Along with ADERANT Expert's core time and billing and financial management functionality, Phillips Lytle will also take advantage of the solution suite's advanced applications to improve information access and professional productivity. Phillips Lytle will implement ADERANT's Microsoft SharePoint-based solution, Expert Portal, Powered by Handshake Software, to provide its attorneys with a single location to access consolidated client information. The firm will also implement Expert Report Center to streamline and automate the creation and distribution of reports.

In addition to optimizing financial processes, the firm aims to gain significant benefits from using ADERANT Expert's integrated financial management and professional productivity applications. This will help streamline and automate firm processes while maintaining excellent client service levels. "Phillips Lytle offers a unique cross-disciplinary approach that enables us to tailor our services to meet each client's exact requirements. To fully leverage our resources across our seven regional offices, we needed an integrated solution that would allow all users in the firm to get a unified, client-centric view of all information relating to a client while enabling us to adopt modern electronic processes," said Brian H. Eckert, Director of Finance and Administration, Phillips Lytle. "ADERANT Expert was the only solution that met all of our needs and that is proven in the marketplace." |
"We are pleased to partner with such a prestigious firm as Phillips Lytle," said Michael Kohlsdorf, President and Chief Executive Officer for ADERANT. "The selection team conducted a very thorough vendor and product evaluation process and selected ADERANT Expert for its functional depth and breadth, technical architecture, and Microsoft-centric vision for the future."
Faster, More Informed Decision Making
One of the strategic challenges facing Phillips Lytle was providing their professionals with a single access point to all critical client- and matter-related information, regardless of the source business system. "This critical business objective will be achieved with the deployment of ADERANT's Microsoft SharePoint-based solution, Expert Portal, Powered by Handshake Software. We will significantly reduce the time and effort normally required to develop and deploy a portal," Eckert continued. "As a result we will improve decision making by providing timekeepers, managers, partners, and other key firm executives with the information they need which will ultimately improve client service levels/client satisfaction levels."
