Case Study

Xeris Pharmaceuticals strengthens compliance and streamlines contract management with Onit

Challenge

As Xeris Pharmaceuticals prepared to go public and brought its first FDA-approved product to market, the company faced rising complexity in managing its contract portfolio. With contracts stored in shared drives and tracked manually, the team lacked visibility, control, and audit-readiness. Rapid employee growth and strict compliance requirements—such as those mandated by the Sunshine Act and Insider Trading regulations—further heightened the need for a more robust, centralized contract management solution.

Solution

Xeris turned to ContractWorks – a member of the Onit portfolio, a secure and intuitive contract management platform, to bring structure and visibility to its growing contract operations. With ContractWorks, Xeris was able to:

  • Centralize more than 6,000 contracts into a single, searchable repository.
  • Improve compliance by tracking policy acknowledgments and contract milestones with automated alerts and reporting.
  • Simplify internal approvals and e-signature workflows for both vendor contracts and internal policy documents.
  • Deliver real-time insights to department leaders with customized reporting.
