Case Study: The E.W. Scripps Company achieves centralized contract clarity and faster insights with LinkSquares

The E.W. Scripps Company Revolutionizes Century-Old Contract Challenges

The E.W. Scripps Company, a century-old broadcasting organization, faced fragmented, paper-heavy contract management—contracts dating back to the 1930s were scattered across repositories, desktops, and file cabinets after multiple acquisitions. To modernize and centralize its agreements, Scripps partnered with LinkSquares, deploying LinkSquares’ smart repository and Analyze, and beginning implementation of the Finalize pre-signature tool and generative AI capabilities.

LinkSquares ingested and standardized roughly 3,000 contracts (including a single large file with no metadata), established a searchable, governed repository, and guided Scripps on naming conventions and best practices. As a result, LinkSquares enabled faster responses to information requests, better analytics and reporting, greater business buy-in, and the creation of a contracts center of excellence that streamlined review and negotiation workflows.
