Case Study: University of Bristol accelerates research contract management with cBrain F2

University of Bristol accelerates research contract workflows with a secure, digital case management platform

The University of Bristol faced significant administrative challenges in managing high-stakes research contracts. Their Research and Enterprise Development team relied on legacy systems like Outlook and spreadsheets, which created friction in multi-party negotiations and failed to ensure data was traceable and secure for compliance. To address this, they worked with vendor cBrain.

cBrain implemented its F2 digital platform to create a centralized, configurable system for contract management. The solution digitized templates and integrated emails directly into case files, automating processes and providing full audit trails. This resulted in a 40% faster contract turnaround, a 60% reduction in communication errors, and ensured 100% of contracts are now digitally archived, significantly reducing risk and improving compliance for the university.
