Overview
Evisort, now available as Workday Contract Lifecycle Management following Workday's acquisition in September 2024, is an AI-powered contract management platform that uses machine learning to extract, analyze, and monitor contract data at enterprise scale. The platform's core capability is its AI contract extraction engine, which reads uploaded contracts — in any format — and automatically identifies and categorizes key provisions: parties, effective dates, payment terms, renewal clauses, governing law, liability caps, and dozens of other data points. This extraction enables organizations to build a searchable, structured contract repository from historical agreements without manual data entry. For legal operations teams, Workday Contract Intelligence provides a smart contract repository with full-text search, AI-extracted metadata fields, obligation tracking, and automated renewal alert workflows. Legal teams can answer questions about their entire contract portfolio — which agreements contain most-favored-nation clauses, or which contracts expire in Q3 — in seconds rather than hours of manual review. Organizations with existing Workday HR or finance deployments benefit most from the integration, as contract metadata can flow directly into Workday's broader operational reporting. The pre-signature workflow module handles contract requests, internal approvals, redlining, and e-signature collection. Workday CLM integrates with DocuSign, Salesforce, and Microsoft 365. Pricing is enterprise-negotiated as part of Workday licensing. Best for mid-to-large enterprises with significant contract volumes, particularly those already on the Workday platform.
Key features
AI Contract Data Extraction
Machine learning extracts 50+ data points from contracts automatically — parties, dates, values, payment terms, auto-renewal provisions, and custom-defined fields. Works on existing contracts without re-tagging.
Workday Financial Integration
Native integration with Workday Financial Management and HCM. Contract data (payment obligations, headcount-related contracts) flows into financial planning and analysis workflows without manual data entry.
Contract Repository and Search
Central searchable repository for all contracts with AI-extracted metadata. Natural-language queries return filtered contract sets — 'show all contracts with termination for convenience clauses expiring in Q4.'
Obligation and Compliance Tracking
Track financial obligations, delivery milestones, and compliance requirements across the portfolio. Automated alerts route to responsible owners.
Reporting and Analytics
Dashboards on contract value, obligations, risk exposure, and renewal pipeline. Designed for both legal and finance audiences.
CLM Workflow
Contract creation, negotiation, approval routing, and e-signature workflows for forward-looking contract management.

Frequently asked questions
Evisort was acquired by Workday in 2023 and is now branded as Workday CLM. The product continues to operate and develop under Workday's ownership.
Pricing is not published. As part of the Workday portfolio, it is typically sold as part of an enterprise Workday engagement. Contact Workday sales for current pricing.
Evisort's pre-acquisition capabilities were strong for any enterprise. Post-acquisition, the product's roadmap and integration focus are increasingly Workday-centric. Non-Workday enterprises should evaluate Ironclad or LinkSquares as alternatives.
Ironclad is stronger for legal workflow automation and counterparty collaboration. Workday CLM is better for organizations that need contract intelligence connected to financial systems, particularly Workday customers.
Yes. AI extraction of contract data from existing portfolios is the core differentiator. Upload contracts and receive structured, queryable data without manual tagging.
