Australian Law Firm Macpherson Kelley Completes Cloud Journey with 3E
Leading Australian law firm Macpherson Kelley has taken the final step on its migration to the cloud by selecting 3E®, the market-leading financial and practice management solution from Elite.
Founded in 1905, Macpherson Kelley is a full-service commercial law firm with offices in Brisbane, Dandenong, Melbourne, and Sydney. The firm has more than 140 lawyers across 20 different legal areas and a total team of 250, with a firm-wide focus on client experience and providing “law fit for business.” The firm is also affiliated with Multilaw and the Pacific Legal Network, two major international legal networks.
Macpherson Kelley has reached the final step in its wider transition into the cloud across the firm, a journey it began in 2019. A 3E on-prem customer since 2010 the firm will now gain even greater efficiencies by moving to the cloud-native version of 3E, as well as benefit from increased flexibility, robust capabilities, and faster upgrades and access to new functionality. The firm will be able to remove or automate manual processes, gain real-time insights, and make use of advanced analytics to improve efficiency and decision-making, all while keeping most of their existing 3E customizations as part of the implementation.
Going forward, Macpherson Kelley will be supported by a fully managed service provided by Elite, powered by the Microsoft® Azure® platform and offering cloud confidence with nearly unlimited scale, 24/7 monitoring, and advanced security that is unmatched in the industry.
“The move to the cloud version of 3E, and being a 100% cloud-based organization, will enable us to be more agile as the firm grows and enable us to focus on more business enabling initiatives versus operational activities,” said Andrew Mitchell, Chief Information Office at Macpherson Kelley. “We have used 3E for years, and it was the obvious choice to provide a robust, open, cloud-based platform while keeping most of our existing customizations. Making the transition to 3E in the cloud also won’t require a substantial change management program, given our familiarity with the platform, which is a huge bonus.”
