Following its new partnership with eMentalist, MD NEXT has launched Contract Assist, an innovative AI-powered solution designed to help financial institutions gain greater visibility into their market data vendor agreements. Contract Assist enables users to analyse multiple contracts simultaneously, compare terms and pricing structures, identify risks such as inconsistent clauses, renewal and termination obligations, usage restrictions, and compliance concerns, and receive immediate answers to specific contractual questions. By combining advanced AI capabilities with MD NEXT’s extensive market data consulting expertise, the solution helps organisations streamline vendor management, optimise market data spend, strengthen negotiations, and make faster, more informed decisions based on clear contractual intelligence.
