Understanding ELM

The enterprise legal management category is dominated by vendors writing their own playbooks. Most of what gets published about ELM is designed to move buyers toward a particular product, not to help them make a better decision. These guides exist to give mid-market in-house legal teams an honest foundation — what ELM is, what it

should do, where most implementations go wrong, and what to look for before you commit to any platform, including mot-r. Work through them in order if you're starting from scratch. Jump to the section that matches where you are if you're already mid-evaluation.
