Document Review with AI: Cloud or On-Premise – You Decide

Document review has always been one of the most time-consuming, complex, and risk-sensitive activities for legal and procurement teams. Contracts, amendments, internal policies, vendor agreements, and NDAs must be reviewed with extreme care. Each document often goes through multiple revisions, involves several stakeholders, and requires coordination with external parties such as law firms, vendors, or business partners. Even small inconsistencies or overlooked clauses can lead to compliance issues, financial exposure, or legal disputes.

What truly changes this process is not just AI but GenAI with Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG).

With elDoc, document review moves far beyond traditional automation or keyword search. elDoc combines GenAI, RAG, OCR, and document intelligence, allowing AI to understand documents in context, not just process text. RAG ensures that GenAI responses are always grounded in your actual documents, clauses, and versions, eliminating hallucinations and maintaining full traceability to source content.

This means elDoc doesn’t just summarize or extract data — it can:

• Answer complex legal and procurement questions based on your documents
• Compare contracts against internal standards or past agreements
• Identify risks using contextual understanding, not static rules
• Explain why a clause is risky and where it appears
• Suggest improvements while referencing approved language or templates

Document review becomes a conversation with your contracts, powered by GenAI that is securely anchored to your document repository through RAG.

As a result, document review with elDoc is no longer just faster.
It becomes intelligent, consistent, explainable, and significantly less risky, whether deployed in the cloud or fully on-premise. Legal and procurement teams gain the confidence that AI insights are accurate, auditable, and always based on their own trusted data — not generic models or external knowledge.

In short, elDoc doesn’t just bring AI to document review.
It brings enterprise-grade GenAI with RAG built specifically for real-world legal and procurement workflows.

What AI in elDoc Truly Delivers for Document Review

When we talk about AI in elDoc, we don’t mean generic chatbots or isolated AI features. We mean practical, enterprise-grade GenAI with RAG, applied directly to real legal and procurement document workflows. Every AI insight is grounded in your actual documents, clauses, and versions—ensuring accuracy, traceability, and trust.

1. AI-Powered Contract Summarization

elDoc instantly generates clear, structured, and context-aware summaries for complex documents, including:

• Long legal contracts
• Vendor and supplier agreements
• Framework and master service agreements
• Internal policies, annexes, and appendices

Instead of manually reading dozens or hundreds of pages, teams receive concise summaries that highlight what truly matters.

What the summary includes:

• Key obligations and responsibilities
• Financial and commercial terms
• Termination and renewal conditions
• Liability, indemnity, and risk exposure
• Governing law and jurisdiction

Real-world examples:

“Summarize this 60-page vendor contract and highlight all termination clauses and penalties.”
elDoc produces a structured summary with direct references to each clause.

“Give me an executive summary of this NDA for business approval.”
elDoc delivers a one-page overview focused on confidentiality scope, exclusions, and risk.

“What are our main obligations under this framework agreement?”
elDoc lists obligations with exact clause references, grounded through RAG.

Result

Legal and procurement teams understand key obligations, liabilities, and risks in seconds not hours, while maintaining full traceability to the original document.

2. Risk & Anomaly Detection

elDoc automatically scans documents to detect legal, financial, and operational risks by understanding clauses in context, not just keywords.

What elDoc detects:

• Unusually high liabilities or penalties
• One-sided termination clauses
• Hidden auto-renewals
• Non-standard indemnification language
• Ambiguous or contradictory terms

Real-world examples:

“Identify all high-risk clauses in this supplier contract.”
elDoc highlights termination, liability caps, and penalty clauses with explanations.

“Are there any clauses that deviate from our standard risk policy?”
elDoc flags anomalies and compares them to internal benchmarks.

“Explain why this clause could be risky.”
elDoc provides contextual reasoning grounded in the document via RAG.

Result

Risks are surfaced early and consistently, reducing reliance on manual review and minimizing oversight.

3. Missing Clause Identification

Contracts often appear complete but lack critical protections. elDoc detects missing or incomplete clauses by comparing documents against:

• Internal templates
• Past approved contracts
• Regulatory or policy requirements

What elDoc checks for:

• Missing termination rights
• Absent confidentiality or data protection clauses
• No force majeure or governing law
• Missing tax, audit, or compliance provisions

Real-world examples:

“Check if this contract is missing any mandatory legal clauses.”
elDoc identifies missing sections and explains potential impact.

“Does this vendor agreement include a data protection clause?”
elDoc confirms absence and suggests standard wording.

Result

Teams avoid signing contracts with structural gaps that create long-term exposure.

4. Version Comparison Focused on Risk, Penalties, and Tax

elDoc compares contract versions with semantic understanding, not just redlines.

What elDoc compares:

• Changes in penalties and liquidated damages
• Modified tax clauses or VAT responsibility
• Shifts in risk allocation and liability caps
• Altered payment or pricing terms

Real-world examples:

“Compare Version 2 and Version 5 and show only risk-related changes.”
elDoc highlights added penalties and increased liabilities.

“What changed in tax responsibility between drafts?”
elDoc identifies clause-level changes with explanations.

“Has our liability increased in the latest version?”
elDoc provides a direct answer with references.

Result

Teams instantly see what really changed, without reviewing entire documents line by line.

5. Financial & Commercial Term Analysis

elDoc analyzes commercial terms across contracts to identify inconsistencies and exposure.

What elDoc analyzes:

• Pricing structures and payment schedules
• Late payment penalties
• Currency and tax treatment
• Discounts, rebates, and service credits

Real-world examples:

“List all penalties and fees in this contract.”
elDoc produces a structured list with clause references.

“Are payment terms aligned with our procurement policy?”
elDoc flags deviations and explains them.

Result

Procurement teams gain financial clarity and consistency across vendors.

6. Cross-Document & Portfolio Analysis

elDoc doesn’t stop at one contract — it scales across thousands of documents.

What elDoc enables:

• Detecting inconsistent clauses across vendors
• Identifying systemic risks in contract portfolios
• Comparing obligations across agreements

Real-world examples:

“Show all supplier contracts with unlimited liability.”
elDoc instantly identifies and lists them.

“Which contracts expose us to tax risks?”
elDoc surfaces affected documents and clauses.

Result

Organizations move from reactive review to proactive risk management.

Industry-Agnostic by Design: One GenAI Platform, Many Use Cases

One of the most important strengths of elDoc is that it is truly industry-agnostic. Modern GenAI with RAG is no longer limited to legal text alone – it can understand, analyze, and reason across any document-heavy function. elDoc brings this intelligence into a single, unified platform that adapts to how you work, regardless of department or industry.

Today, organizations don’t operate in silos. Legal, finance, procurement, compliance, logistics, and operations all rely on documents often reviewing the same contracts, invoices, policies, or delivery terms from different perspectives. elDoc allows each team to use the same documents, but ask different questions, safely and consistently.

Examples Across Teams

Legal teams ask:
“Which clauses expose us to unlimited liability?”
“What changed in the termination terms between versions?”

Procurement teams ask:
“Are pricing and penalty terms aligned with our procurement policy?”
“Which supplier contracts include auto-renewals?”

Finance teams ask:
“What tax obligations are defined in this contract?”
“Which agreements affect revenue recognition?”

Logistics and operations teams ask:
“What delivery SLAs and penalties apply?”
“Which contracts include force majeure clauses affecting timelines?”

All of these insights are generated by the same GenAI engine, grounded in your documents through RAG, ensuring accuracy, consistency, and traceability.

Cloud or On-Premise — You Choose

How you deploy GenAI matters just as much as what it does. elDoc is designed to support both cloud and on-premise deployments, giving organizations the freedom to choose the model that best aligns with their security, compliance, and operational requirements. Instead of forcing a single deployment approach, elDoc adapts to your environment, your policies, and your risk tolerance.

With cloud deployment, elDoc can be up and running quickly, providing immediate access to GenAI-powered document review without lengthy setup. It scales effortlessly across teams, departments, and geographic regions, making it ideal for organizations that value speed, flexibility, and rapid collaboration. Enterprise-grade security and governance are built in, ensuring that sensitive documents remain protected while teams benefit from fast adoption and centralized management.

With on-premise deployment, elDoc is installed fully within your own infrastructure, operating as a completely private and self-contained system. All documents, metadata, and AI processing remain local, ensuring full data sovereignty and control. This model is especially well suited for regulated industries such as legal, finance, and the public sector, where strict compliance, confidentiality, and internal governance are essential. No data leaves your environment, and there is no exposure to external systems.

Regardless of deployment choice, elDoc delivers the same GenAI capabilities, the same level of security, and the same control over access and permissions. The difference is not in what elDoc can do, but in where and how you choose to run it.
