Case Study: Uplight Replaces Legacy CLM in Under a Month with Ironclad

How Uplight Ripped and Replaced Their Legacy CLM in Under a Month

Uplight, a mid-sized clean energy software company with a small legal team, needed to replace a legacy contract lifecycle management (CLM) system that no longer fit how the business was scaling. Their previous CLM kept the team stuck in implementation mode for nearly two years, created friction for internal stakeholders, and required too much manual effort to manage contracts and workflows. Uplight chose Ironclad’s CLM to better support legal operations across sales, finance, product, and engineering.

Ironclad helped Uplight rip and replace its old CLM in under a month by deploying five workflows, completing a Salesforce integration, and using support from an implementation consultant to quickly establish a solid foundation. The team also valued Ironclad’s live sandbox demo, AI capabilities, usability, Google Drive integration, and flexible customization. As a result, Uplight achieved an IMS score of 80, improved legal operations, and gained greater control over contracting work with positive feedback up to the executive level.
