Onit and Randstad Sourceright Forge Contract Lifecycle Management and AI Partnership

HOUSTON, March 29, 2022 – Onit, Inc., a leading provider of enterprise workflow solutions – including enterprise legal management (ELM) and contract lifecycle management (CLM) – and Randstad Sourceright, a leading procurement managed services provider, today announced they are partnering to help clients create, negotiate and manage the services they procure via Statement of Work (SOW) based contracts.

“Our primary goal is to help clients draft better contracts upfront,” said Scott Brewer, Head of Delivery Excellence within Randstad Sourceright’s Global Services Procurement Practice. “Buying services differs from direct materials since there is an inherent ambiguity in how companies perceive and articulate the value they are paying for. How you structure a contract is therefore an essential ingredient in whether an SOW-based engagement will be judged as successful or not. With Onit’s CLM and AI platform Precedent, we’re introducing a sophisticated tool that will evaluate contract quality and spotlight items of risk.”

“Contracts represent a vital component of any business. Randstad Sourceright’s experts deeply understand what makes a good contract and how our technologies can add value to their clients’ processes,” Matt DenOuden, senior vice president of global sales for Onit, said. “We’re proud to partner with Randstad Sourceright and to help their clients along the pathway to best procurement practice.”

A Thorough Evaluation

Based on a deep scorecard for the ideal CLM solution, Randstad Sourceright undertook a rigorous evaluation of CLM solutions over 11 months.

“Onit ticked all the boxes due to its innovative technology, position and its quality of support,” Brewer said. “Their pre-trained, multi-faceted AI surpasses the traditional ‘find and retrieve’ capabilities of other solutions. It finds an item, analyzes where it is and how it’s phrased and provides an interpretation. As it reviews more contracts and learns more, it only becomes smarter and more efficient.”

Onit’s CLM software empowers teams across the enterprise with end-to-end automation of the entire contract management process. It modernizes the whole contract lifecycle management process through time-saving capabilities, such as contract generation, automated risk mitigation, self-service and a Microsoft Word integration that lets customers work in their typical applications.

Onit’s Precedent is an artificial intelligence platform that reads, writes and reasons like a lawyer. Its mission is to help business professionals get more work done faster during the pre-signature and post-signature phases, increasing the speed to finalize contracts and ensuring the management of obligations after the deal is closed.

Onit and CLM Momentum

This new partnership adds to Onit’s continued CLM momentum. In the short time since Onit launched CLM in 2019, IDC named it a major player, Fortune 500 companies have implemented it for worldwide contract management and awards programs have recognized its role in modernizing contract lifecycle management.

Learn More About the Partnership with This Podcast and at SIG’s 2022 Procurement Technology Summit

Brewer and DenOuden discuss contract management, Randstad Sourceright’s plans for CLM and AI and the impact of these technologies in the latest episode of the Onit podcast. You can also listen to the discussion on Apple, Google Podcasts and Spotify.

On April 5, 2022, Onit’s CLM director Charmel Rhyne and Brewer will discuss How Best-In-Class Organizations Use Integrated AI in Contract Lifecycle Management during SIG’s 2022 Technology Procurement Summit that will take place April 4-6 on Amelia Island, FL.

Onit to Host Legalweek Panel Discussion: Building Stronger Connections to the Enterprise

WHAT: Legalweek Emerging Technology Panel Discussion: Building Stronger Connections to the Enterprise
WHEN: March 10, 1:30 – 2:30 pm ET
WHERE: Legalweek New York, New York Hilton Midtown
SPEAKERS:

About the Session

Legal departments don’t operate in a silo, and the technology you use shouldn’t either. Most legal tech systems – whether ELM, CLM, AI or others – manage processes that involve business units outside of legal. It should be simple to include those stakeholders in critical workflows without complex integrations and to incorporate advanced technology like AI to enhance the way legal serves the business. When that openness and innovation happens, legal is more connected to the enterprise, risk is better managed, and costs are better understood. Hear from legal operations leaders about their vision for this connection and how they are implementing it in their organizations.

Onit CEO and Co-Founder Eric M. Elfman Wins the Legalweek Leaders in Tech Law Lifetime Achievement Award

HOUSTON, March 1, 2022 – Onit, Inc., a leading provider of enterprise workflow solutions including enterprise legal management and contract lifecycle management, today announced that its CEO and co-founder Eric M. Elfman has won the Lifetime Achievement Award in the 2022 Legalweek Leaders in Tech Law Awards program. The awards ceremony, scheduled for March 10 during Legalweek, acknowledges career achievement in the development and adoption of legal technologies and legal technology companies.

Eric M. Elfman, CEO and co-founder, Onit

Eric M. Elfman, CEO and co-founder, Onit


“Twenty-five years ago, I consulted for a Fortune 10 law department that had no way to pinpoint how much money it spent on legal services,” Elfman said. “That conversation inspired me to launch Datacert, an electronic invoicing and legal spend company, with Eric Smith, who is now Onit’s co-founder, COO and chief security officer. Technology has indisputably evolved the business of law, and it’s truly inspiring to see what our customers at Onit have accomplished. I am humbled by this recognition on behalf of Legalweek and the broader legal technology community.”

Elfman started Onit more than 10 years ago with co-founders Smith, John Gilman, Onit’s vice president of products, and Jill Black, vice president of marketing for Onit. The company began with two employees and $25,000 in revenue. Under Elfman’s leadership as CEO, Onit secured a $200 million investment, acquired six companies and grew into a global business with more than 2,800 corporate legal customers and 600 employees. The company’s fast-paced, award-winning revenue growth has been acknowledged in the Deloitte Technology Fast 500, the Inc. 5000 and the Growjo 10K. Its product innovation has earned accolades from the BIG Innovation Awards and the Gold Globees.

Elfman, who has also won the EY Entrepreneur of the Year award for emerging technology and been named a Most Admired CEO by the Houston Business Journal, began his entrepreneurial career as a teenager selling skateboard parts. After serving in the Navy, he earned his MBA at Rice University and established three companies in the legal space – PeerPoint, Datacert and Onit. He helped envision and create industry standards in e-billing, including the Legal Electronic Data Exchange Standard (LEDES) and the Uniform Task Based Management System (UTBMS).

In addition to acknowledging Elfman, the awards ceremony will also celebrate Onit’s legal operations management subsidiary, SimpleLegal. The company’s AI-enabled invoice review technology, SimpleReview, is a finalist for the Legalweek Leaders in Tech Law Awards in the category of Legal Ops.

Connect with Onit at Legalweek

In addition to the awards ceremony, Legalweek attendees will have several opportunities to connect with Onit and its family of companies during the conference running March 8-11 in New York City’s Hilton Midtown.

Onit Continues Accelerated Growth, Reaching 2021 Milestones While Focused on Opportunities for Expansion in 2022

HOUSTON, February 22, 2022 – Onit, Inc., a leading provider of enterprise workflow solutions including enterprise legal management and contract lifecycle management, today announced rapid growth in 2021 fueled by significant accomplishments that include closing three strategic acquisitions in five months, key launches of AI-enabled products that help corporate legal departments modernize contract management and legal invoice review and processing $8.3 billion in legal invoices across Onit and its subsidiaries.

The accomplishments speak to its continued success and innovation as it celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2021. When founded, it began with a no-code platform and a goal to disrupt the enterprise legal management market. In the past decade, Onit has evolved into a global legal technology conglomerate with enterprise legal management and contract lifecycle management technologies for corporate legal departments of all sizes.

“Each day, more than 2,800 corporate legal departments worldwide rely on Onit and its family of companies to capitalize on operational efficiencies and cost savings,” Eric M. Elfman, CEO and co-founder of Onit, said. “It’s our mission to ensure that they have sophisticated tools and experts to help build on their results, something exemplified by our 2021 acquisition strategy and product portfolio expansion. This year will find us focused on additional, untapped opportunities that will not only accelerate Onit’s growth but continue to empower our customers to modernize their legal operations and build a connected enterprise.” 

Enterprise Legal Management Leadership

In 2021, Onit became one of the world’s largest enterprise legal management conglomerates with the acquisition of BusyLamp, a premier provider of legal spend and matter management software for European corporate legal departments. Together, Onit and its legal operations management subsidiaries SimpleLegal and BusyLamp processed $8.3 billion in legal invoices last year and have a shared history of more than 600 implementations worldwide.

Onit expanded its enterprise legal management solutions with the acquisition of Bodhala in September 2021. Bodhala, a legal spend analytics, benchmarking and market intelligence leader, applies machine learning and AI to help companies source outside counsel at competitive and market-driven rates.

Continuing its commitment to product innovation, Onit debuted InvoiceAI, its AI-enabled review for both historical and real-time invoices. The product has already won a 2022 BIG Innovation Award and joins Onit’s 2021 Gold Globee award in software development for its enterprise legal management solution.

Growing Momentum for Contract Lifecycle Management

Onit continued its advancement in the contract lifecycle management market, with IDC naming it a Major Player and the launch of new AI technologies for contract management. Automate NDA uses AI to streamline and automate the entire nondisclosure agreement process, reducing the time spent on NDAs by 70%. Smart Checklists, offered as part of the ReviewAI Microsoft Word add-in, turns playbook checks into intelligent, actionable and collaborative tasks.

In 2021, the company extended its contract management market reach to midsize and smaller companies. Its acquisition of SecureDocs, which closed in 2021 and was announced in January, expanded Onit’s product portfolio with a quickly deployable contract management software. Now, customers have technologies for companies at any stage in legal operations – from newly established to worldwide operations. SecureDocs will integrate with SimpleLegal to empower greater efficiencies, transparency and intelligence for legal operations teams.

Onit’s InvoiceAI Wins the Business Intelligence Group’s Award for Innovative Technology Products

onitfinaostage.wpenginepowered.com Wins a BIG Innovation Award for InvoiceAIHOUSTON, February 8, 2022 – Onit, Inc., a leading provider of enterprise workflow solutions including enterprise legal management and contract lifecycle management, announced today that its InvoiceAI has won a 2022 BIG Innovation Award. The annual business awards program acknowledges organizations, products and people worldwide that bring new ideas to life in innovative ways.

InvoiceAI uses artificial intelligence to help increase savings and reduce the time corporate legal departments spend on invoice review. Manual invoice review is time-intensive and often ineffective, especially for large Fortune 500 legal departments that receive a high volume of bills from outside counsel and vendors. Enterprise legal management eases this burden by applying billing rules to enforce outside counsel guidelines. Traditional billing rules without AI rely on words and context provided by in-house teams and an invoice that uses different descriptions or wording can evade them. InvoiceAI fills that gap.

InvoiceAI looks between the billing rules to identify potentially noncompliant charges. It can automatically adjust invoices to comply with guidelines or bring the discrepancy to the attention of reviewers. Because it is AI-based, it is always learning, improving and working tirelessly to reduce the volume of invoices needed for review and identify unnecessary expenses.

“The BIG Innovation Award for InvoiceAI further validates the positive impact of AI for legal operations teams in large enterprises,” Mary Fuzat, vice president of product management for Onit, said. “Our AI for invoice review transforms highly repetitive and manual tasks into automated processes that optimize both legal spend and efficiency. In fact, some customers have found up to 20% in savings when using Onit’s enterprise legal management solution and InvoiceAI.”

“Innovation is driving the global economy across virtually all industries,” Maria Jimenez, chief nominations officer of the Business Intelligence Group, said. “We are honored to award these executives, companies and products the BIG Innovation award this year. Each has made tremendous strides at improving the lives of their community.”

Onit Acquires SecureDocs, Broadening Its Contract Lifecycle Management Portfolio and Market Reach

HOUSTON, January 11, 2022 – Onit, Inc., a leading provider of enterprise workflow solutions including enterprise legal management and contract lifecycle management, today announced that it has acquired SecureDocs, a global software company for contract management, virtual deal rooms and electronic signatures. The acquisition, which strengthens Onit’s position as a leading, modern contract lifecycle management (CLM) provider, expands the company’s product portfolio from enterprise-level CLM to include a quickly deployable contract management solution for new and growing legal operations teams.

Since Onit launched its CLM solution in 2019, the company has won widespread acclaim from Fortune 500 customers, analysts and awards programs. Onit’s CLM streamlines inefficient and complex workflows for enterprises, resulting in up to a 52% efficiency increase and faster contract reviews. As a result, companies can shorten sales cycles and accelerate revenue generation.

ContractWorks from SecureDocs shares a parallel record of success for midsize and smaller companies. New legal operations and corporate development teams can set up contract management in minutes, quickly establishing their function and proving value. To date, SecureDocs and ContractWorks have helped customers effectively manage more than 13 million contracts and documents across 96 countries.

SecureDocs will integrate with SimpleLegal, Onit’s subsidiary and a modern legal operations software provider for rapidly scaling companies such as Instacart, Zenefits and Fender. Together, the two companies will empower businesses to harvest greater efficiencies, transparency and intelligence from legal operations while simplifying the overly manual and time-consuming workflows associated with legacy contract management practices.

“The acquisition of SecureDocs – like Onit’s acquisitions of legal CLM AI innovator McCarthyFinch and document automation leader AXDRAFT – furthers our commitment to move the industry forward and provide comprehensive and sophisticated solutions for our customers,” said Eric M. Elfman, CEO and co-founder of Onit. “We established a successful pattern with the launch of Onit’s enterprise legal management (ELM) a decade ago and the subsequent acquisitions of SimpleLegal, Bodhala and BusyLamp – extending ELM to everyone regardless of location or size. Now Onit is continuing this mission in CLM, offering a contract management solution for every company. I’m excited to welcome SecureDocs and its team to Onit as we enter the next phase of our CLM expansion.”

“SimpleLegal and SecureDocs are an ideal combination to solve the challenges faced by companies starting or establishing modernized legal operations,” said Mark Weidick, general manager of SimpleLegal. “Our shared philosophy has contributed to our mutual successes at SecureDocs and SimpleLegal. We both build simple to use and modern software to help our customers manage everything that matters in legal operations.”

“SecureDocs is thrilled about this significant step in our company history,” said Will Reynolds, CEO and co-founder of SecureDocs. Reynolds will continue to lead the company post-acquisition as general manager of SecureDocs. “We’ve found great synergy with SimpleLegal and Onit, and together, we’ll provide a more comprehensive suite of solutions to help customers streamline time-consuming processes so they can focus on strategic initiatives.”

SecureDocs joins Onit at a time of exponential growth. In the past 15 months, the company has acquired four other companies, including BusyLamp, a Europe-based provider of legal spend and matter management software; Bodhala, a legal spend analytics, benchmarking and market intelligence company; AXDRAFT, a document automation provider; and McCarthyFinch, which is now the Onit AI Center of Excellence. SimpleLegal, Onit’s first acquisition, closed in May 2019.

SimpleLegal and SecureDocs customers who would like to learn more about the acquisition can reach out to their customer success teams or account managers. You can also read more about it in this blog post.

HOUSTON, October 29, 2021 – Onit, Inc., a leading provider of enterprise workflow and artificial intelligence platforms and solutions, including enterprise legal management, contract lifecycle management and business process automation, today announced that they and their customer BT Group plc are joint finalists for Buying Legal Council’s prestigious Legal Procurement Award for Innovation.

“It was truly a great opportunity to work with David Griffin and his team at BT Group plc on their highly innovative MyLegal project,” said Eric M. Elfman, CEO and co-founder of Onit. “It was exciting for us to learn that the implementation reduced the complexity of BT’s technology stack by 75%, and an unprecedented 70% of matters that previously hadn’t been reportable or trackable were now under complete management. With the help of Onit’s solutions, BT is leveraging this opportunity to rethink, streamline and measure their activities and processes to transform their law department by integrating best practices into smarter workflows and operational efficiencies. The results of BT’s technology implementation speak for themselves, and for every hour they can give back to their lawyers on some task that can be automated, they can plow back into something that is more productive to their company.”

The awards provide a measure of recognition for achievement on the most relevant dimensions of skill and creativity,” commented Dr. Silvia Hodges Silverstein, CEO of the Buying Legal® Council.
