Elite 3E’s Advanced Platform Capabilities Win Over Law Firms Worldwide
Thomson Elite introduces Version 2.0 as 3E continues to gain market traction
LOS ANGELES, September 19, 2006 – Law firms across three continents have adopted Elite® 3E as their next-generation financial and practice management software. As the client list continues to grow, Thomson Elite maintains its aggressive development of 3E by introducing v.2.0. Thomson Elite is part of The Thomson Corporation (NYSE: TOC; TSX: TOC) and a worldwide provider of integrated practice and financial management systems for professional services firms.
“3E’s sophisticated capabilities and flexible platform set the new standard in advanced technology that can be deployed by legal and professional services firms to improve their efficiency and competitiveness,” said Dan Tacone, senior vice president, Thomson Elite. “Solving the complexities of conducting business on a global scale is a hallmark of 3E. It’s exciting to see both new clients and longtime Elite Enterprise users leading the way in adoption of this innovative platform.”
Al Tamimi & Co., a leading United Arab Emirates corporate law firm, recently selected 3E following a rigorous competitive review process. With a diverse client base ranging from international banks, trading establishments, charity organizations and multinational corporations, the firm needed a flexible system that would extract specific data for strategic planning and other activities.
“We are very impressed with Elite 3E for both the investment and thought that has gone into its development,” said John Matthews, the firm’s financial manager. “We are confident that it is the right solution and provides the flexibility needed for a practice of our range and ambition.”
3E Collections Offers New Action Calendar and Control Panel
Elite 3E’s new Action Calendar conveniently displays the next assignment for a specific collections staff member in an easy-to-read calendar format. The Control Panel provides collections managers unlimited flexibility in determining how overdue invoices can be aggregated, assigned, scheduled and collected.
“With new features that provide actionable data and desktop flexibility, Elite 3E is providing collections managers with the ability to improve collections proficiency,” said Jesus Ortiz, chief technology officer, Thomson Elite.
Additional new v.2.0 features include the following:
- A smart tag feature that allows users working in Microsoft Word documents to quickly navigate to the appropriate 3E screen by using recognized terms that are already set up in 3E (such as client or matter name).
- Built-in auditing tools that can be turned on, as needed, to monitor 3E activities, such as timekeeping and client or matter contact changes.
- Data-level security that allows record owners to hide sensitive matter files from designated users to avoid conflict of interest.
