DORA AND OPERATIONAL RESILIENCE
DORA: every in-scope entity must maintain and annually submit to its regulator a complete register of all ICT third-party contracts.
That register needs to reflect the current, consolidated terms, not what was signed ten years ago before seven rounds of amendments.
Consolidocs was built for exactly this.
A bank with EU-regulated operations subject to DORA, may be holding a single master agreement with one ICT supplier that has accumulated 30, 50, or 300 amendments
Each one was drafted as if it stood alone. Insertions are not always marked. Clause numbering jumps. Amendment 6 references Amendment 2, but Amendment 2 is not in the file.
To answer a single compliance question, does this contract contain the Article 30 notification clause? Someone has to open the master agreement, work through every amendment in sequence, establish which version is current, and find the relevant clause. That is not a five-minute job and on a contract with 50 amendments, some of them scanned from paper, drafted by different lawyers across two decades, it is a project - and the answer still might not be reliable.
Your Register of Information cannot be accurate if the underlying contracts have never been fully reconciled.
Somewhere in your ICT estate, a commercial term has lapsed and nobody has noticed. The payments are continuing.
Your compliance programme is built on a picture of your contracts that nobody has verified.
For a bank with £500 million in annual supplier spend, that represents a £43 million leakage risk, and that is before any regulatory penalty which might apply.

How we go from contract chaos to a compliant, consolidated estate
1
Give us everything
Upload the estate in any format, any age. Scanned PDFs, Word documents, DocuSign exports, legacy paper. No pre-processing required.
2
Sort and group
The platform reads every document and groups each contract with its complete amendment history. No naming convention needed. It reads the language, not the file names.
3
See what is there and what is not
Missing amendments are identified by reading clause cross-references inside the documents themselves. Unsigned documents, misfiled agreements, and sequencing gaps are all surfaced. This is the first complete picture of what exists and what is absent.
4
Surface the gaps
Every Article 30 gap is flagged across the portfolio and prioritised for remediation. You see exactly what needs attention and in what order. Consolidocs does not fix anything. It makes the invisible visible.
5
Know what your contracts say today
Every amendment is consolidated into its originating agreement. One accurate, current version of every ICT contract. Every clause traceable to its source document.
6
Instant access, whenever it is needed
Key terms and obligations in plain language, configured by role. Any team member can answer what a contract currently says in seconds rather than days.

Your Register of Information is incomplete because the underlying contract data has never been verified.
Your Register of Information is built from consolidated, clause-level contract data, not from spreadsheets and best guesses.
Article 30 gaps are buried in documents that nobody has read end to end.
Every Article 30 gap is surfaced across the portfolio and prioritised. You know exactly what needs fixing.
A lapsed fee cap, an expired rate protection, a missed auto-renewal. Nobody knows what is quietly going wrong.
Commercial anomalies are surfaced the moment we read the estate.
Law firms are reviewing contracts one by one. It is slow, expensive, and produces a static output.
The platform reads the estate once. The output is live and searchable, not a document that is out of date the moment it is filed.
In practice: a proof of concept with a large global bank
A data licensing portfolio spanning several years. A layered amendment chain that had never been fully reconciled. The bank had tried to do this internally and failed. An external attempt in 2018 had also failed at the first step: the OCR could not reliably read the legacy documents.
Consolidocs ingested the full estate, including old scanned PDFs with broken table formatting, and produced accurate, structured contract data. It identified missing amendments not by checking file names but by reading clause cross-references inside the documents themselves. It surfaced a fee cap that had expired years earlier with no subsequent amendment extending it. It flagged unsigned documents and sequencing gaps that years of manual review had not caught. The output was verified by the bank's own in-house expert against their detailed knowledge of the contract set.
"We tried building this ourselves and failed. We tried another vendor and failed. You are the only one who has actually done it."

Frequently Asked Questions
-
No. Your CLM manages the contracts it generates on its own platform. Consolidocs reads everything else: legacy agreements, scanned documents, amendments drafted by different legal teams across 20 years of supplier relationships. We sit above your CLM and give you a view of your whole estate, not just what one system produced. If you have a CLM, we work alongside it.
-
Banks have tried, repeatedly. The problem is not effort or capability. It is scale and accuracy. A contract with 50 amendments, some originating as scanned paper, drafted by different lawyers with no consistent structure, defeats manual review. OCR tools fail on legacy documents. Generalist AI hallucinates clauses, misses hierarchy, and cannot reliably tell which version supersedes which. We know this because we have seen every failed approach.
-
A proof of concept on a real contract set can be delivered in weeks, not months. Once your estate is on the platform, every subsequent question is answered in seconds.
-
Your documents remain in your environment. Every client has their own secure data store. We do not retain your originals once the data has been extracted. Confidentiality is not an afterthought: it is a structural requirement of how the platform is built.
