IntelAgree on the Contract Heroes Podcast

Choosing The Right CLM, Partners, and AI Tools For Your Organization

IntelAgree's Director of Partnerships, Joel Gershon, joins the Contract Heroes Podcast to make the case for independence in the CLM ecosystem. A partner who is free to recommend the right fit is the only kind whose recommendation truly means anything.

Independence Is What Makes Advice Worth Trusting

When teams choose a CLM, the advice they get is only as good as the freedom behind it. A captive consultant already made the decision for you. An independent partner earns trust because they could have recommended someone else and chose you.

Here's what this conversation breaks down:

  • Why a specialist who works across multiple platforms gives sharper advice than a generalist or a single-vendor reseller
  • Why a vendor would actually want partners who also work with its competitors
  • How consolidation in legal tech is quietly removing the honest broker, and why IntelAgree is betting on independence
  • Why adoption is the whole game in CLM, and how well-matched customers are the ones who succeed

You'll walk away understanding why the partners doing the real implementation work are the ones whose independence matters most.

Why Independence Matters

What We Look For in a Partner

The best partnerships share a few things in common. Here's what independence looks like in practice.

Independence

A partner free to recommend the right fit is the only kind whose recommendation counts. One recommendation from an independent partner outweighs ten from a captive one.

Real CLM Depth

Specialists who know multiple tools and real deployments give sharper advice than a generalist ever could. They know what fits which team because they have seen it work.

Adoption Over Setup

A well-matched customer actually uses the platform, and adoption is the whole game in CLM. The best partners focus on process and change management, so the rollout sticks.
