Onit was recently recognized by Hyperion as a market leader in process management and highly innovative for architecture and its “appification” approach.

The Hyperion MarketView™ Report is a comprehensive review of the e-billing and matter management market from the perspective of Enterprise Legal Management (ELM). Particularly oriented towards the solution needs of mid- to large-sized legal departments (i.e., Global 1000 organizations), the focus of the report is integrated solutions that include advanced capabilities in spend management, collaboration, workflow and advanced analytics.

The report recognized Onit in areas critical to improving legal department operation in the following areas:

• Market Leader in Process Management – Onit’s App Builder platform allows users to focus on workflow management and process automation, rather than on data entry as with legacy systems – the Matter & Spend Management Solution itself offers the kind of strong functionality one would expect from a leading system.
• “With its emphasis on “process management” as a means of introducing content scalability to legal operations, Onit can be seen as a disruptive player among ELM solution providers – possibly a paradigm shift brought about by the same team that shifted the market a generation ago.
• Highly Innovative in the “Appification” Approach – Call it the a la carte take on matter management: Onit allows for the routing of discrete tasks to discrete stakeholders and empowers users to access what they need when they need it. The architecture and underlying technology is decidedly modern and heavily geared toward the Web, enabling the fast-paced “appification” environment.

We are quite pleased with the findings of Hyperion’s report. “This report significantly raises the profile of our company as a market leader in ELM solutions,” commented Eric M. Elfman, Onit CEO and founder, Onit. Onit’s domain expertise from the last two decades and our innovative approach to solving the needs of global legal departments speaks to our passion for advancing and evolving the legal industry.

We fundamentally believe that ELM is more than just matter and legal spend management and our solution is the only platform that lets you solve the “whole” of your legal department’s needs, whether that is for contract management, NDA creation and distribution, Legal Holds, SEC filings, eDiscovery or IP issues. Our ‘process’ approach is unlike any other ELM solution in the market today.”

“Onit has proven a great partner both in terms of its product features and the customer service support the Onit team provides. Onit provides a very nimble product that can be quickly modified and adapted for various business needs. This is not the case with the other products we considered in this space. My experience of Onit is that they are motivated not only to sell their product at the outset but to continue to improve the product and ensure customer success in the adoption and use of the product. It’s been a great experience so far.”

– Dana McDonald, Senior Counsel, Under Armour 

“I love Onit Apps! I seem to find most of my problems can be solved with an Onit App. They are very easy to get setup and the customer support team is great at responding quickly and making updates as we identify changes we need. [The App] has improved our intake process … We have recently found that other departments are now asking us for access to the information we have in there because it is so valuable!”

– Kirsten Taitelbaum, Director of Legal Finance and Operations, DaVita Healthcare Partners, Inc.

We are so excited to have Matt DenOuden join the Onit team as our new vice president of sales. With nearly 30 years of industry experience, Matt has been on the front lines of the Enterprise Legal Management (ELM) revolution. Matt’s expertise in legal operations technology and strategy will play a key role in Onit’s future as we help modernize corporate legal departments use of technology and automate their processes. Matt has worked with more than 50% of the Fortune 500 law departments in the last decade alone and brings great insight to what makes technology successful in carrying out company strategy. 

In a statement on LinkedIn, Matt expressed his dedication to Onit’s vision:

“I am excited and proud to join the management team at Onit, Inc. where I will lead the sales effort at the fastest growing ELM company in the market. In a few short years, Onit has gathered an amazing list of thought-leading clients. For these clients, Onit often not only handles all the workflows and needs of the law department, but is so powerful and flexible as to include dozens of Apps for adjacent workflows like contract management, sales, compliance, and legal holds (to name just a few…). The philosophy of Onit is to meet the knowledge worker at the point of process and decision making with an intuitive and powerful tool providing the data to make the smart decision. The potential applications are nearly limitless across legal, claims, the contract life cycle, and even healthcare. I have been truly inspired to see the list of Onit “Enterprise Apps” grow on a monthly basis.

I believe that the Onit vision, to which I hope to contribute, will lead to much stronger adoption and value creation in the ELM space–two areas where other solutions have struggled in recent years. Dozens and dozens of clients of old ELM platform solutions have already crossed over to the Onit way and there is another large wave building. Sometimes, new clients join Onit one App (workflow) at a time. Migrating budgeting, then rate management, then legal holds, then finally full matter and spend management. Implementing an Onit App, even in a complex workflow, takes weeks not months. Once client users have had the fresh, intuitive Onit experience in one workflow, they almost always demand it in others. One client has over 80 Apps, including one to monitor the huge usage of the others. For this client, thus far, none of these Apps is directly tied to matter and spend management. (Yet…)! This only goes to show that Onit is there to serve the customer’s need today, whatever that might be.

At Onit, we will not rest until we help you find a better way to work!”

Onit was featured in this week’s TechnoLawyer NewsWire (TL NewsWire), outlining our Contract Management Suite in an exclusive report. Onit’s solutions are growing in popularity and we are very excited for the write up.

Here’s some of our favorite quotes from the TL Newswire:

“Working in a legal department can feel like being in a bumper car as you’re bombarded daily with requests to review new contracts and stay on top of leases, software licenses, and other agreements with important date-related terms. Manual systems comprised of email and spreadsheets can seem like chewing gum and bailing wire, inadequate to the task….

…Onit features a ReviewAI & Approval portal through which managers and salespeople can submit contracts to the legal department. You can configure the intake form for each type of contract routinely submitted. Based on preset rules, Onit routes each submitted agreement to a designated lawyer for review. Designated lawyers receive an email notification, and also see the contract on their dashboard.

Each contract has a “Phased Workflow” feature to ensure compliance with your company’s policies and to ensure a timely review. These workflows accommodate parallel or serial processes and conditional logic. For example, contracts involving more than $1M can require an extra approval from your general counsel. Lifecycle metrics can be added to track the number of days it takes to approve and finalize the contract.

Tools within the Phased Workflow environment enable you to communicate with the business team and attach markups and supporting materials. Onit also provides a unique email address for each contract so that any email you need to send automatically gets filed in that contract’s workflow.”
