Challenge

While Aramark’s legal department excelled at negotiating and managing contacts on an individual basis, it struggled with contract maintenance at the corporate level. These company-wide inefficiencies were costing Aramark time and money, and lead to additional challenges:

• Inability to draft contracts by region
• Ineffective contract management process
• Lawyers frequently pulled away from negotiations
• Expensive outside legal fees
• Frequent contracting errors

Solution

Aramark decided to purchase Conga solutions for many reasons, including unrivaled contract generation capability, a pre-approved clause library, the Conga  approval process, and more. Conga CLM standardized Aramark’s contract generation globally with a pre-approved clause library that established consistency across business units and countries. 

Business results

• Faster contract generation time
• Instant access to contracts via mobile devices
• Standardized contracts through templates and pre-approved clause library
