/60 4:4:4 video plus USB 2.0 data and Gigabit Ethernet across a single Cat 6A cable for distances up to 330 feet.
  • 02On the AT-OME2-E2311 transmitter and AT-OME2-D2311 receiver, bi-directional Power over HDBaseT lets either end power the other, so the link runs on one power supply, according to TWICE. That could mean one fewer power supply to mount behind a display.
  • 03Two models, the AT-OME2-E2311 transmitter and the AT-OME2-D2311 receiver, are already available. Atlona expects the AT-OME2-E2321-WP wall plate and the AT-OME2-R2742 switcher to begin shipping in mid-November.
