Introduction of the Company
One of India’s premier cybersecurity firms, headquartered in Pune, is a trusted name in digital
security solutions, serving clients across industries with advanced protection against online threats.
As a fast-growing company in the tech sector, they manage a substantial volume of contracts and
authorization letters to support operational and compliance needs.
With a limited legal team responsible for managing these essential documents, manual processes
became a bottleneck, affecting efficiency and drawing resources away from strategic legal tasks. To
address these challenges, the company sought an automated solution that could streamline their
authorization and contract workflows.
Connection Between the Company and Legalbook
Our partnership with this cybersecurity leader began with targeted outreach to better understand
their legal and contract management challenges. Through virtual demos and discussions, we
identified critical issues in managing their authorization letter workflow and contract review process.
This led to a series of collaborative meetings, where we tailored our solution to address their specific
needs, ensuring it aligned seamlessly with their operations.
Challenges Before Legalbook
- Small Legal Team and Physical RepositoryThe company’s small legal team was
responsible for handling a high volume of contracts and authorization letters across departments. The manual nature of these processes, coupled with limited resources, hindered their ability to efficiently manage routine tasks. This led to delays and affected the team’s capacity to engage in more strategic legal activities. - Authorization Letter Workflow for Tender SubmissionsA major operational hurdle was
the authorization letter approval process. Business users needed legal sign-off on every draft of authorization letters before submitting tenders, creating a dependency on the legal team that slowed down tender submissions. This not only delayed operations but also stretched the legal team thin, as they were heavily involved in repetitive approvals rather than focusing on high-priority work.
Why They Chose Legalbook
The company recognized the need for an automated, reliable system to streamline its workflows and
reduce the load on its legal team. Legalbook’s ability to customize workflows and automate routine
processes, such as authorization letter approvals and contract reviews, made it the ideal solution. By
choosing Legalbook, they ensured that business users gained independence in managing tender-
related documents while freeing up their legal team for more impactful tasks.
