Company mission

Our take

As part of its pitch, Icertis cites World Commerce & Contracting research which shows that optimized contract development and management can save companies an average of 9% of their annual revenue. It may seem that the company is targeting small margins, but with customers including Google, Microsoft, and Johnson & Johnson, the real numbers are huge.

The 2009-founded company offers a comprehensive range of products to manage every stage of a contract lifecycle from setup to approval and reporting, but its main value differentiator might be its AI applications, which can analyze previous negotiations at scale and visualize deep data insights on performance.

The company has seen a steady stream of investment since its founding and is using its 2022 VC from German multinational SAP to deepen the integration between the two companies' software tools. Alongside a range of other lucrative partnerships, Icertis has gained further attention due to its winning the 2023 Artificial Intelligence Excellence Award, led by Business Intelligence Group.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at Icertis

  • 7 Days for Humanity: To make it easier for employees around the globe to join the fight against racism and other forms of discrimination in person, Icertis added seven days of paid leave to volunteer, support, help, give, protest, and make themselves be seen and heard. In 2020, for example, many employees used one of their days to recognize Juneteenth, the celebration of the end of slavery in the United States. This benefit has been extended into 2021.
  • Diversity of Voices in the Room: We believe that diversity in our ranks—from employees around the globe to the Board—drives better outcomes for our teams and our customers. For instance, studies show that boards with women outperform companies without. Icertis is proud to include Karyn Smith and Penny Pritzker on our Board of Directors and Ursula Burns on our Board of Advisors, all of whom are champions of diversity and who support and advise us on living our FORTE values across the company. In addition, Icertis has an employee resource group (ERG) for female employees called Network of Women (NOW) that helps women connect with other women in the company to network, share experiences, and celebrate successes.
  • Catch the Match to Fight Racism: In 2020, for every dollar U.S. employees gave to an organization of their choice that fights racism, Icertis co-founders Samir Bodas and Monish Darda matched with an annual gift of up to $50,000 in the aggregate to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund.
