Onit to Host Webinar on Enterprise Legal Management (ELM) with Forrester Research and ADM on October 14

Posted on October 13, 2015 by -

WEBINAR DETAILS: Wednesday, October 14
1:00 p.m. CDT / 2:00 p.m. EDT
Duration: 45 minutes (with a 15-minute Q&A session)
SPEAKERS:
  • David Cambria, Global Director of Operations, Law, Compliance and Government Relations, Archer Daniels Midland Company
  • Cheryl McKinnon, Principal Analyst serving Enterprise Architecture, Forrester Research
  • Paul Zengilowski, Customer Development Executive, Onit
DESCRIPTION:

E-billing and legal spend management technology have been around for nearly 20 years yet legal departments still think “innovation” means tracking matters and managing legal spend. This decades-old technology is at the end of its technology curve – until now.

The webinar will offer a thought-provoking discussion on market trends and the new ELM technology landscape. Topics of discussion will include:

  • Why systems of record are not enough to drive operational improvements
  • Why traditional Enterprise Legal Management (ELM) systems fall short
  • Why e-billing and matter management technology only represent a fraction of a legal department’s needs
  • Why process, workflow and collaboration are critical for a legal department to succeed

Onit Expands Operations in Texas and Adds Vice President of Sales Solutions

Posted on June 29, 2015 by -

AUSTIN, Texas — Onit, Inc., a leading provider of Enterprise Apps, today announced that it opened an Austin office and hired Paul Wallace as vice president of sales solutions.

Bringing more than 18 years of information technology experience, Paul Wallace comes to Onit from the SHI Corporate Division. In this role, Wallace developed and executed the “go to market” strategy that, starting from ground zero, saw the acquisition of 6,200 new customers and revenue of $623 million in two years. Partnering with key vendor partners like Dell, HP, and VMware, he was able to accelerate Data Center product sales two times faster than forecasted.

Prior to SHI, Wallace led the ground up development of three separate billion-dollar business entities, Dell’s Public Transaction Group, the SMB Relationship Division, and the Internet Partners Division. Wallace and Jim Currie, VP of Sales, will head up Onit’s new Austin office and drive the company’s sales operations.

“The hiring of Paul Wallace and our expanded presence in Texas is the result of our strategic plan for Onit and its continued and consistent growth,” said Eric M. Elfman, CEO, and founder of Onit. “Paul will leverage his experience in both ‘direct’ and ‘channel’ markets, along with his leadership in P&L, operations, and change management to help Onit create a market-leading sales operation. Throughout his career, Paul has shown himself to be a true ‘intrapreneur,’ something we hold in very high esteem at Onit.”

Onit’s Austin expansion is the result of accelerated revenue growth, 764% from 2012 to 2014, and the market demand for Onit’s Enterprise Apps to expedite and streamline a wide range of day-to-day processes such as contract review and approval, legal spend management, employee onboarding and matter intake. Onit’s Austin office is located at 3305 Northland Drive, Suite 505, Austin, Texas, 78731, just west of MoPac in Austin’s scenic Balcones Hills neighborhood.
