AI-driven automated agreement workflows boost ROI by nearly 30%, study finds.

A new report by Docusign and Deloitte reveals that companies using AI-powered automated agreement workflows see nearly 30% higher return on investment (ROI) compared to those that do not. The study, involving over 1,100 senior leaders, highlights significant efficiency gains, cost savings, and improved accuracy in agreement management when AI is integrated end-to-end rather than in fragmented tools. Key benefits include 36% efficiency gains, 36% cost avoidance, and 29% labor cost savings, with notable improvements across legal, sales, procurement, customer experience, and HR teams. The report emphasizes that the highest returns come from mature AI adoption that connects agreement data across the full lifecycle, transforming business processes and driving new revenue opportunities.
