Onit to Illustrate Power of Smart Process Apps at Mitratech Interact 2013

HOUSTON — (BUSINESS WIRE) — Onit, a leading provider of Smart Process Apps, today announced that Paul Zengilowski, its Customer Development Executive, will lead a session exploring real-world benefits of Smart Process Apps at the annual Mitratech users’ conference. The event, attended by hundreds of Mitratech clients and partners and scheduled for Oct. 13-16 in Austin, Texas, offers a peer-driven forum that focuses on practical strategies for legal, compliance and risk for corporations and government agencies.

Zengilowski will partner with Rich Seleznov of 3^rd Street Consulting LLC to present “A New Era: Smart Process Apps are Re-inventing How Law Departments Operate” on Tuesday, Oct. 15 at 10 a.m. CT. The discussion will include an overview into Smart Process Apps and how companies have used them to cultivate significant improvements in operational processes and cost reductions.

For many law departments, growth in business is leading to unrelenting demand for urgent legal services and a constant challenge to provide improved and expanded legal services. Enterprise software often fails to incorporate the very tools – such as email, spreadsheets, and documents – that track and document important processes. Now, law departments are turning to Smart Process Apps to drive new methods of tracking legal services and communicating around matters.

A number of Fortune 500 companies, including a number of Mitratech clients, have selected Onit Apps to automate processes such as contract review, accruals collection, NDA self-service and other processes currently handled with email, Microsoft Word and Excel spreadsheets. In doing so, they are more easily able to manage risk, improve responsiveness to their business clients, increase productivity of their staff attorneys, and gain greater transparency and insight into their portfolio of work.

Attendees of this session will learn why companies have turned to Smart Process Apps instead of their traditional systems of record and how their performance and adoption metrics are seeing significant business and operational improvements such as:

• Faster turnaround times on agreements
• Easily accessible centralized repositories for agreements and contracts
• A significant reduction in costs around reviewing and finalizing contracts
• A greater transparency into the status of legal matters for clients
