Six services. One senior team.

The full contract lifecycle, broken into the engagements you can start from wherever you are today.

01 · Before you sign

CLM Readiness

Most CLM projects fail because the process underneath them was never ready. We fix that first.

Problem

Around 40% of CLM rollouts stall or fail, usually because the organization automated a process that was broken, undocumented, or contested before the software ever arrived.

Approach

We map how contracts actually move today, clean up templates and clause libraries, sort out ownership and approvals, and get your data into shape, so the platform you buy lands on solid ground.

What you get
Current-state process map
Template & clause library review
Data readiness assessment
Requirements you can take to vendors

02 · Choosing a platform

Vendor Selection

An independent recommendation you can defend to leadership, not a reseller pitch.

Problem

CLM vendors all demo well. Without a structured evaluation it is hard to tell which one fits your workflows, your stack, and your budget, and easy to buy the wrong thing.

Approach

We run the full evaluation: requirements, scripted demos, scoring, and reference checks across a half-dozen leading platforms. You get a clear recommendation with the reasoning behind it.

What you get
Weighted requirements matrix
Structured demo scripts
Scored vendor comparison
Final recommendation & rationale

03 · Build & launch

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

04 · Your contract data

Data Migration & Extraction

Your contracts and their metadata, moved into the new system and verified.

Problem

Legacy contracts live in shared drives, inboxes, and old systems with inconsistent or missing metadata. Migrating them badly poisons the new platform on day one.

Approach

We first test representative, difficult contracts against fields you approve. The measured results, source evidence, and exception map define how we extract, review, load, and validate the production migration.

What you get
Field definitions & acceptance rules
Cited, reviewer-approved data
CLM-ready import file
Measured results & exception map

05 · Your stack

Integrations

CLM connected to the tools your business already runs on.

Problem

Contracts touch sales, finance, HR, and procurement. When CLM is an island, data is re-keyed, renewals are missed, and no one trusts the numbers.

Approach

We connect CLM across Salesforce, SAP, DocuSign, Adobe Sign, Workday, ServiceNow and more, native connectors where they exist, middleware where they make sense, so contract data stays consistent everywhere.

What you get
Native connector setup
Custom middleware where needed
Synced contract & obligation data
Monitoring & error handling

06 · After go-live

Managed Services

We keep your platform healthy after launch, across three tiers, sized to you.

Problem

CLM is not set-and-forget. Workflows change, people leave, and platforms need upkeep. Without support, a good implementation quietly degrades.

Approach

We stay on after go-live with Initiate, Expand, and Elevate tiers, covering admin, enhancements, user support, and roadmap, so it keeps working without a new full-time hire. We never go dark.

What you get
Initiate · Expand · Elevate tiers
Ongoing admin & enhancements
User support & training
Roadmap & health reviews

QUESTIONS

Answers to the common ones.

CLM readiness is the prep work that gets your contract templates and clause libraries in order before a CLM implementation begins. Think of it as cleaning and organizing your inputs so the build has something solid to work from. In practice that means auditing and standardizing your templates, organizing and de-risking your clause libraries, and surfacing the inconsistencies that quietly slow rollouts down. The payoff shows up in three places: a faster implementation timeline, ROI that lands sooner, and less risk tied to outdated or inconsistent contract language. Clean inputs are the single biggest lever on how fast the whole implementation goes. Readiness work pairs naturally with the implementation itself. It is the step that makes everything after it move faster.

In most cases, yes, because readiness is what makes an implementation fast rather than a separate project you can skip. Even when a build is already underway, clean templates and well-organized clause libraries up front are a big part of how Koho keeps implementations on track instead of stalling. Without that prep, teams discover messy or inconsistent contract language mid-build, which forces rework and pushes the timeline out. Readiness front-loads those decisions so the configuration work has clean inputs to build on. It also lowers the risk hiding in outdated clauses before that risk gets baked into your live system. If you are mid-implementation and things feel slower than expected, a short readiness pass can often get the project back on schedule. The earlier you catch a thin template or a stale clause, the less rework it forces once the build is underway.

Readiness reduces the risk that hides in inconsistent templates and outdated clause language. When every team drafts from slightly different versions of a contract, obligations get missed, terms drift, and renewals or expirations slip by unnoticed. Standardizing your templates and cleaning up your clause libraries before the build means the system you launch enforces the right language by default, instead of carrying old problems into a new tool. The result is more consistency, less manual checking, and a clearer pulse on obligations, terms, renewals, and expirations once you go live. Reducing this risk early is far cheaper than untangling it after it has been built into your CLM. Standardized inputs also make the live system easier to audit, because every contract starts from the same approved language.
