About the Session

No two legal departments have the exact same needs, and regulatory and legal requirements vary by industry and jurisdiction. This is why standard enterprise legal management solutions often fall short. The power of enterprise legal management that sits on a business process automation platform like Onit’s Apptitude is that workflows can be configured to specific needs and data and reports can be consolidated in one place to make reporting easier and more meaningful. Join this webinar to learn how DaVita is planning to leverage the power of Apptitude to take legal operations to the next level.

We will also highlight some of the other solutions that Onit’s Apptitude platform has solved for other enterprise-wide process challenges. With more than 5,500 Apps and 130 solutions built using Onit’s platform, legal operations managers can implement a platform that is configurable, scalable and can support hundreds of thousands of users worldwide.

HOUSTON – September 1, 2020 – Onit, Inc., a leading provider of enterprise workflow solutions, including enterprise legal management, contract lifecycle management and business process automation, today released a catalog representing more than 5,500 Apps and 130 solutions built on its workflow and business process automation platform Apptitude. The Apps and solutions, developed by Onit customers, partners and employees, represent innovative approaches to automating business processes in legal operations and across departments.

“The Onit Apptitude platform is built on a decade of best practices and offers limitless opportunities to streamline critical business processes throughout the enterprise,” said Eric M. Elfman, CEO and co-founder of Onit. “The Onit Nation, which includes employees, partners and customers that build on the Apptitude platform, has created solutions and Apps that automate simple and complex business challenges alike – from information gathering to security governance and escalation management. If there’s a use case, Onit’s workflow automation platform can automate it.”

While almost any process or workflow-related problem can be tackled with the Apptitude platform, below are a few examples of the Apps and solutions found in the catalog:

• Business Continuity – This suite of Apps helps companies better manage the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including maintaining a remote workforce, overseeing business changes, mitigating company risk and managing financial impacts.
• TREAD Report – One of the largest automotive manufacturers uses Onit to automate reporting for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s Transportation Recall Enhancement, Accountability, and Documentation (TREAD) Act, reducing manual work and ensuring the company complies with the act.
• Trade Association Approval and Management – This App, created by a Fortune 500 company, manages memberships, renewals and spend for trade associations worldwide. By adding transparency and reporting to the process, the company drives more value from association participation and greater accountability that lowers costs.
• Fund Management – This App helps manage all of the necessary business processes, reviews and approvals for the transfer of assets between portfolio companies and generates the legal documents needed to memorialize the transactions. Now, a company can facilitate higher volumes of these complex financial transactions with the same size staff.
