Onit, Equinix and Archer Daniels Midland to Present at ACC Legal Operations Conference

For nearly two decades, enterprise legal management (ELM) has focused on matter management and spend management. It’s fair to say that effective ELM platforms were, and still are, good at what they do best – only matter and spend management.

There has been a distinct paradigm shift and evolutionary branching off from those older ELM systems. Today, the most effective ELM platforms facilitate engagement, are focused on “process,” offer an environment where the user experience is crucial and can be augmented to manage other legal processes. Today’s definition of ELM includes all of the following tasks — contract management, legal service requests, NDAs, and legal holds (to name a few).

This session will highlight how innovative legal departments have acknowledged the evolutionary ELM paradigm shift and have implemented solutions to get ahead of the curve.

• The importance of process, workflow, and collaboration
• How a business automation tool solves needs beyond e-billing and matter management
• Key benchmarks and metrics that drive innovation and transformation in legal operations
