Key Insights

90+ AiMe tools, 19 skills, and a new MCP Server

AI-powered redlining, search, and compliance monitoring come to Conga CLM

Time Series Forecasting moves pricing from looking back to predicting ahead

Deal-level pricing controls and Quote Comparison help protect CPQ margins

Every organization is looking for ways to move faster without increasing risk. But as commercial operations become more complex, critical processes like pricing, quoting, contracting, and document generation often remain disconnected across systems and teams. 

This release is about changing that. 

Across the Conga Advantage Platform, we're introducing new intelligence, deeper connectivity, and easier ways to work. From bringing Conga data into the AI assistants your teams already use, to helping legal teams reduce risk, pricing teams make better decisions, and sales teams protect margins, every innovation supports a common goal: creating a more connected Commerce Chain where information, decisions, and actions flow seamlessly across the business. 

AiMe and Model Context Protocol (MCP) 

Bringing Commercial Intelligence into the Flow of Work 

AI is becoming part of how modern businesses operate, but business leaders shouldn't have to learn another application to benefit from it. 

This release expands AiMe across the Conga Advantage Platform while introducing the new Conga MCP Server. Together, they give organizations two complementary capabilities: deeper intelligence inside Conga and the ability to bring Conga data into the AI assistants employees already use. 

Using Microsoft Copilot, Claude, and other MCP-compatible assistants, teams can access contracts, quotes, obligations, approvals, and other business information through natural language while continuing to work within their preferred AI experience. At the same time, AiMe continues to expand intelligent workflows across the Commerce Chain with more than 90 tools and 19 skills like Redline, Search, Compliance, Clause Library Builder, Time Series Forecasting, Quoting, Template Builder and more, that help users find information, automate tasks, and take action faster. 

The result is simple: organizations can access commercial intelligence wherever work happens, instead of forcing users to jump between systems.

Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) 

Making Contracting Faster, Smarter, and More Connected 

Contracting sits at the center of many commercial processes, making it one of the areas where AI can have the greatest impact. 

This release introduces significant new capabilities across Conga CLM, including AI-powered redlining, enhanced contract search, compliance monitoring, automated clause library creation, and the new MCP server and MCP tools. Legal and contracting teams can find information faster, identify risk earlier, and streamline negotiations without sacrificing governance or control. 

We’re also continuing to simplify contracting operations with streamlined workflows, easier setup experiences, enhanced amendment management, and new integrations that connect contracting more closely with procurement processes. New Supplier Portal capabilities extend contract visibility to suppliers, while SAP Ariba integration helps procurement and legal teams stay aligned throughout the sourcing and contracting lifecycle. 

Through our new partnership with GC AI, the legal artificial intelligence (AI) platform built by in-house lawyers for in-house lawyers, purpose-built legal AI now works directly inside Conga CLM. GC AI drafts, reviews, and analyzes legal documents, and Conga CLM carries that intelligence through the rest of the agreement lifecycle. Legal teams get a faster path from first draft to signed agreement, plus the foundation to manage what comes after. Learn more about Conga and GC AI.

Price Optimization and Management (POM) 

From Predicting Change to Acting on It 

Commercial leaders need more than visibility into what has already happened. They need confidence in what is likely to happen next. 

New innovations in Conga Price Optimization and Management help organizations move beyond historical reporting and toward predictive decision-making. Time Series Forecasting introduces the ability to project demand, costs, revenue, utilization, and capacity using an organization’s own historical business data, helping teams identify trends and potential disruptions. 

This release also expands Price Book Management and strengthens connections between pricing, rebates, agreements, and document automation. By connecting these processes more closely, organizations can improve pricing governance, operationalize complex pricing strategies, and create a more consistent path from commercial planning to execution. 

For pricing and revenue leaders, this can provide greater visibility into their organization’s future business conditions and a stronger ability to act on those insights.

Document Automation 

Making Powerful Automation Easier to Use 

Document generation is one of the most common business processes, yet building and maintaining document automation solutions often requires significant effort and technical expertise. 

This release focuses on changing that. 

The new AiMe Template Generator uses AI to convert existing Word documents and business data into reusable templates, dramatically reducing the manual effort traditionally required to build document automation solutions. New Document Merge experiences, guided solution deployment capabilities, and event-driven API enhancements help organizations deploy solutions faster and scale them more easily. 

Together, these innovations lower the barrier to document automation while helping customers accelerate time to value.

Configure Price Quote (CPQ) 

Protecting Margins While Accelerating Revenue 

Growth remains important, but profitable growth matters more. 

This release introduces several CPQ enhancements designed to help sales, pricing, and revenue teams improve deal quality while keeping business moving. New deal-level pricing controls help organizations govern pricing beyond the individual line item, ensuring larger and more complex opportunities remain aligned with corporate pricing policies. 

It brings tighter integration between Smart CPQ, Rebate Management, and Agreements, creating a more connected commercial workflow. Sellers can see applicable incentives during quoting, understand how rebates affect deal economics, and create or link rebates directly within the quote-to-agreement process. 

The result is greater transparency into profitability before a deal is approved and less reliance on manual calculations, disconnected systems, and downstream reconciliation. By connecting pricing, incentives, and agreements into a single workflow, organizations can negotiate with greater confidence while protecting margins and improving commercial execution. 

Deal-level pricing guidance extends governance beyond individual products and into the economics of the entire agreement. Rather than evaluating discounts one line at a time, organizations can apply pricing policies across the full quote, helping ensure large and complex deals remain aligned with margin objectives and approval processes. New AI-assisted quoting experiences further simplify quote creation and help sales teams deliver more consistent outcomes. 

The release also introduces Quote Comparison, allowing sellers and buyers to evaluate multiple quote scenarios side by side and arrive at the right commercial outcome faster. Together, these enhancements help sales, revenue operations, pricing, and finance teams align around more consistent and profitable deal execution. 

These innovations bring pricing discipline, profitability, and quoting efficiency together in a single workflow, helping organizations improve both revenue performance and customer experience.

One Commerce Chain. One Connected Future. 

While these innovations span multiple products, they are connected by a common vision. 

We're helping organizations move beyond disconnected processes and isolated decisions toward a connected Commerce Chain where pricing, quoting, contracting, rebates, and document automation work together as a unified commercial system. Through intelligence, ease of use, and connectivity, this release gives organizations the tools to make better decisions, move faster, reduce risk, and deliver better experiences for both employees and customers. 

I'm looking forward to seeing how our customers put these innovations to work, finding new ways to simplify complexity, accelerate growth, and unlock more value across their Commerce Chain.
