Case Study: Nimbus Therapeutics achieves two-hour contract turnaround and reliable, centralized contract management with Conga Contracts

Nimbus Therapeutics tamed its lawless, wild wild west contract management with Conga Contracts

Nimbus Therapeutics, a small biotech that conducts drug discovery digitally, struggled with an unreliable contract system that functioned as a data repository rather than a contract lifecycle management tool. During a major acquisition, contract and IP due diligence required a 30-person team working 16 hours a day, seven days a week for a month, and day-to-day contract requests were handled by email and in-person queues, creating redundant drafts and version confusion.

Contracts Administrator Carl Harkness implemented Conga Contracts, a familiar, easy-to-adopt CLM that captured metadata, centralized documents, and streamlined workflows. Implementation was simple with broad team buy-in, cutting review and processing time from exhausting double workdays to about two hours, eliminating lost drafts and version uncertainty, and removing the bottleneck at Harkness’ desk.
