You asked, we listened. This release expands your TCN investment with two major capabilities: native Microsoft Word integration and our most comprehensive clinical research content library yet.
Microsoft Word Add-In (Beta)
Access TCN’s AI-powered contract analysis directly in Microsoft Word. Review, redline, and negotiate agreements without switching platforms while maintaining full sync with your TCN workspace.
Core Features:
Word-Embedded TCN Access
Work inside Microsoft Word while staying connected to The Contract Network. Analyze, markup, negotiate, and publish agreements in your familiar Word environment without losing platform visibility.
One-Click AI Markups
Deploy TCN’s AI Markup tool directly in Word to reduce manual review work, minimize errors, and accelerate negotiations—all while following your established playbooks.
Profile Guidance in Context
Access your organization’s playbook positions, fallback language, and guidance exactly when and where you need them. Get instant TCN Profile context to make faster, more consistent decisions during live document review.
Sync Between Workspaces
Edits, comments, and redlines made in Word automatically sync with your TCN workspace. Maintain one source of truth across teams, reviewers, and counterparties.
The Word Add-In brings the power of The Contract Network directly into Word—another way to experience the platform you already love. Whether you prefer reviewing agreements in your browser or in Word, your experience and data stay fully connected.
