SAN MATEO, Calif., May 26, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Conga, the leader in digital transformation for commercial operations, announced a 141 percent ROI for its customer Extreme Networks, with payback in 9.6 months. The case study, published by Nucleus Research, found that Conga's Apttus CPQ solution reduced the time it took Extreme Networks to generate a quote from three days to 20 minutes while also reducing the time to provide a quote estimate from four hours to 10 minutes. Additionally, overall employee productivity increased by 15 percent with Apttus CPQ's automated quote generation and features capable of managing multi-tiered pricing channels.

"With the foundational capabilities implemented with Apttus CPQ, Extreme Networks is now able to make giant leaps forward in the handling of its service and subscription business, knowing the underlying system can support our future growth needs," said Rob Rosa, Senior Vice President of WW Service Sales at Extreme Networks.

Key benefits highlighted in the case study include:

• Reduced time-to-quote: Apttus CPQ decreased the time to generate a large quote from three to four hours to 20 minutes, resulting in increased customer satisfaction and profits as renewal rates continued to climb.
• Cost savings: Apttus CPQ enhancements related to auto co-terming and auto-generation helped Extreme Networks get quotes pre-generated for approval and submission, relieving the need for multiple offshore SFDC administrators and employees.

"Extreme Networks' deployment of Apttus CPQ highlights the necessity of exploring alternative solutions even when facing the intimidating costs associated with switching, implementing, and training for a new system," said Nick Grizzell, analyst at Nucleus and author of the report. "With Apttus CPQ, Extreme Networks' teams took the solution to production out of the box with powerful tools to aid in time savings and cost efficiencies."
