The cost of missing context

Test the moments that put trust at risk.

/ 01

The record is useful only if the team uses it

A carefully configured pipeline still needs to support the person answering today’s client call. Ask for a demonstration from that person’s point of view, including the assistant or colleague covering the relationship.
/ 02

A stage change is not the whole story

The opportunity may say “in progress” while the promised document is still waiting. Follow one conversation through the commitment, document and next action to see whether the workflow holds together.
/ 03

Implementation scope belongs in the decision

Compare data migration, integrations, ownership and the time your team must contribute. Standard Emerson setup has a defined scope; complex requirements receive their own plan before work begins.
Make the right choice

Choose around the work you cannot drop.

Choose DealCloud when its configurable deal infrastructure, data integrations and governance fit your firm. Evaluate Emerson when you want client context and day-to-day follow-through in a firm-wide subscription. Test the same real workflow in both.

Emerson runs on SOC 2 Type II certified infrastructure, and our own certification is underway: policies, access reviews and audit logging are being put in place now, with the external assessment next. If a completed report is a hard gate for you this quarter, ask on the call and we will tell you exactly where we are.

Questions

Before you switch.

Does DealCloud automatically capture emails and meetings?

Yes. Intapp describes automated activity capture and relationship intelligence. Emerson does not claim exclusive ownership of those capabilities. Compare what happens around the captured activity and how the team uses it.

Is Emerson a replacement for every DealCloud workflow?

No blanket replacement is promised. Bring the fields, reports, integrations and controls you depend on. We will distinguish a supported workflow from custom work or a requirement that should stay in a specialist system.

How long until it is running?

Standard setup takes two business days after we confirm the scope and receive the access and files we need. Larger migrations and custom work get an agreed schedule.

Can we get our data out?

Yes, whenever you ask, as a full export in a format you can actually open. Your data is yours. Emerson itself stays ours, so what you would take is the record, not the software.

Bring the last client handoff that was harder than it should have been.
