Ilyas is now Northmap. Same team, same product, new name. Why the new name

Northmap

For CIOs and IT leaders

Faster software decisions you can defend.

Business teams ask for new tools faster than committees can review them. Northmap shortens the groundwork, checks what you already own and records each decision with its rationale and sign-offs. Your people still decide.

Why software decisions cost more than they should

The cost is rarely the licence. It is the duplicate, the delay and the decision nobody can explain later.

You pay twice for the same capability
Without a quick way to check the landscape, teams buy a tool that overlaps an application you already run. The overlap shows up at renewal.
Slow governance pushes teams around it
When the official route takes weeks, business teams go straight to a vendor. Shadow IT grows because the process is slow, not because the rules are unclear.
Decisions are hard to defend later
An auditor, a new executive or a vendor asks why a choice was made. The answer is in old slides and in the memory of people who have moved on.

What changes with Northmap

A quicker official route, and a record you can show.

  • Reuse is an option from day one

    Applications you already run are scored next to market products against the same requirements, when the demand arrives rather than after the contract.

  • A quicker official route

    Northmap drafts the requirements, finds the options and prepares the review. Your teams spend their time on the decision, so going through governance stops being the slow path.

  • Every decision on record

    Each decision keeps its outcome, its rationale, the options ruled out and the sign-off of each domain, with any condition attached.

  • Controls your security team expects

    Hosted in the EU by a French company, encrypted in transit and at rest, with single sign-on through Google or Microsoft Entra ID. Your data never trains AI models.

Decision

Hybrid

Reuse ContractHub and add an e-signature module

ContractHub meets 3 of 4 must-haves and already uses Entra ID. Adding e-signature costs less than a new CLM contract and avoids a data migration.

Options ruled out

  • BuyCLM suite A · Highest fit, but a new contract and a migration
  • BuyCLM suite B · EU hosting only partially confirmed

Sign-offs

  • ArchitectureApproved
  • SecurityApproved
  • FinanceConditionalConfirm module price before the order

Questions you can answer at the next committee

The answers are already in Northmap, attached to each demand.

Why did we extend ContractHub instead of buying a CLM suite?
The decision log keeps the rationale, the options ruled out and the sign-offs.
Do we already own something that does this?
Internal candidates are searched and scored as soon as the demand is created.
Which demands are waiting, and at which stage?
The demand list shows the status, owner and decision of every request.
Who approved this, and on what condition?
Each review domain keeps its signatures and the conditions reviewers wrote.
