HOUSTON — (BUSINESS WIRE) — Onit, a leading provider of Smart Process Apps, today announced that its Customer Development Executive Paul Zengilowski will lead a discussion on how Apps can positively impact processes and performance during the 2014 Business Process Excellence for Financial Services Summit. The summit, scheduled for March 11-13 in New York City, features presentations from more than 20 experts in companies including Deutsche Bank, GE Capital and UBS.

Zengilowski’s presentation, scheduled for March 12 at 11:30 AM ET and titled “Navigating the ‘New BPM’ Landscape: Apps That Tame Business Process and Empower Knowledge Workers,” will highlight how the right tools allow knowledge workers to focus on process results rather than difficult technology.

Business process management (BPM) is a top initiative at most global companies. However, it is nearly impossible to tame the chaos around processes because of a lack of visibility and use of antiquated systems. Smart Process Apps are the new tools for the 21st century knowledge worker because of their flexibility, ease of use and low deployment costs.

Zengilowski’s discussion will include:

• The simplicity of creating business Apps and how it facilitates a rapid development and “learn by doing” mentality
• The importance of delivering world-class customer value that supports all points of interactions between knowledge workers
• How App Builder clients have strategically integrated existing processes into simplified process structure using UTBMS phases for litigation and compliance/transactions
• The difference between a standard development toolset and custom development through IT
• The strategic value and ROI of moving process initiation and approval out of email to gain increased transparency

HOUSTON — (BUSINESS WIRE) — Onit, a leading provider of Smart Process Apps, today announced that 2013 was a year of continued growth for the company, with achievements including:

“Our clients can harness unprecedented functionality, customization and user adoption within hours with Onit’s Smart Process Apps,” said Eric M.

In 2013, we executed to our strategic goals and anticipate continued growth in 2014.”

In 2013, Onit greatly expanded on its offerings of Smart Process Apps. In January, Onit unveiled 10 legal Smart Process Apps at LegalTech New York. This was followed by the launch of its Smart Process App market in September, which showcases 22 Apps across various departments covering compliance, HR, IT, legal, procurement, real estate and sales.

Onit also introduced document assembly functionality which creates documents from templates using submitted form data and allowing for immediate turnaround of documents such as Non-disclosure Agreements to the business.

In October, software advisor Capterra named Onit to its top-twenty list of leading contract management software – an award based on a combination of total number of customers, active users and online presence.

Onit also continued to support the legal community with exhibitions at LegalTech New York, LegalTech West Coast and the Mitratech User Conference.

HOUSTON — (BUSINESS WIRE) — Onit, a leading provider of Smart Process Apps, today announced that it launched its suite of Legal E-billing and Matter Management Apps at LegalTech New York 2014. The new suite of Apps enables corporate law departments and laws firms to share all types of sensitive information (i.e., matter types, practice areas, timekeeper rates, expenses, invoices, budgets, etc.) in a truly collaborative workspace that wasn’t built in the 1990s.

The new App suite was designed from the ground up by experts in legal e-billing – the founders of Datacert – Eric M. Elfman and Eric Smith – and is the first real innovation in the legal spend management space in more than 20 years.

“Our Apps are the next frontier for software because they are created for people and built for change,” commented Eric M. Elfman, Onit CEO and founder. “Whether you are looking to build the most full-featured e-billing or matter management system or augment your existing system, Onit Apps are easy to develop and deploy. We’ve configured Apps in less than 30 minutes and helped customers get up and running before they could even sign a contract. Try that with your existing legal spend management vendor.”

“The only reason that we decided to get into the Legal E-billing and Matter Management space is that the market had gotten stale and the existing choices for legal departments were old-fashioned, to be kind. We found a way to take everything that is good about Onit Apps – quick to deploy, highly-focused on specific problems, collaborative from the ground up – and combine them together to create an enterprise-grade solution for Legal E-billing and Matter Management.”

Onit E-billing App

Onit’s E-billing App helps you manage, track and collaborate with your outside law firms and vendors with more efficiency and effectiveness. Now, your law firms can submit invoices using Onit’s BillingPoint service and share real-time information that is essential to its financial relationship.

• Matter Engagement and Retention – Matter engagement letters can be created and stored in the App so you can manage the law firms and vendors you have on retention.
• Timekeeper Management – Keep track of all your authorized timekeepers and timekeeper rates in one location. Adjustments can be made quickly and easily with a few clicks.

Onit’s Matter Management App delivers clarity about your overall matter portfolio while providing real-time data and dashboards so you can monitor and track all your matters throughout their lifecycle.

HOUSTON — (BUSINESS WIRE) — Onit, a leading provider of Smart Process Apps, today announced that its Apps now support e-signing capabilities. The new feature gives Onit Smart Process App users the ability to electronically sign non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), master service agreements (MSAs) and any other contract or document as well as submit, review, approve and manage them with one easy-to-use tool.

The contract review and approval process is often a challenging one for busy professionals. Contracts often require multiple reviews and edits from numerous individuals inside and outside of the organization – a process that is most often handled with tools such as spreadsheets, emails, and documents. This leaves the department with a limited amount of visibility as to where a contract is, how long it’s been there or when it’s expected to be completed.

More importantly, Onit’s eSignature capabilities dramatically reduce the risk associated with operating under unexecuted agreements. It also ensures that every executed contract is automatically delivered as executed to the proper legal internal repositories for storing and auditing.

The Onit ReviewAI and Approval App provides a simple, reliable process for the entire lifecycle of the contract and yields benefits such as revenue cycle compression, improved contract compliance, and improved operational efficiencies. The addition of the Adobe EchoSign electronic signature capabilities not only improves productivity but also ensures that the entire span of a contract’s review is auditable within the Onit App.

HOUSTON — (BUSINESS WIRE) — Onit, a leading provider of Smart Process Apps, today announced that software advisor Capterra has named Onit to its top-twenty list of leading contract management software.

Companies included on the list were measured by a combination of their total number of customers, active users, and online presence. Onit ranked number 16 on the list of 20.

Smart Process Apps from Onit are light-weight, easily customizable applications that simplify complex processes such as contract review and approval, contract administration, matter management, budgeting and employee onboarding. Since the company’s launch in 2010, it has seen an exponential growth in the adoption of its Apps by companies such as APCO Worldwide, The Home Depot, and ZS Associates.

“Since our App market launch, we have seen an aggressive adoption rate for our Smart Process Apps. The Apps streamline time-consuming processes that previously relied on transparency-dimming and manual tools such as emails, spreadsheets, and documents to track progress through completion. Contract management often requires extensive review periods populated by multiple reviewers and edits, which can vastly complicate the process. Our ReviewAI & Approval App adds an important layer of automation, documentation and auditing to the process,” said Eric M. Elfman, co-founder and CEO of Onit.

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

HOUSTON, TX — (MARKETWIRE) — 09/24/13 — Onit, a leading provider of Smart Process Apps, today announced the launch of its Smart Process App Market.

Smart Process Apps, defined by Forrester as “A new category of application software designed to support business activities that are people-intensive, highly variable, loosely structured and subject to frequent change,” bridge the gap between the limitations of traditional enterprise software and the desire by stakeholders to enact more collaborative and transparent business experiences.

Onit’s Smart Process App Market offers more than 20 Apps that unite business practices across disciplines including:

• Contract Administration
• Invoice Payment & Approval
• Employee Onboarding
• Quote Approval

“The ability to not only survive but thrive depends on a corporation’s ability to quickly identify and respond to new and existing business opportunities. Smart Process Apps can quickly conform to ever-evolving processes and fill the gap between systems of record and systems of engagement,” said Eric M. Elfman, co-founder and CEO of Onit. “As a light-weight, process-driven offering, they are also uniquely flexible, allowing business teams to make continuous improvements to a process.”

Recently, companies have gained time and cost-savings by adopting Smart Process Apps. One Fortune® 500 corporation saved more than $1 million with Onit’s Legal Process Outsourcing App. Another Fortune 500 corporation deployed Onit’s Quote Approval App and realized a significantly faster review and approval cycle on quotations worth billions of dollars.

LOS ANGELES, CA — (MARKETWIRE) — 05/20/13 — Onit, a leading provider of business productivity and process management Apps, today announced that Jennifer Billingsley, General Counsel for ZS Associates and Paul Zengilowski, customer development executive for Onit will be presenting on the importance of business process Apps at LegalTech West Coast in Los Angeles.

The discussion, titled “A New Era: Business Apps are Re-Inventing How High-Performing Law Departments Operate,” is scheduled for May 21 at 2:45 pm PT during the conference’s Emerging Technology track. LegalTech West Coast is one of the leading conferences for law firms and legal departments that provides practical information for improving law practice management.

Despite an almost universal focus by corporate law departments on managing risk, improving responsiveness and increasing productivity, most law departments find gaps in their ability to achieve great transparency and insight around their portfolio of work. According to surveys, the gaps relate specifically to the ability to manage workflow, collaboration and transaction review and approval.

However, more and more high-performing law departments are turning to a new category of business process Apps to address these issues and deliver new capabilities to attorneys and the business units they support. During the presentation, Billingsley and Zengilowski will discuss:

• How a diverse range of companies like ZS Associates, Johnson Controls, and The Home Depot are deploying Onit Apps to support contract review and approval, self-service NDAs, LPO transaction workflow, document assembly and compliance activities
• How law departments can leverage best practices to improve responsiveness, increase productivity and develop greater insight to their portfolio of work
• How Apps that augment existing technology including email, matter management, document management and other enterprise systems, can extend and enable the enterprise-wide collaboration necessary to support businesses across organizational and geographic boundaries
