Onit to Speak on Enterprise Legal Management (ELM) at 2016 Corporate Legal Operations Consortium (CLOC) Annual Corporate Legal Operations Institute

WHAT: CLOC Annual Corporate Legal Operations Institute
WHEN: Tuesday, May 3, 2016
10:30 a.m. – 11:30 a.m.
Room: California West
WHERE: The Westin St. Francis San Francisco on Union Square
335 Powell St, San Francisco, CA 94102
SESSION: ELM Redefined: Beyond Traditional Legal and Spend Management – Law Department Operations for the 21st Century
SESSION DESCRIPTION:

Evolving legal departments like Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) are thinking beyond traditional Enterprise Legal Management Solutions (ELM) solutions that focus only on legal and spend management to influence how they can drive change enterprise-wide with operational efficiency, reduced costs and, most importantly, process improvement. Corporate law departments need to be involved in business processes and continuously “optimize” those processes to improve the performance of the business as a whole.

David Cambria, Global Director of Operations – Law, Compliance and Government Relations, ADM will discuss how his legal department has been able to provide “continuous” value to the company. Topics of discussion will include:

  • Why systems of record are not enough to drive operational improvements at ADM
  • Why e-billing and matter management technology only represent a “fraction” of the legal department’s needs
  • Why process, workflow, and collaboration are critical for the success of his legal department
  • How a business automation tool solves all process needs beyond e-billing and legal spend management
  • Key benchmarks and metrics that drive innovation and transformation in legal operations and performance management
SPEAKERS:
  • David Cambria, Global Director of Operations – Law, Compliance and Government Relations, Archer Daniels Midland (ADM)
  • Eric M. Elfman, CEO & Founder, Onit
ABOUT:

This Institute is about deep dives in critical areas of legal operations that we face daily. It’s about facilitating the conversation on how we change the corporate legal operations industry. It’s about creating best practices, avoiding reinventing the wheel, and creating a paradigm shift in what we do and how we do it.

The Institute will feature more than 50 sessions of foundational, intermediate, and advanced topics over three days. Sessions will include experts across an array of disciplines.

Unlike the usual panel based conferences typical of the industry, this event will identify practical approaches to addressing everyday issues and give you the chance to meet and talk to the people and providers that are leading the charge to running legal departments like a business.

Onit Named Market Leader in Enterprise Legal Management by Hyperion

Houston – December 22, 2015 — Onit, Inc., the leading provider of Enterprise Legal Management (ELM) solutions, today announced that it was recognized by Hyperion as a market leader in process management and highly innovative for architecture and its “appification” approach.

“This report significantly raises the profile of our company as a market leader in ELM solutions,” commented Eric M. Elfman, Onit CEO and founder, Onit. “Our domain expertise from the last two decades and our innovative approach to solving the needs of global legal departments speaks to our passion for advancing and evolving the legal industry. We fundamentally believe that ELM is more than just Matter and Legal Spend Management and our solution is the only platform that lets you solve the “whole” of your legal department’s needs, whether that is for contract management, NDA creation and distribution, Legal Holds, SEC filings, eDiscovery or IP issues. Our ‘process’ approach is unlike any other ELM solution in the market today.”

The Hyperion MarketView™ Report: Enterprise Legal Management: E-Billing and Matter Management Systems also recognized Onit in areas critical to improving legal department operation in the following areas:

  • Market Leader in Process Management – Onit’s App Builder platform allows users to focus on workflow management and process automation, rather than on data entry as with legacy systems – the Matter & Spend Management Solution itself offers the kind of strong functionality one would expect from a leading system.
  • Highly Innovative in the “Appification” Approach – Call it the a la carte take on matter management: Onit allows for the routing of discrete tasks to discrete stakeholders and empowers users to access what they need when they need it. The architecture and underlying technology is decidedly modern and heavily geared toward the Web, enabling the fast-paced “appification” environment.
  • “With its emphasis on “process management” as a means of introducing content scalability to legal operations, Onit can be seen as a disruptive player among ELM solution providers – possibly a paradigm shift brought about by the same team that shifted the market a generation ago.

The Hyperion MarketView™ Report is a comprehensive review of the e-billing and matter management market from the perspective of Enterprise Legal Management. Particularly oriented towards the solution needs of mid- to large-sized legal departments (i.e., Global 1000 organizations), the focus of the report is integrated solutions that include advanced capabilities in spend management, collaboration, workflow and advanced analytics.
