Upside Software’s flagship application, UpsideContract, addresses the needs of enterprise (e.g. Fortune 500, Global 2000), public sector (federal, state/provincial, municipal and health care), and Small & Medium Enterprise (SME) customers. Customers of UpsideContract realize significant cost savings while improving their own customer and supplier relationships.

“One Fortune 500 customer of Upside’s achieved reduced contract creation cycles of more than 30% and streamlined business processes from the implementation of UpsideContract together with dtSearch.” The “combination helped them perform a task in about 30 seconds, that would take weeks before this combined solution was available.”

Upside needed a powerful search engine to help users find key clauses and text in any contract or document: “A powerful and efficient search engine is essential when time is limited and you need access to relevant information – quick” For searching within the UpsideContract database, Upside chose the dtSearch Text Retrieval Engine.

“UpsideContract leverages dtSearch to help contract managers and members of the legal team quickly and efficiently search for language across all contracts (even those that have been scanned into the system such as PDFs). dtSearch is the key ingredient that helps sift through millions of documents quickly while leveraging the security model in UpsideContract. Users can easily perform impact assessments to determine where specific language or clauses are used and how often. The end result is data that is presented to users in a user-friendly format they have configured.”

“For example, one Fortune 500 customer of Upside’s achieved reduced contract creation cycles of more than 30% and streamlined business processes from the implementation of UpsideContract together with dtSearch.” This particular client would get finalized contracts in PDF format and had literally hundreds of thousands of documents. So when it came to looking for specific language and performing an impact analysis, “the power of the UpsideContract and dtSearch combination helped them perform a task in about 30 seconds, that would take weeks before this combined solution was available.”

“dtSearch is an invaluable tool that helps users quickly sift through millions of documents to find pertinent information,” said Ashif Mawji, CEO, Upside Software. “The fact that it can help our users find information in virtually any type of document attached to the contract record, in a highly responsive manner, is invaluable.” In sum: “dtSearch works hand-in-hand with UpsideContract to deliver robust contract management features with powerful search capabilities. Combining UpsideContract’s powerful contract governance with dtSearch’s superior search capabilities is a perfect combination.”
