Onit and Morae Global Customer Pearson Takes 2019 Legal Procurement Award for Process Improvement

We are thrilled to celebrate our clients’ successes! Congratulations to Pearson plc on winning Buying Legal’s 2019 Legal Procurement Award for Process Improvement. Read what BuyingLegal had to say about Pearson’s recent transformation, which included a deployment of Onit’s Contract Management and Legal Service Request solutions, which are provided as part of a managed service from Morae Global.

“Pearson plc created a truly transformational Transaction Services Center: Together with an external provider who is part of the service delivery chain, Pearson leveraged technology and used standard processes, workflow and templates, to deliver legal services for its multinational business. The creation of the Center consolidated multiple legal teams and streamlined service delivery. It provided a department-wide technology platform for intake, service delivery/management, and reduced costs by over 35%.”

Onit, together with Pearson’s implementation and operations partner Morae Global, applaud Pearson for its recognition in this space!

The Buying Legal© Council has awarded winners for three years. Winners in legal procurement continue to innovate and set the stage for even greater collaboration and efficiency.

“Our goal is to identify and acknowledge best-in class leaders in legal procurement,” says Dr. Silvia Hodges Silverstein, executive director of the Buying Legal© Council. “Each award winner and runner-up not only succeeded in their respective area, but also surpassed the current status quo of the discipline. These leaders in legal procurement are at the forefront of new developments. Their advances inspire all of us and we all do well learning from them.”

Submissions for the awards were entered in a blind peer-review. All decisions were made unanimously among the judges, all of them experienced legal procurement professionals.

In 2018, Jaguar Land Rover, an Onit customer, was a runner up for the 2018 Legal Procurement Awards in the Best Use of Technology category. Archer Daniels Midland won in the same category in 2017.
