Sirion believes its consistent recognition as a Leader in the Magic Quadrant reaffirms its unwavering focus on enabling enterprise teams to contract with confidence and agility through relentless AI innovation and a unified experience.
“The future of contracting isn’t about automating documents — it’s about intelligence that works with you, for you,” said Ajay Agrawal, Founder and CEO of Sirion. “With our agentic CLM platform, we’ve moved beyond static workflows to a unified, conversational contracting experience where specialized AI agents collaborate to get real work done at enterprise scale. These agents understand the contract genome — the commercial DNA behind every clause — and apply judgment to protect its integrity, knowing when to act autonomously and when to route decisions through human validation. This is contracting that thinks, reasons, and acts — transforming CLM from a system of record into a system of intelligence.”
Trusted by hundreds of Fortune Global organizations, Sirion makes contracting effortless by empowering enterprise teams to handle any task — from drafting and redlining to extracting intelligence, assessing risk, and managing obligations — with a simple prompt. Sirion’s next-gen agentic CLM platform accomplishes this by uniting specialized AI agents with a full-spectrum conversational experience.
The Gartner report states “Organizations of all sizes need to digitize their CLM process to drive efficiency, continuity and compliance. Implementing CLM can also improve both cost and revenue management. Recent advancements in AI have also improved visibility into contractual obligations and mitigation of contract risk. Enterprises that can align on their CLM objectives are best positioned to choose a solution that serves as a single source of truth for all contract types.”
“As enterprises reinvent themselves for the digital era, contracting has become a vital source of agility,” said Renee Hook, Vice President, Global Enterprise Transformation and Enablement, IBM. “Sirion’s agentic CLM platform — developed in collaboration with IBM watsonx — reflects our shared belief that open, trustworthy AI foundations are essential to enterprise innovation. Together, we’re transforming contracting into a strategic driver of trust, intelligence, and speed – which aligns with IBM's forward-thinking business vision.”
Sirion’s new conversational, agent-driven contracting experience is quickly gaining momentum with enterprise customers. This shift in user preference is reflected in customer feedback. Sirion was recognized as a Customers’ Choice in the 2025 Gartner® Peer Insights™ Voice of the Customer for CLM, a market signal Sirion believes reinforces what the Magic Quadrant already highlights.
“This recognition, in my opinion, reflects how deeply we’re aligned with our customers and how boldly we’re innovating for them,” said Kanti Prabha, Co-founder and President of Sirion. “Our agentic CLM brings every team and every phase of contracting together through a unified, conversational experience — where intelligence is explainable, collaboration is seamless, and outcomes are trusted. That’s how we’re turning contracting into a true business advantage.”

2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ - Sirion
BUNIA, Congo (AP) — Authorities in northeastern Congo banned funeral wakes and gatherings of more 50 people Friday in an effort to curb a rapidly spreading Ebola outbreak in a region where medical workers have struggled with a lack of resources and pushback from angry residents.
The World Health Organization said that the outbreak now poses a “very high" risk for Congo — up from a previous categorization of “high” — but that the risk of the disease spreading globally remains low.
WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said 82 cases and seven deaths have been confirmed in Congo, but that the outbreak is believed to be “much larger."
There is no available vaccine for the Bundibugyo virus, which spread undetected for weeks in Congo's Ituri Province following the first known death while authorities tested for another, more common, Ebola virus and came up negative. There are now 750 suspected cases and 177 suspected deaths, though more are expected as surveillance expands.
“We are trying to catch up,” Congo Foreign Minister Thérèse Kayikwamba Wagner told the AP. “It is a race against the clock."
Supplies were being rushed to Ituri in the northeastern corner of the country, where nearly a million people have been displaced by armed conflicts over mineral resources. Ramping up contact tracing is a priority, Kayikwamba Wagner said.
In the provincial capital of Bunia, AP reporters saw empty emergency treatment centers, and doctors in the nearby town of Bambu using expired medical masks while tending to suspected Ebola patients.
The provincial government said Friday it was temporarily banning wakes and gatherings of more than 50 people. It said funerals must be conducted in strict compliance with health protocols. The authorities also required journalists to obtain a permit to report on the outbreak, impeding their work.
The illness also has been reported in two Congolese provinces to the south of Ituri — North Kivu and South Kivu, where the Rwanda-backed M23 rebel group controls many key cities, including Goma and Bukavu, where the rebels reported two cases.
The group said Friday it was creating a crisis team to fight the outbreak.
Kayikwamba Wagner said having the illness in rebel-held areas was alarming because “M23 is, despite whatever ambitions they may have, thoroughly ill equipped" to fight the disease.
She said the Congo government and rebels were not communicating on the outbreak.
The efforts of health officials and aid groups have met with pushback from communities due to misinformation or situations where medical policy has clashed with local customs such as burial rites.
On Thursday, an Ebola treatment center in Rwampara was set on fire by youths who were angered when they were blocked from retrieving the body of a friend who apparently had died of Ebola, according to witnesses and police.
The dangerous work of burying suspected victims is being managed wherever possible by authorities, because the bodies can be highly contagious and lead to further spread when they are prepared for burial or when people gather for funerals.
Julienne Lusenge, president of Women’s Solidarity for Inclusive Peace and Development, a local aid group, said the population’s anger is mostly due to misinformation. “We have lived through years and years of conflict and hardship so rumors spread easily,” she said.
She said some churches have told their congregations the outbreak is fake and that divine protection makes medical care unnecessary.
In the Ituri province mining town of Mongbwalu where the outbreak is believed to have originated, Lokana Moro Faustin lost his 16-year-old daughter to the disease and bemoaned the fact that he was not able to give her a proper goodbye because of Ebola restrictions.
“At first, we thought it was malaria. But then came vomiting, a high fever, nosebleeds, and bloody diarrhea,” he said, grief-stricken.
The teenager died on May 15 and her body was taken from the hospital by specialized teams and taken directly to the cemetery for a secure burial. Faustin was not able to say goodbye because he was in self-isolation, and it pained him to have his daughter buried by people who were not family.
The United Nations said Friday it released $60 million from its Central Emergency Response Fund to accelerate the response in Congo and in the region.
The U.S. has pledged $23 million in funding to bolster the response in Congo and Uganda, and said it would also fund the establishment of up to 50 Ebola treatment clinics in the affected regions.
Lusenge said her group’s small hospital near in Bunia lacks basic protective equipment, exposing nurses and doctors to possible infection, she said. “We only have hand sanitizer and a few masks for the nurses, but we need much more than that," Lusenge said.
Both the WHO and Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention believe the outbreak is larger than the cases reported so far.
The region’s already-weak health infrastructure and surveillance capacity has been further weakened by international aid cuts, experts say. The International Rescue Committee said it had to stop its surveillance activities in three out of five areas in Ituri over the last year because of funding cuts.
Armed conflict in the region further complicates efforts to handle the crisis. To get from Bunia to Mongbwalu, aid groups have to brace for potential attacks from armed groups.
“The outbreak can still be contained but the window for action is narrow,” Gabriela Arenas from the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies said Friday.
