Capital Law – PMS Selection
Project type: PMS Selection
As part of an on-going IT renewal program and its Envision PMS going ‘end of life’, Capital Law looked towards a new ‘best of breed’ approach. Having already deployed iManage as a dedicated DMS, it engaged Baskerville Drummond to advise on its new PMS – effectively a binary choice between Aderant and Elite 3E.
Scope
As part of an on-going IT renewal program and its Envision PMS going ‘end of life’, Capital Law looked towards a new ‘best of breed’ approach. Having already deployed iManage as a dedicated DMS, it engaged Baskerville Drummond to advise on its new PMS – effectively a binary choice between Aderant and Elite 3E.
However, after early discovery sessions on needs and wants and users’ working practices and day-to-day experience, Baskerville Drummond advised Capital to ‘reset’ its selection project.
The main driver for this was that there was no real evidence that ‘best of breed’ would align better with the firm’s requirements. Indeed, as long as the chosen PMS integrated with iManage, there was a far stronger rationale for keeping things simple. Something well-rounded, geared for SMEs, straightforward to deploy and good value, with first-rate support, that was argued for as a far more logical, prudent choice.

“Having started my role at Capital mid-process, I had no prior experience of practice management systems. My fears relating to my lack of knowledge in this area were quickly allayed by the level of in-depth knowledge and the pragmatic approach David displayed as part of the selection process. This gave me comfort that we would select a system that could drive our business forward and meet its future growth plans.
We are looking forward to continuing our relationship with David acting in an advisory capacity, as we move closer to the go-live date. If you need high level assistance and strategic guidance on legal technology projects, then I would not hesitate to recommend him.”
