Pros
Concord

  • Concord has its internal e-signature tool.
  • Concord can group by template, active, in progress, etc. and color codes the same.

  • Proposal process. PI makes it easy to create and send proposals to new and existing clients, collect their payment info, and get signature on the engagement letter.
  • Easily identify engagements that will be expiring, so we can begin to assemble a renewal.
  • Communication to and from the client during the proposal process, which keeps everything associated with the proposal together in one place.

Cons
Concord
  • Make it easier to find the templates from any page
  • Improve the search function--it's sometimes difficult to find specific documents when searching
  • Change back to "limited editor" and "no editing rights" when sharing documents; the new term of "viewer" makes it seem like nothing can be edited at all

  • I would love to see it really support other industries better, like Marketing. There are workarounds for invoicing and set up, but it could be easier.
  • I would love the option to be able to send the client a single proposal with different options and allow them to select which one they want to move forward with. Right now we have to send a proposal for each option.
  • I would love for there to be user permissions where certain users can log in to see the proposals they are associated with without seeing everything.

Concord is extremely user friendly and saves me so much time! How else would I be able to manage all of the contracts for 9 different agencies all by myself?!?

Support Rating
Concord
I gave it a five because it was the closest to a neutral response. I have not had issues with Concord and have not had a reason to contact support, so I don't have an accurate opinion here. From my conversations with our legal team, it seems they have been able to work with the support team at Concord to get any potential issues resolved in a timely manner.

I would rather not compare apples and apples nor apples and oranges, and just share Concord has been an excellent Contract Management System for current organization.

You aren't able to customize the design of the proposal, but it surpases everything we have ever tried. It's easy to use and quick to learn.

Return on Investment
Concord
  • Since our implementation, I am saving a few hours a month in managing our IC contracts.
  • When people have questions about contracts, now it's clear "Hey, look in Concord" versus "Hey, does John or Sally have this contract?".

  • We have reduced our A/R by 60% and expect to completely eliminate A/R by the end of this year.
