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.”

NEW YORK, NY — (MARKETWIRE) — 01/30/12 — Onit, a leading provider of business productivity and process management apps, today unveiled new apps at LegalTech New York 2012® for Legal and Governance, Risk & Compliance departments. Designed to help business and legal teams become more efficient at what they do, Onit Apps streamline operations, automate processes, drive control costs and help reduce company risk.

Onit Apps bring consumer-like application simplicity to the business enterprise. Process is inherent in everything a company does. Onit Apps are designed for business managers that need more than email and spreadsheets to automate, manage and track business-critical processes.

“Onit Apps are different than other business process tools in the market today,” commented Eric M. Elfman, CEO of Onit. “They are built to deliver real value to the business user and designed to simplify business processes like contract review and approval, NDA requests, ethics violations, whistleblower reports, IP infringement, etc. Onit Apps are unique in that they let business users consume and interact with data in a way that is familiar to them, similar to the way they engage with Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter.”

Onit Legal Apps

Processes are integral in every department and legal is no exception. Onit’s Legal Apps can be tailored for any legal process and are designed specifically for the business user — not IT. Some of the compelling features include real-time notifications, custom templates, flexible workflow, easy-to-use checklists and collaboration features. Today, Onit has Apps for the following processes:

• ReviewAI & Approval
• Service Mark or Trademark Registration
• IP Infringement
• E-billing & Spend Management
• Matter Management
• Matter Intake
• Invention Disclosure

Onit Governance, Risk & Compliance Apps

Ethics and compliance policies are necessary to minimize a company’s risk and exposure. As companies struggle to do “more” with fewer resources, Onit’s Apps can bridge the gap to make compliance easier, more consistent and effective. Unfortunately, human-driven processes leave an organization exposed to risk and potential lawsuits. Onit’s Apps were designed to mitigate these claims by simplifying and automating the process. Onit’s Governance, Risk & Compliance Apps include:

• Ethics Violations
• Whistleblower Reports
• E&O Claims
• SAS-70/SSAE-16 Compliance
• Incident/Accident Reports

Pricing & Availability

Onit’s Legal and Governance, Risk & Compliance Apps are available immediately and pricing is based on a monthly subscription. Onit Apps are cloud-based so there is no software to install or expensive upfront investment. Demos of all the apps will be shown during the LegalTech New York 2012 tradeshow in the Cyber Café Monday, January 30 – Wednesday, February 1.
