Onit’s CEO to Speak at 34th Annual Corporate Counsel Institute By Onit May 3, 2012 Press Release 3 Minute Read HOUSTON, TX — (MARKETWIRE) — 05/03/12 — Onit, a leading provider of business productivity and process management apps, today announced that its CEO, Eric M. Elfman, will join a panel discussion during the 34th Annual Corporate Counsel Institute centered on cloud computing. The conference, scheduled for May 3-4 in Houston and hosted by the University of Texas School of Law and the Corporate Counsel section of the State Bar of Texas, will welcome in-house counsel eager to discuss issues ranging from labor, employment and privacy law updates to the latest advances in legal technology. Elfman’s session, titled “Cloud Computing,” is scheduled for May 4 at 10 am CT and includes insights from fellow panelist Edward A. Cavazos of Bracewell & Giuliani LLP. The presentation will focus on the various legal issues involved in contracting for and using cloud computing-based services. This includes special contracting concerns for purchasers of Software as a Service (SaaS) and other cloud offerings, security and privacy issues and an analysis of responsibilities and risk allocation between vendors and purchasers. “Many corporate law departments have a vast amount of technology at their disposal such as matter, spend and case management solutions yet chief legal officers still cite their two largest challenges as managing a law department’s workload and workflow,” said Elfman. “Cloud computing offers an unparalleled opportunity to remedy these problems, which will allow in-house counsel and its leadership to quit operating on a day-to-day level and focus on strategic operations and initiatives.” To learn more about this presentation or to register for the event, visit http://bit.ly/IXGCfw.
