Onit, Inc., a leading provider of enterprise workflow and artificial intelligence platforms and solutions, including contract lifecycle management, enterprise legal management and business process automation, today announced that it has launched a new solution called Automate NDA.

Automate NDA is an easy-to-implement, best practice solution that uses AI to streamline and automate the entire non-disclosure agreement (NDA) process. 

The solution combines Onit’s workflow and AI platforms, Apptitude and Precedent, to automate the drafting, review, negotiation, execution and management of NDAs at a competitive price point. All of this happens in an accessible, simplified legal portal that enables self-service where that is the approved workflow path. 

“Corporate legal departments deal with anywhere between 500 and 10,000 nondisclosure agreements a year – putting a significant strain on contract professionals who are struggling with increasing amounts of work. With Automate NDA, we’re taking these high-volume, relatively low-risk contracts and reducing the time spent on them by 70%,” said Nick Whitehouse, General Manager of the Onit AI Center of Excellence. 

The Challenges of NDAs

NDAs are the highest-volume contracts handled by businesses today. The average cost to draft, review, negotiate and file a single NDA is between $114 and $4561 – an expensive and time-consuming endeavor without automation.

NDAs are often the most frequent touchpoints between the legal department and the broader organization but are regularly considered low-value work. This unfortunate dynamic serves as a great source of frustration and friction in organizations, with the legal department often finding itself in a lose-lose situation.
