In addition leading Australian law firm Piper Alderman, the legal department of the Dutch Automobile Association and leading Dutch accounting firm Wallast selected ADERANT's market leading CMS.Net solution.

Along with these new business wins during the last quarter of 2004, many long standing ADERANT customers committed their long term future to the company with significant purchases of additional CMS.Net licenses and new modules, including the Front Office Browser and the Business Intelligence Suite.

"We believe ADERANT's CMS.Net offers the best technology architecture for our firm, allowing us to build creative solutions that meet the ever-changing needs of our firm. We have found the ADERANT team to be receptive to new and progressive approaches in law firm business practices and their people are clearly committed to working with us in a partnership relationship to find the right solution."

"Professional firms are responding to an increasingly challenging market environment characterized by stiffer competition and greater pressures on profits," said Michael J. Simmons, CEO of ADERANT. "Proven technology and a customization framework give firms what they need - the flexibility to adapt their business processes easily to meet changing business requirements. As a result, they can improve both the quality and the speed of their decision-making to create a more predicative and profitable business."

"We chose CMS.Net from ADERANT after a six month evaluation of four suppliers," said Carolyn Hurley, Thompsons Solicitors CFO. "We were looking for a product that was able to provide a solution for our very unique and complex requirements. Both the product and company stood out as being the right choice for us."
