In the world of AI technology, data is everything. As more companies look to incorporate AI into their polices and processes, it’s important to understand how to take full advantage of what AI can do.

There are many ways to do this, but one key way is to make sure the AI is pulling from a massive dataset. The more data the AI is able to pull from, the better the results will be. With strong results, company leaders can improve efficiency, refocus human resources and ultimately make better decisions for their businesses.

This is the case in all industries, including the world of Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM). In this industry, AI can remove some of the busy work involved in moving contracts forward and redirect the work employees do. AI doesn’t have to replace humans. With robust datasets, leaders can discover new ways to move their companies into the future.

Monish Darda, the CTO & Co-founder of Icertis, sheds further light on the transformative power of AI and its applications in the world of Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) and beyond.

Monish’s Thoughts:

“I think, as I said, you cannot separate out the data from artificial intelligence. You need that data for the intelligence to be intelligence, right? And we have one of the largest curated contract repositories on the planet. So, we have the data. That’s number one. The second is when you use the data, when you use the AI to do something, to ask something, to have a conversation, to generate something, it is also important that you take action on what you have done. So, if you say, I want to discover something, it is not enough to stop at discovery. You now have to do something with the discovery. And we have an enterprise platform that goes across some of the largest companies in the world, that solves some of the most complex contract problems that exist on the planet. And you can apply that technology, that way of taking action, to the results that you get from AI.”

Dell’s $95B AI backlog is turning AI rollouts into a delivery-date problem

Dell has a reported $95B AI backlog. AI infrastructure lead times are still a gating factor in 2026. CIO Dive and Bain & Co. expect higher IT costs, while pricing shifts and on-prem moves are changing procurement playbooks.

  • 01A vendor’s backlog number is becoming a planning input, it indicates when AI timelines are gated by physical delivery, not approvals.
  • 02Outcome-based AI pricing sounds like savings, but it shifts risk into defining outcomes, metering how they are measured, and vendor governance.
  • 03The return to private cloud and on-prem for some AI workloads suggests facilities power, rack space, and supply contracts belong in AI roadmaps early.

AI is now a DAM governance requirement, not a demo feature

CMSWire’s 2026 DAM coverage shows AI fit and governance now drive enterprise DAM selection. Gartner’s DAM reviews point to cross-functional adoption and third-party access needs. Plan for metadata strategy, rights workflows, and integration requirements during refreshes happening now.

  • 01If the DAM roadmap does not spell out how governance, metadata, and rights management will support AI-driven use cases, teams can get stuck in approval and control issues instead of moving forward with storage and delivery.
  • 02Bynder shows up as a “Customer Favorite” in Forrester’s Q1 2026 DAM Wave cited by CMSWire and also appears repeatedly in Gartner peer-rating views, a rare cross-benchmark signal procurement teams can use.
  • 03For organizations with legacy archives, CMSWire’s 20%+ 1990s hard-drive failure-rate reference reframes digitization as a time-bound risk, not a “nice-to-have” project.

OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra pitch is to skip integrations and run the software UI itself

OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra pitch is to skip integrations and run the software UI itself

OpenAI shipped GPT-6 Astra on Sept. 3 with a "computer use" capability that lets the model operate existing software UIs directly instead of requiring custom API integrations. The staged rollout through Daybreak, ChatGPT tiers, and AWS shifts the automation bottleneck from building connectors to governing UI-driven sessions, with speed measured in minutes per task as the cost input.

  • 01Astra operates software via pixels, keyboard, and mouse interactions to bypass API integration work on the long tail of internal tools without clean API access
  • 02OpenAI reported Astra at 40 minutes per task (47% faster than GPT-5.6 Sol at 75 minutes), making task time the practical proxy for compute cost modeling and throughput evaluation
  • 03Enterprises must define governance before broad rollout: eligible workflows for UI automation, audit logging systems, identity and secrets handling, and fallback procedures when UIs change or sessions break
