Letter From President and CEO

Legal and professional services organizations face an era of tumultuous change with continuous new developments in the economy, financial markets and government regulations. Weathering these dramatic pendulum swings requires the ability to quickly adapt to new realities.

Despite this volatility, Elite continues to move ahead in our commitment to provide professional services organizations with innovative financial and practice management solutions that help them drive greater efficiencies, growth and profits. Our history and track record of being able to deliver on this promise has earned Elite the leading position in the legal software industry.

Turning toward the future, we anticipate a watershed year for the Elite 3E platform. A few dozen firms will be up and running live on the platform and 3E now appeals to the mainstream professional services firm, not just the technical savvy or early adopters. Firms are becoming educated about the benefits and opportunities that 3E can bring to them – especially in such a challenging climate. Organizations will place a greater emphasis on sharpening their strategic focus, driving efficiency and profitability and adopting disciplined business processes – needs which 3E can help fulfill better than any other platform.

We also expect to have strong interest and demand from existing clients for the many new features and enhancements we are building into upcoming new releases of Elite Enterprise and ProLaw. The comprehensive and diverse range of capabilities offered within the Elite and ProLaw product families allow us to deliver solutions to legal and professional services organizations that help them protect their profitability and viability while honing their core competitive advantage.

Elite forms partnerships with industry leaders to leverage our combined expertise and innovation for the benefit of our clients. Our partner network allows fellow world-class providers to engage in a more productive relationship with Elite.

Our success is driven by a tremendously talented team and backed by the extensive resources of Thomson Reuters. As a vital component of a $12 billion company with over 50,000 employees in 93 countries and a vast knowledge base, we offer close ties to products and services offered by West, the most trusted name in legal information.

Most companies aim to satisfy their customers. Some go farther, dedicating themselves to their customers’ success. A few define success as bringing to the world innovations that make a lasting difference. A handful build trusted, long-term relationships with their employees, partners and their industries at large.

I’m proud that Elite has chosen to live at the intersection of these values. This choice has enabled our company to prosper, to provide rewarding careers, and to be an innovative and trusted partner for many of the world’s most successful professional services organizations.

We thank you for your loyal support and look forward to being your long-term partner.
