Case Study: ASM International achieves 100% NDA compliance and streamlined NDA management with Zapproved's Legal Hold Pro

ASM International Streamlines NDA Management With Legal Hold Pro

ASM International, a Netherlands‑headquartered maker of semiconductor production equipment with about 1,600 employees, relied on a three‑person, geographically dispersed legal team to manage mission‑critical, project‑specific NDAs protecting sensitive customer IP. The manual workflow—targeted notifications, Q&A, formal acknowledgements, coordination with IT for access controls, and documenting disposition at project close—was labor‑intensive, slow, and hard to monitor across facilities.

ASM deployed Zapproved’s Legal Hold Pro to automate NDA notifications, attestations, and compliance tracking. The platform centralized status visibility and reporting, reduced time spent chasing acknowledgements, improved cross‑team communication, and enabled the company to achieve 100% compliance quickly; ASM now plans to extend the solution to other policy acknowledgements and reviews.
