At its quarterly State of Digital Contracting (SDC) event, Ironclad, the leading digital contracting platform, announced the launch of its Skills Verified badge program, the initial phase of a more comprehensive certification program. The badge program will encourage Ironclad product adoption, validate technical skills within Ironclad, and give recipients referenceable workplace merits.
"Contract management and execution is quickly growing beyond the legal purview. We have seen a 285% year-over-year increase in sales workflows launched a 230% YoY increase for HR, and a 214% YoY increase for procurement. Our data shows that for every legal user, there are eight business users. Contracts are no longer simply agreements – companies are using them as a vehicle for innovation, speed, and efficiency. When your contracts move fast, your business moves fast."
- Leyla Seka, COO of Ironclad,
Across organizations in the business, teams use Ironclad to:
-
Navigate complex business environments
-
Provide flexibility and nimbleness
-
Streamline vendor contracts at scale
New badges signal the first phase of Ironclad certification
As a precursor to offering official, legally defensible credentials, Ironclad is releasing Skills Verified badges that users may acquire by completing a learning course and passing exams. Skills Verified Badges for Sales Contracting, Clickwrap, Contract Ownership, Core Administration, and Procurement are included in the learning paths. Implementing its more formal certification program, which will confirm mastery with a comprehensive, proctored examination, is currently on the company's plan.
"Ironclad's Skills Verified badges offer improved confidence in skills competence to the earner, and also act as a powerful resume differentiator. Additionally, employers looking to hire professionals with verified digital contracting skills can find talent pools easily by accessing the Ironclad Badge Earner Directory."
- Caitlin Wood, director of customer success at Ironclad
