Icertis is one of the leading companies that face a huge acceleration in its sales despite the COVID-19 crisis. The company continues its work in the pandemic and works hard to fulfill the requirements of its customers. Icertis has developed an Icertis Contract Intelligence (ICI), which is the source of all commercial, operational, and legal entitlements and obligations that lead the company’s intelligence system to work continuously and in the most effective manner.
The ICI’s work starts when it automatically transacts and digitalizes the contracting process, followed by extraction of the critical structured and unstructured data found in contracts. Once the extraction is done, it automatically connects this data to the operational support system. Icertis is one of the fastest growing software-based companies that covers a market of over $20 billion across various parts of the globe. Its growth rate was measured at a speed of 35% year over year.
On the growth and success of Icertis, its CEO and co-founder, Samir Bodas, always says that “I have seen Icertis’s success from a “nice to have” to a “critical to have” company, and there is a long distance we have traveled between these two sentences.” We are glad that we are a part of this company, and we will try our best to make Icertis one of the world’s best SaaS companies.
