Finally, Trial Clarity. PostSig Adds Trial Agreement Management

Transforming trials from friction to advantage.

Trial agreements are meant to be simple: a short window to test a new service or dataset, then decide whether to move forward. In practice, they’re anything but. Each trial comes with a ticking clock, hidden obligations, and the constant question of who is actually responsible for making sure nothing slips through the cracks.

Ask yourself:

• How many trials is your organization running right now?
• Do you know when each one ends?
• Do you know who owns them?
• Can’t make a timely decision or need more time whilst you wait for a different feature set?
• And just as importantly, do you know what happens to the service or data once the trial concludes?

For most teams, the answers aren’t clear. Trials get tracked in scattered emails, ticket systems, forgotten spreadsheets, or buried calendar invites. Deadlines pass unnoticed. Vendors keep providing access. Costs start creeping in. Or worse, data that should have been destroyed continues circulating, creating unnecessary compliance risk. What should have been a low-risk way to explore a new opportunity suddenly becomes a source of operational risk.

That’s why we’ve added Trial Agreement Management as a dedicated contract type in PostSig. This capability is now live for all customers.

From today, your PostSig dashboard shows every active trial, how much time is left, and who the named owner is. No more ambiguity, no more silent expirations. Ownership is explicit, timelines are visible, and accountability is clear.

We’ve also built trial obligations directly into the workflow. If a contract requires data to be purged and/or or a certification of deletion delivered, those steps are tracked and surfaced at the right time. If a trial is approaching expiration, PostSig reminds you to request an extension or decide whether to convert. What used to be a scramble at the end of a trial period is now a structured process.

The impact is significant. Instead of worrying about overlooked deadlines, your team can focus on evaluating services and making clear, timely decisions. You avoid surprise spend, strengthen your compliance posture, and negotiate from a position of strength. Trials become what they were always supposed to be: a strategic way to test, validate, and negotiate with vendors.

In capital markets especially, the pace of new datasets and platforms is only accelerating. Firms that can manage trials efficiently are able to explore more options, faster, without losing control. With Trial Agreement Management in PostSig, that edge is now built in.
