What’s the Deal With Robocalls?

Telemarketing calls – we all get them.  We’ve all received unwanted phone calls with someone selling a product or service.  Have you wondered how they got your name and phone number?  What legislation or regulations are in place to prevent these unwanted calls?  According the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the FTC “takes aggressive legal action to make sure telemarketers abide by the Do Not Call Registry” (in accordance to a post by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC)). 

To date, the FTC claims they filed 134 enforcement actions against companies for violation of telemarketing regulations and recovered over $50 million in penalties.

Contract review is a daunting task for paralegals.  In most cases, having an extra set of eyes to review contract terms is critical to ensure no "bad" clauses slip through the cracks.  The duty of reviewing agreement terms and clauses is a time-staking task, making the effort and focus it takes to review contracts priceless to an organization.  Moreover, paralegals bear a great amount of work to complete the contract negotiation and signing process quickly — all while preventing unwanted or risk associated clauses from being overlooked in the contract’s final review.  Having a smart assistant handle contract data extraction, data entry, and contract tracking can be a lifesaver to the busy paralegal and, in many cases, can provide assurance that your organization’s contracts will be mistake proof. 

Manually importing and analyzing contracts can be time-consuming, frustrating, and often results in lost documents or other mistakes.  Having an expert handle data extraction for your organization can provide better results and a seamlessly organized contract repository.  Artificial Intelligence (AI) can detect and prevent predicaments that cause your organization to be at risk.  Learn from this real-world case study how a CobbleStone Software client utilized contract data extraction services and text mining smart tools, transforming their contract management process to be supported with data-driven strategy.
