Key Features and Functions of Barhead include:

Microsoft-native integration
The solution is built on Microsoft Power Platform and deeply integrates with Microsoft 365 applications such as SharePoint, Microsoft Teams, Outlook, and Microsoft Dynamics 365 — enabling organizations to leverage existing Microsoft investments and familiar user workflows.

Contract Lifecycle & Matter Management
Provides comprehensive lifecycle management for contracts and matters — from intake, negotiation, approval, execution and ongoing obligations — with support for document management, matter tracking, and metadata association.

Business portals and self-service intake
Enables business users to submit legal or contracting requests through self-service portals, reducing the dependency on legal teams for routine requests and improving transparency for requestors.

Advanced search and unified data access
Offers a powerful search experience that can surface documents and data across Microsoft 365, regardless of where they are stored — facilitating faster retrieval of contracts, communications, and matter-related files.

Workflow automation & approvals
Supports configurable approval workflows, automated notifications and reminders, audit trails, and activity tracking to streamline review and execution processes.

Dashboards, reporting & analytics
Delivers out-of-the-box dashboarding and reporting capabilities, with optional extension via Power BI for custom business-intelligence views, compliance tracking, and insight into contract and matter portfolios.

Cloud-based and mobile-ready access
As a cloud-native application, the platform enables access from anywhere and supports actionable email-based workflows, facilitating mobile or distributed-team use without switching contexts or applications.
