Cryptomathic adopts Luminance to broaden access to contract intelligence. * September 24, 2026 Danish IT security company Cryptomathic has deployed Luminance's Contract Intelligence Platform, aiming to make contractual information more directly accessible across the business and reduce the volume of routine queries handled by its legal, risk & compliance team. Cryptomathic, which serves major financial institutions, manages a large volume of contracts containing technical, commercial and service-level terms. Key information is often spread across master agreements, annexes, schedules and amendments that evolve independently over the course of a customer relationship. Before adopting Luminance, questions relating to renewal dates, invoicing terms, liability positions and customer obligations were typically directed to legal. The company says the platform now enables teams including sales, finance, sales operations and IT to access approved contract information directly, with legal support reserved for more complex issues. According to Cryptomathic, the platform has enabled business users to query its contract repository in natural language and receive evidence-backed responses. The company says it has improved visibility into renewal dates, purchase order terms, invoicing requirements and contractual obligations, while helping to reduce routine legal enquiries. Different teams use the repository for different purposes. IT checks response times and obligations linked to updates and releases; Finance tracks invoicing terms and licence types; Sales Operations monitors renewal dates and purchase order terms; and Legal analyses issues such as liability and indemnification. "Before Luminance, Legal was the single point of contact for anything contract related," said Peter Istrup, general counsel and vice president at Cryptomathic. "Now, business teams can find the answers themselves, and the questions do not have to go through Legal. That has completely changed how my team spends its time."

"As Telco Magazine continue to grow, AI represents a natural next step in helping Telco Magazine deliver even greater value to the business while maintaining an efficient operating model. "Luminance stood out as a mature, enterprise-ready platform that fits naturally into the way its teams work. "The Luminance team has also been outstanding throughout the process, constantly sharing expertise and ensuring we achieve maximum value from the platform." Driving procurement efficiency. Through the deployment of this platform, the company will secure greater visibility of commitments, renewals and obligations while reducing administrative overheads. The software will also assist with future due diligence and the frontline review of incoming supplier agreements. "Community Fibre is a fantastic example of a highly successful business embracing AI to support operational scale and efficiency," says Eleanor Lightbody, CEO at Luminance. "Their focus on creating a centralised source of contractual intelligence while empowering teams to move faster aligns perfectly with our mission to help organisations transform contracts from an administrative burden into strategic business assets." Luminance was created through the work of AI experts from the University of Cambridge and markets its AI agents as being 'Legal-Grade'. It states that its multi-agent platform can automate entire workflows, understand clauses and evaluate legal and commercial impact. It also learns over time, becoming increasingly adapted to each client business's context and requirements. Expanding network footprints. Community Fibre states that it has passed 1.4 million homes around the capital, with more than 185,000 London-based businesses located within 200 metres of its network footprint. Under its own brand, the company also operates in parts of Surrey and Sussex, where it previously operated as Box Broadband before May 2024. The operator offers speeds of up to 5Gbps for consumers and packages of up to 10Gbps for businesses. Community Fibre came top in Opensignal's December 2025 Fixed Broadband Experience in London for Download and Upload Speeds, Consistent Quality, Reliability Experience and jointly led in Video Experience.

Bulla Dairy Foods selects AI platform for its contracting operations. Friday, 17 July, 2026 London-based business Luminance announced that Australian dairy company Bulla Dairy Foods has adopted its Legal-Grade AI platform to enhance contract negotiation, improve visibility across agreements and drive efficiency across its legal and procurement functions. Bulla Dairy Foods was seeking a solution to manage large volumes of routine agreements while reducing the time spent drafting and negotiating contracts. With a growing need for streamlined reporting and obligation management, the business required a more scalable and intelligent approach to contracting. "Luminance stood out for its ability to understand our contracts and support high-quality negotiations at speed," said Omid Komeili, Senior Legal Counsel, Bulla Dairy Foods. "It gives Foodprocessing far greater visibility across its agreements while helping its teams work more efficiently day-to-day. "Almost immediately, Foodprocessing saw the impact. Within a week of implementation, a complex ICT Services Agreement hit my desk. Similar contracts have taken me a day and a half for review - with Luminance, I was able to complete my review in two hours. "That efficiency extended enterprise-wide, with clear value at the Executive level. When our Chief Legal & Compliance Officer requested an urgent, targeted report across 20-25 contracts, in a digestible and structured format, I was able to turn it around in minutes. The response said it all: 'Luminance to the rescue!'" Luminance was selected for its deep contextual understanding of negotiating positions, its ability to deliver high-quality redlining during negotiations, and its intuitive retrieval of key clauses and precedent from executed agreements. This enables teams across the business to move faster while maintaining consistency and control. The platform is being deployed across key use cases including the negotiation of NDAs, Ingredient Purchase Agreements and Packaging Purchase Agreements. The AI platform is designed to help the dairy company reduce manual processes, improve visibility into contractual risk and obligations, and empower both legal and procurement teams to operate more efficiently without increasing headcount. "Bulla Dairy Foods is a fantastic example of a business looking to scale its operations without compromising on quality or control," said Eleanor Lightbody, CEO of Luminance. "We're delighted to support their teams with AI that not only accelerates contracting, but also provides meaningful insight into their agreements and business performance."
