Agiloft Announces Winners of 2025 Pacesetter Awards

Agiloft, renowned for its prowess in data-first contract lifecycle management (CLM), revealed the recipients of its annual Pacesetter Awards on October 2, 2025. This year's program celebrates the innovators and trailblazers who are changing the landscape of contracting as we know it.

The Pacesetter Awards commend the clients in the Agiloft community who have fearlessly faced their biggest contracting hurdles. These awardees have employed creativity and innovation, yielding measurable results. They have embarked on journeys from scaling up AI initiatives, liberating contract data, to simplifying intricate workflows, demonstrating the true spirit of transformation in contract management.

These awards come at a pivotal moment when there is a growing demand for CLM solutions. Analysts estimate that organizations are losing about 9% of their annual revenue due to ineffective contract management practices. Moreover, the CLM software market is forecasted to expand to approximately $8.1 billion by 2026. As businesses traverse through increasingly complex regulations and supply chain dynamics, innovative contracting strategies have become essential.

Eric Laughlin, CEO of Agiloft, expressed his admiration for the award winners, stating, "I want to congratulate our 2025 Pacesetter award winners for the incredible results they have achieved with Agiloft." He continued by sharing inspiring success stories from some of the award recipients. One company manages nearly 900,000 contracts and has smoothly navigated three corporate divestitures. Another team processes 4,500 contracts annually, leveraging user-friendly dashboards and instructional videos to optimize operations. Furthermore, an awardee reported a remarkable 30% reduction in administrative hours spent on invoices and a 20% drop in outstanding payments, successfully onboarding 60% of providers through automation.

These achievements showcase how Agiloft's solutions empower organizations, facilitating fully configurable AI solutions throughout the contract lifecycle.

The Pacesetter Awards not only recognize exceptional customer success but also serve as a platform to share inspiring stories that encourage transformation across various sectors. The winners will be honored at a virtual celebration hosted by Agiloft's leadership in late October 2025. They will also gain visibility across the Agiloft community, website, and social media platforms.
