Our CLM went live, but sales still emails Word files to legal for every renewal.

HOW WE WOULD START

Build the workflow people already follow.

We configure the renewal workflow, templates and roles around how requests really arrive, then train the people who send them.

Who reviews itContract managers and sales operations test it
Your team decides.

Run real renewals through the new workflow with the team before you turn email intake off.

CLM Implementation

We configure your platform around how you really work, then stay until your team is using it.

Problem

A platform that is installed is not a platform that is adopted. Many rollouts go live on paper but never change how the business actually handles contracts.

Approach

We configure workflows, templates, and roles to match your process, migrate your data, and run hands-on enablement, so the platform you bought actually gets used.

What you get
Configured workflows & templates
Role-based permissions
Hands-on user enablement
Go-live & adoption support

QUESTIONS

Answers to the common ones.

A first Agiloft launch can take as little as 45 days from kickoff to go-live. Beyond that, the timeline depends on two things: how broad your scope is, and how ready your templates and contract data are on day one. A focused first phase for one team moves faster than a multi-department rollout with heavy integrations. We keep things moving with a proven path from kickoff to go-live: we mobilize stakeholders, align your processes, design the build, and deploy with hands-on training. Clean inputs are the biggest lever on speed, which is why CLM Readiness work up front, getting your templates and clause libraries in order, shortens the whole project. You always know where the timeline stands against the plan, because budget transparency and steady communication are how we run every engagement, and we never go dark.

We work across CLM platforms including Agiloft and Conga, among others, and our guidance stays vendor-neutral. The right platform depends on your processes, your budget, and the systems you already run, not on which tool we happen to be selling. If you have not chosen yet, our Vendor Selection service helps you find the right fit first, then we carry that understanding straight into the build. Once a platform is in place, we connect it to the tools your business already uses, including Salesforce, SAP, DocuSign, Adobe Sign, Workday, and ServiceNow, using native connectors where they exist and middleware where they fit. That way your contract data moves cleanly between systems from day one. Whatever platform you land on, our focus is the same: get it configured to how you actually work, and get your teams to adopt it instead of working around it.

Go-live is a milestone, not a hand-off. A CLM system needs ongoing care as your contracts, templates, and team change, so the work does not stop when the system launches. Our Managed Services take that upkeep off your plate across three tiers, Initiate, Expand, and Elevate, so the level of support matches where you are. That covers configuration changes, new templates, and optimization as your contract volume grows. The goal is simple: keep the system healthy so your team can focus on higher-value work instead of maintenance. You stay in control the whole way, with clear communication and no surprises. Many teams pair Managed Services with the same operating principles we bring to every project, budget transparency and steady contact, so the system you launched keeps delivering value long after the first day it went live.

Yes. Roughly 40% of CLM implementations fail or stall, and rescuing them is something we do regularly. Most failed rollouts are not a software problem, they are an adoption problem: the system was configured for a process nobody actually follows, or the team was never trained to trust it. We start by diagnosing the root cause rather than restarting the project from scratch. From there we realign the build to how your teams really work, clean up the templates and data underneath it, and get people using the system with hands-on training. If the platform itself is wrong for you, we will say so plainly and help you weigh the options. The aim is to get you live and adopted, fast, without throwing away the investment you have already made. On an intro call we can talk through where your rollout is stuck.
