CobbleStone Software is proud to announce that we have finished 2020 with record-breaking growth. From expanding our client base to bringing new innovations to the forefront of contract management software and more, here are some noteworthy CobbleStone Software achievements from 2020.
We Have Helped Organizations To Maintain Contract Management Success
CobbleStone far surpassed goals in 2020 - exponentially expanding our client base. This means that when organizations were most in need of a fully web-enabled solution to maintain contract management processes for remote work, we at CobbleStone delivered.
CobbleStone's award-winning contract management software platform - Contract Insight® - is available as a SaaS (Software as a Service) or on-premise (deployed) solution. Because of this, our client base has maintained access to the most robust, user-friendly, and low-friction contract management software tools whether they are in or out of the office. Furthermore, the events of 2020 left many leading organizations with the need to reassess the terms of their contracts. Searching tools in Contract Insight have streamlined the process of users finding force majeure clauses and other relevant clauses quickly.
With Contract Insight, you can easily uphold and vastly improve contract management, vendor management, eProcurement, and eSoucing processes - even in the face of various unforeseeable circumstances.
We Hosted Our 2021 Virtual User Conference
CobbleStone originally planned and prepared for hosting this year's user conference in Austin, Texas back in October. We do not need to explain why we had a change of plans.
However, here at CobbleStone, the theme of 2020 was adaptation. As such, we adapted. We hosted #CobbleStoneVirtualConference2021. CobbleStone Software's 2021 Virtual User Conference took place from January 20th - January 21st from 1 pm to 5 pm ET on each day.
The fully digital two-day event offered an exciting experience for contract management, procurement, sourcing, legal, and other professionals from a wide array of industries. CobbleStone's 2021 virtual user conference featured engaging keynote speakers, CobbleStone-exclusive product and feature updates, interactive breakout sessions, expert-led demonstrations, and much more.
This momentous event proved an invaluable occasion for Contract Insight users to learn from CobbleStone experts and gain the inspiration to execute future-minded contract lifecycle management software best practices. It offered an exciting learning experience for prospective CobbleStone users as well.
Registered participants have access to a stream of their registered virtual conference sessions up to 90 days post-event!
We Released New Contract Management Software Features & Innovations
Ever since we launched the first commercial, web-enabled contract tracking software system in the mid-1990s, we at CobbleStone have prided ourselves on continuous innovations to our leading-edge source-to-contract management software suite. This continued throughout 2020, as we brought our users a plethora of tools and functionality to streamline, strengthen, and centralize their contract lifecycle management processes.
The enhancements made to our trusted solution seem to be too numerous to exhaustively examine, so for now we will provide some highlights.
With the release of Contract Insight Enterprise Version 17.5.0 in 2020 came a host of contract intelligence innovations, simplified electronic signature options, an enhanced system dashboard experience, enriched Vendor Gateway functionality, contract writing improvements, and more to equip users with the right tools to succeed.
