On this episode of the Contract Heroes podcast, we’re joined by Matt Patel, COO and Co-Founder of Malbek, to talk all things CLM replacement. Matt breaks down the common pitfalls of legacy systems—from high maintenance costs and outdated architecture to poor user adoption—and explains why many organizations are rethinking their approach.
We dive into the challenges of navigating a crowded CLM market, what red flags to watch for (like low logins and workaround-heavy workflows), and how to tell whether your issues stem from technology or process. Matt also shares actionable tips for teams just starting their CLM evaluation journey and what to look for in a modern, scalable solution.
