ADERANT Announces Web Publisher 6.3 to Give Professional Services Firms Rapid, Secure Distribution of Business and Financial Data.

ATLANTA -- Web Publisher Delivers Information to Decision Makers When and Where They Need It, Enabling Today's Mobile, Distributed Professionals to Work Smarter

ADERANT, a global provider of business and financial management software for professional services organizations, today announced the release of Web Publisher 6.3. A stand-alone component of ADERANT's Business Intelligence suite, Web Publisher is a comprehensive, web-based reporting engine that delivers business and financial data to decision makers throughout a firm, giving professionals relevant, timely information to better manage and grow their business.

Built on industry standard Microsoft .NET technology, Web Publisher is a pure browser-based application that gives managers, partners, timekeepers and other decision-makers easy access to critical firm data when and where they need it. Reports can be viewed via Microsoft Outlook, intranets, extranets and portals, meeting the needs of today's increasingly mobile professionals. Getting up-to-date reports on profitability, revenue, work in progress (WIP), receivables, hours billed and other key performance indicators gives professionals who are in or out of the office the information they need make prudent business decisions for the firm.

"The success of a firm today relies not just on the quality of service and expertise of its partners and attorneys, but also on the ability of the firm to quickly access and analyze critical information about firm performance," said Don Howren, ADERANT senior vice president of global marketing. "Web Publisher pushes actionable data to decision makers wherever they are--in the office, at a client site or on the road--giving them a solid foundation on which to base decisions about their book of business."

The strategic advantage of Web Publisher is its ability to empower firms to share information. No longer do partners have to wait until month- or even year-end to get comprehensive reports on firm results. Reports can now be created on demand or on a pre-defined schedule. Once created, reports can be viewed anytime, shared, forwarded or automatically sent to a subscription group. A robust security model ensures that users are able to view only information they are authorized to access. Rather than sending a massive report to everyone and hoping they will find the information relevant to them, users can now create a master report and have just those pages applicable to each member sent directly to them, dramatically streamlining the entire information sharing process.

Web Publisher works with all the leading Practice Management Systems including CMS.Net, Javelan and others, enabling firms to implement a comprehensive, intuitive reporting package supporting all of their enterprise data sources. In addition, Elite customers who have implemented the ADERANT Business Intelligence suite will receive the full benefit of the Web Publisher feature set. Web Publisher fully supports the CMS.Net reporting engine and is tightly integrated with ADERANT Business Intelligence, giving existing ADERANT clients additional benefits. By pulling data from other enterprise applications, such as payroll and human resources, Web Publisher delivers complete reports that provide a true picture of a firm's financial status.

Because it is a web-based application, Web Publisher can be implemented quickly, with no software installation required on workstations. This gives firms a low total cost of ownership, reduces training costs and speeds adoption throughout a firm. Users can view reports in a variety of formats including PDF, HTML, XML, Excel, Access, RTF, TIFF and more. Microsoft Excel users can leverage the full functionality of Excel when viewing Web Publisher reports, enabling financial analysts and power users to further analyze firm metrics.

Web Publisher 6.3 is currently available and is part of ADERANT's complete Business Intelligence solution featuring tools for profitability analysis, pricing, business planning and budgeting, as well as OLAP analysis. ADERANT Business Intelligence software is helping more than 60 global law and professional services firms maximize their performance.
