Pramata Names Former Salesforce VP John Serdinsky as Its First Chief Customer Officer

Serdinsky will oversee the company’s onboarding and customer success programs with a focus on helping Pramata users gain deeper value from the contract management platform

Pramata, the leading end-to-end contract management solution provider, announced it has named John Serdinsky as its first Chief Customer Officer. Serdinsky will be part of Pramata’s leadership team and responsible for the company’s onboarding and customer success initiatives. He will be focused on developing and implementing programs that enable Pramata users to achieve fast value and go deeper into the platform’s contract management solution, ensuring they gain maximum value from their CLM investment.

The contract management industry has hit an inflection point. According to a recent Forrester Consulting study commissioned on behalf of Pramata, more than a third of the CLM technology decision makers surveyed said their current CLM solution provider failed to deliver adequate customer support. Nearly 40% claimed their solution took too long to deploy and another 34% said their solution took too much effort to maintain.

To address the industry’s biggest challenges, Pramata has taken a radically simple approach to contract management – offering a proven solution that empowers the entire business for less than the cost of a full-time employee. Unlike most overly-complicated CLM solutions, Pramata is designed to improve efficiency, enabling contract management professionals to stop being the “corporate librarian” and, instead, focus on driving real value and fast ROI, through adoption of the CLM platform across the organization.

The addition of a Chief Customer Officer to its C-suite will further advance Pramata’s goal of building a community of contract MVPs who are able to drive critical business outcomes – shifting the in-house counsel team from a support role to a primary driver of the business.

“Contract management professionals need tools that provide complete visibility into contract data so that they can protect revenue and accelerate contract creation and renewal responsibilities, as well as manage vendor costs and contract terms. They want uncomplicated solutions that are easy to get up and running without completely exhausting their technology budget,” said Praful Saklani, founder and CEO of Pramata. “As a former Pramata client, John knows the value of our solution better than anyone. He understands what contracting teams across legal, sales, and operations are up against and has firsthand experience leveraging Pramata’s solution to address the industry’s biggest challenges. When we decided to bring on a customer success leader, we knew it had to be John.”

Prior to joining Pramata, Serdinsky served as the regional VP of Customer Success at Salesforce where he managed the full customer journey efforts and led the team responsible for onboarding and customer success programs. With more than two decades worth of leadership experience, Serdinsky’s professional tenure includes sales, marketing, and product development roles at various organizations, including CenturyLink and Qwest.

“The contract management space is saturated with solutions that suffer from feature bloat with too many businesses paying way too much for CLM technology that is way too complicated. Pramata takes a completely different approach to contract management, delivering an easy-to-use and easy-to-budget solution that makes a serious impact on major business objectives,” said Serdinsky. “My firsthand experience as a Pramata customer is what drew me to the company. Its ability to quickly deliver value and scale without heavy lifting on the user-side is a game changer for our industry. As the Chief Customer Officer, I can’t wait to connect with Pramata customers and show them just how much they can do with our solution. It’s an amazing product that has been built by an amazing team.”

ChurnZero Launches Renewal and Forecast Hub for Customer Success teams

Customer Success leaders and their teams can now confidently track, forecast, and take ownership of their organization’s renewal, upsell and expansion revenue.

ChurnZero, the platform and partner for Customer Success, has launched Renewal and Forecast Hub, enabling Customer Success (CS) teams to confidently own and forecast account growth and recurring revenue. Fully contained within ChurnZero and integrated with leading CRMs, the tool provides revenue and forecast insights to help CS teams gain predictability, maximize growth opportunities, identify and mitigate revenue risks, and design effective, collaborative revenue strategies.

Increasingly, Customer Success teams own revenue or have a direct line to it: 50% of teams own renewals, 42% own expansion, and NRR (net revenue retention) is the top performance metric for CS teams. However, these teams are underequipped with purpose-built technology for their roles. With flexible configuration and automatic analytics, Renewal and Forecast Hub gives CS teams a central source of revenue insights and analysis, without the need to manually move and configure data from spreadsheets and CRMs. CS leaders can forecast, track and analyze projected revenue across their team’s entire book of business, while individual Customer Success managers can do the same for their own accounts.

With predictive analysis enhanced by customer health scores, and intuitive analysis of key revenue metrics, Renewal and Forecast Hub makes ChurnZero the complete solution for CS teams looking to own or influence revenue authoritatively.

“Customer Success teams who own or have a direct line to revenue have more impact and influence, superior retention rates, and greater resilience to cost-cutting measures driven by economic uncertainty,” says You Mon Tsang, CEO and co-founder, ChurnZero. “If CS teams are tasked with retention, then they also need the ability to manage and forecast revenue opportunities and threats accurately and efficiently. Renewal and Forecast Hub gives CS teams everything they need to either own recurring revenue for their organization, or partner effectively with the team that does.”

Available now, Renewal and Forecast Hub gives CS teams and leaders:

Purpose-built efficiency: CS teams can self-sufficiently access and analyze renewal, upsell, expansion, and revenue data, without manual data work or cross-departmental requests.
Accurate forecasting: incorporated customer health scores give CS teams predictability with a better understanding of each account’s likelihood to renew, expand or churn.
Proactive risk mitigation: CS teams can identify churn risks earlier, ensure on-time renewal decisions, and view the revenue of at-risk accounts against targeted goals.
Strategic fine-tuning: CS teams can analyze and slice data by users, teams, cohorts, and more to gain insights into trends and inform future strategies.
Intuitive reporting: CS teams and individuals can easily showcase NRR, GRR (gross revenue retention), churn rate and expansion revenue for check-ins, strategy adjustments, board presentations and more.

Toshiba Global Commerce Solutions is partnering with globally recognized distributor BlueStar to promote awareness, drive demand, and deliver innovative hardware solutions to new customers and potential partners. The partnership will expand Toshiba’s reach of its point-of-sale (POS) systems and self-checkout hardware products to BlueStar’s network across the United States and Canada.

“The strategic partnership with BlueStar provides unique benefits to both organizations. Leveraging Toshiba’s industry-leading retail technology, BlueStar’s network of resellers is empowered to connect retailers with the innovative solutions they need to stay ahead of the competition and connect with consumers,” said Bill Campbell, Senior Vice President Head of Global Sales at Toshiba Global Commerce Solutions. “We are also excited to collaborate with BlueStar and its seasoned management team to expand our strategic network by engaging with their independent software vendor ecosystem.”

The new partnership connecting @ToshibaCommerce #retailtechnology and @Think_BlueStar network of resellers will empower #retailers with the innovative #POS and hardware they need to stay ahead of the competition and connect with consumers.

With BlueStar’s Value-Add service and Channel’s Best Ecosystem, resellers now have a powerful, innovative solution bundle to help differentiate and grow their business.”

A recent study by Incisiv, and commissioned by Toshiba, reported that innovation is critical to the growth strategy of retailers. The study identified executing an inclusive store ecosystem as one of the six indicators of retail innovation. POS systems are part of those ecosystems and play a significant role in a retailer’s physical store strategy and influence the consumer experience. Toshiba’s array of POS offerings through BlueStar is curated to meet the unique needs of the retail, restaurant, and hospitality industries. Some of these solutions include the TCx® 300, TCx 810, and the TCx 810E point-of-sale designed for optimal performance and retail functionality.

The Pro-X Hybrid Kiosk will be a future item added to BlueStar inventory. Toshiba’s retail-hardened TCx Single Station and TCx Dual Station printers are also available to BlueStar customers.

Toshiba’s retail business works with some of the most successful retail brands worldwide. Retailers in over 120 countries rely on Toshiba’s retail solutions for more than 500 retail brands. According to the study “Global EPOS and Self-Checkout 2022,” from research and consulting firm RBR, Toshiba holds the #1 install market share in the retail Point-of-Sale space and is #2 for self-checkout position worldwide.

Krones Selects Icertis to Digitally Transform Contract Management

Icertis, the contract intelligence company that pushes the boundaries of what’s possible with contract lifecycle management (CLM), announced that Krones has selected Icertis Contract Intelligence (ICI) to digitally transform its contracting processes for sales and procurement operations across the enterprise. Icertis will streamline and unify contract management for the company’s headquarters in Neutraubling, enabling increased visibility and compliance with contractual obligations across both buy-side and sell-side contracts.

German packaging and bottling machine manufacturer Krones will integrate ICI with SAP Ariba and Salesforce to connect contract data to core systems and unlock enterprise-wide intelligence. The company will also utilize the Icertis DiscoverAI and AI Studio applications, which leverage artificial intelligence (AI) to bring static legacy agreements and third-party contracts to life to uncover hidden revenue, savings, and risks and ensure clauses meet standard terms.

“Every day, millions of glass bottles, cans, and PET containers run through Krones lines. We needed an AI-powered CLM solution to modernize our legacy processes, improve visibility, and process third-party contracts faster while reducing risk,” said Melanie Feldmeier, Systems Analyst, Customer Contract Management of Krones. “Icertis goes well beyond traditional CLM by offering intelligent clause identification and AI-powered insights to ensure compliance with all required terms and clauses, which significantly reduces liability for our business.”

Icertis helps companies like Krones reduce costs, improve compliance, and eliminate risk by structuring and connecting contract data across the enterprise and applying AI to ensure the intent of every business relationship is correctly captured and fully realized. With ICI, Krones can create a single source of truth by consolidating existing contracts into a single, enterprise-wide repository, enabling speed, compliance, and value at every step in their contracting process.

“Contract management is central to enterprise-wide digital transformation, given the role that contracts play across a myriad of critical business operations,” said Roman Howe, Vice President, Europe, Icertis. “The power of Icertis Contract Intelligence integrated with SAP Ariba and Salesforce will help Krones achieve greater visibility, efficiency, and insights while optimizing commercial relationships.”

Conga Launches First-of-Its-Kind Conga Revenue Lifecycle Cloud, Empowering Businesses with Unmatched Scalability, Intelligence and Revenue Predictability

Unified set of solutions forms the most complete end-to-end revenue lifecycle management offering to power increased efficiency and certainty across all business functions that drive revenue

Conga, the global leader in Revenue Lifecycle Management, announced the launch of Conga Revenue Lifecycle Cloud, a first-of-its-kind cloud platform that supports the complexities of revenue management, leading to improved efficiency and certainty for businesses to drive, configure, price, quote, contract, negotiate, manage, collect, and renew revenue. Upgrading its core technology from applications to a full, open cloud solution strengthens Conga’s position in the market and with its partners, and advances capabilities for customers to accelerate the transformation of their revenue lifecycles.

As companies today must increasingly cut costs, they are forced to reinvent by doing more with less. Revenue is the fuel behind companies’ ability to be successful, stay afloat, and avoid layoffs, but most organizations lack a holistic solution to predict, drive, and collect revenue. Conga’s first-of-its-kind Revenue Lifecycle Cloud addresses organizations’ unique complexities while delivering seamless customer interactions and greater certainty across every touchpoint to drive the revenue predictability companies seek. Until now, no single solution existed to address this broad set of challenges. From proposals and quoting, to getting deals signed, contract execution, invoicing, and obligation management, fulfilling and renewing, Conga Revenue Lifecycle Cloud now offers the solutions to not only keep businesses resilient but allow them to thrive.

Conga Revenue Lifecycle Cloud is the only solution capable of complex transactions with industry-leading performance and scale. Conga offers a single system-of-record offering a unified source of truth to drive intelligence throughout revenue processes for businesses, with a platform that is open, and designed to run on any cloud infrastructure provider. The cloud platform offers customers more choice to incorporate Conga wherever they want – whether through the Conga user experience (UX), commercial applications (e.g., Salesforce, ServiceNow, etc.), or even their own UX using Conga’s APIs.

The application of AI and machine learning to the Conga Revenue Lifecycle Cloud delivers an intelligent system to allow for more predictability. Conga removes manual processes with automation to improve efficiency, predictability, and accuracy for revenue activities. Conga’s automated, integrated, and intelligent platform offers insight into how revenue in one area affects revenue in another, such as:

Forecasting which customers are most likely to renew, churn, or be eligible for a cross sell or upsell, helping to maximize the amount of money a customer is expected to spend to improve the bottom line.
Predicting and uncovering risk before it is an issue for a business.
Providing the solutions to ensure pricing is accurate on all quotes, order forms, invoices etc. to ensure maximum revenue and payment to the business through integrated systems.
Enforcing both revenue and contract policies.
Streamlining revenue contracting and obligation risk/deliver management.

“Conga is the only vendor offering this type of advanced cloud solution, capable of supporting complex workflows and delivering the full revenue lifecycle at scale,” said Grant Peterson, Chief Product Officer at Conga. “With Conga Revenue Lifecycle Cloud, we’re putting the customer at the center of growth, through breaking the single channel mindset and creating a scalable sales engine. In doing so, we help customers focus on continuous transformation. We couldn’t be more excited about delivering on our promise of providing customers with the tools they need for a seamless buying experience across channels to achieve revenue operations success.”

Various departments across an organization can also benefit from Conga Revenue Lifecycle Cloud. For instance, HR teams that don’t use Salesforce can now use Conga to generate documents – like offer letters, benefit statements, and more – anywhere with data that comes from any system of record. Sales reps can also use Conga to accelerate deal cycles by automating sales activities – including proposals and quotes – at every step from request to renewal, increasing sales productivity and improving the user buying experience.

Customers also benefit from a more seamless end-to-end buying experience across channels, products, and industries with Conga Revenue Lifecycle Cloud through the following unique features:

Unified data model: Data can be used from any system of record, across applications and processes. This allows for better collaboration among cross-functional teams involved in the revenue lifecycle and eliminates silos in decision-making with a single source of truth.
Open platform: Conga’s API-first architecture enables companies to integrate directly into the enterprise apps, CRMs, and ERPs they’re already using for a seamless revenue operations lifecycle experience.
Best-in-class capabilities: Whether using one feature or a holistic unified set of capabilities, Conga offers material business value and provides simplicity in an otherwise complex revenue lifecycle.
Best-in-industry Scale/Performance: Removing limitation in complex pricing, large bundles, and complex revenue rules.

“Revenue is the fuel that powers companies. Conga realizes this opportunity and the need to help businesses reinvent how they connect with customers to drive effective revenue operations success,” said Noel Goggin, CEO and Culture Leader at Conga. “We are meeting our customers where they are and reimagining the end-to-end customer experience across the entire revenue lifecycle with these latest innovations. The introduction of Conga Revenue Lifecycle Cloud is further proof that Conga adopts a customer-first approach to create personalized customer journeys that attract, excite, and transform our customers’ businesses.”
