PRESS RELEASE

DENVER & PARIS – June 8, 2017 — Conga, a leading provider of sales and business productivity solutions, today announced a spike in 2017 customer growth. In the first quarter of this year, bookings nearly doubled versus the same quarter in 2016, driven in part by the launch and strong adoption of its next-generation contract management solution, Conga Contracts.

The Conga Contracts product suite, built on the Salesforce Platform, helps organizations accelerate the contract creation, negotiation, management, completion and analysis among customers, sales and legal teams. Leveraging Salesforce Lightning and Salesforce’s standard objects, designed to deploy quickly, and priced to match current buyer trends, Conga Contracts has received a market response even greater than anticipated.

Conga also revealed that it has received an investment from Salesforce Ventures. The funding will help accelerate the company’s product development strategy and support the continued evolution of its product suite, which includes Conga ActionGrid, Conga Composer, Conga Contracts and Conga Novatus Enterprise CLM.

With a ten-year track record in the Salesforce ecosystem and as one of the early ISV partners developing solutions for the Salesforce AppExchange, Conga offers a software suite that addresses the needs of the entire customer lifecycle in Salesforce. Conga automates Salesforce tasks centered around data management, document generation, contract management and reporting. Streamlining and digitizing the sales contract management experience for Salesforce customers is a core focus of Conga.

“Salesforce Ventures is committed to investing in technology that extends our intelligent Customer Success Platform and makes our customers even more successful,” said John Somorjai, EVP of Corporate Development and Salesforce Ventures. “Built on the Salesforce Platform, Conga’s contract management technology complements Salesforce CPQ to enhance the contract negotiation experience.”

In addition to the launch of Conga Contracts, Conga also recently announced major enhancements to its document generation, data management and enterprise contract management products. In May 2017, the company was awarded a Silver Stevie® Award for “Most Innovative Tech Company of the Year” for organizations with up to 2,500 employees.

“Conga saw a perfect opportunity to significantly extend customer value with the development of Conga Contracts,” said Conga CEO Matthew Schiltz. “We are excited to use this investment to continue our product development strategy and continue the adoption of Conga Contracts.”

Following the success of the 2017 Conga Connect User Conference, the company’s first annual summit of its user community, Conga has announced plans for two additional Conga Connect events, to be held September 20 in London and October 3-4 in Las Vegas.
