ATLANTA -- ADERANT, a global provider of business and financial management software for professional services organizations, today announced Macleod Dixon LLP, a major international law firm based in Canada, has selected ADERANT to manage its diverse global business operations. With complex business requirements around the globe, Macleod Dixon LLP was looking for integrated front and back office solutions to meet their ever-changing business needs.

"Our Software Review Team undertook an intensive and comprehensive five-month evaluation of several leading vendors after our existing vendor was acquired by a large multi-national organization," said Karen Chown, Chief Administrative Officer at Macleod Dixon. "We selected ADERANT's CMS.Net as the best solution for our international operational requirements. The ADERANT solution gave us superior flexibility for reporting and customization, primarily due to their Microsoft .NET technology platform."

"It is a theme we see virtually everyday--legal firms of all sizes around the world are faced with stiffer competition and the need to react faster than ever before to client demands," stated Michael J. Simmons, CEO of ADERANT. "Our highly adaptive and customizable business solutions allow firms to design their applications to meet their needs today and effectively manage the firm for profitable growth.

Macleod Dixon LLP was faced with some very unique business challenges. They employ a highly distributed billing model and handle most financial transactions electronically with a minimal amount of paper. These highly evolved business practices create competitive advantages in the marketplace. ADERANT understood these issues and proved to be flexible and supportive in developing products to meet these business requirements.
