- Shearman & Sterling moves firm practice management to 3E
Shearman & Sterling has been on a journey to continue to add value to their clients and increase their firm productivity by moving their firm practice management functions to the cloud. When choosing a vendor it was important for the firm leadership to make sure the system architecture worked with their current structure, could scale up or down and had a partnership like Thomson Reuters to help build out the product to meet their needs. In addition, critical to making their decision to purchase 3E was the security and integration of internal and external data in order to make informed decisions.

Why Shearman & Sterling chose 3E
Better client service
(3E) allows our people not to focus maintaining multiple systems of record, but instead lets our people focus on how do we bring the best value to both the partnership and clients.

Increase profitability
3E data, blended with other system’s data, helps us understand how much it costs us to generate a document, for example. Then we can more accurately price alternative fee arrangements - that will lead to greater profitability.

Focus on productivity
The fact that 3E is built on Azure and Microsoft spends billions of dollars on security alone means I don't have to worry about the updates, the upgrades, or the security patching. We can focus on productivity.
