Overall Satisfaction with Conga Composer

RealtyCom partners supports our clients by negotiating and managing all of their telecom contracts. We do this through the use of data management, and CRM systems to make sure that we always have our finger on the pulse of what is happening with our clients. As part of our process we negotiate contract terms with various telecom companies and need to present those different options to our clients in a concise and visual way. For years we have been doing a manual process to incorporate data from our CRM, requests for proposals and additional other data points then pull that into templates that we use to present to our clients. That process has historically created lots of opportunity for user error as well as long approval processes to comb through all of that manually entered information. Not to mention template management when something needs to change or be updated. We've been looking for a solution to be able to automate that process and remove some of that user error while also trying to speed up that process. We discovered Conga Composure as a way to improve that process

Pros

  • It is able to incorporate all of the Microsoft products that we use to build & showcase proposals
  • Once a solution is built it's easy to update templates
  • The processing time is quick and allows us to move through proposals at a pace we haven't had

Cons

  • Creating the solution can be a confusing process and getting that set up required us to hire outside help to do so. As we look at continued uses for composer having that issues causes us to need to be strategic as it impacts the budget we have for such thins
  • Time saved
  • Ease with Data validation
  • Trust that the final product is correct which helps with our approval process timeline
Once the solution is create the process is easy, simple and seamless.
The template we intended to use for Conga Composure used to take anywhere from 30 minutes - 2 hrs depending on the complexity of the proposal we were creating. We have cut that time down to 10 - 30 minutes.

Did implementation of Conga Composer go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Conga Composer again?

Yes

Our proposal templates use Microsoft Excel, which Conga Composer is able to communicate with quite well. These documents have complex formulas so are not able to be created in a mircosoft program that doesn't support that. There are several limitations we've had to overcome, include how data gets pulled in and is read which caused us to have to use creative ways to implement those data pieces and still requires some manual template editing once the document has been created.
