Helsinki-based Hannes Snellman Deploys ELITE 3E®

LOS ANGELES – Helsinki, Finland-based Hannes Snellman has implemented ELITE 3E® as the platform for its new financial management system. Elite, part of Thomson Reuters, is a worldwide provider of integrated practice and financial management systems for professional services firms.

With regional headquarters in St. Petersburg and Moscow, as well as an office in Stockholm, Sweden, Hannes Snellman is an international firm with more than 100 lawyers.

“The setup requirements for Hannes Snellman were challenging,” says Steve Buege, president and CEO, Elite. “They needed configurations to support multi-currency, multi-unit and time and costs narratives in four languages (English, Swedish, Finnish and Russian). This was all met by standard 3E functionality configured to the firm’s precise needs.”

Implementation of 3E started in the Swedish office of the firm. The transition to live operations firm-wide ended on May 4.

Editor’s note: Implementations of ELITE 3E are ongoing around the world, with numerous firms scheduled to be running on the platform soon. Visit http://www.elite.com/newspress/ to get the most current information on the latest firms to purchase and implement ELITE 3E.
