Complexity Doesn't Have to Mean Chaos

Legacy systems and point solutions weren't built for firms running dozens of entities, currencies, and jurisdictions at once. At that scale, disconnected data creates friction that compounds as the firm grows, showing up everywhere finance touches.

"We've been able to simplify parts of our process, improve efficiency across our financial workflows, and get more value out of the platform in a shorter period of time."

One System of Action for Every Financial Workflow

Most firms run these five functions as separate systems, creating friction across the work-to-cash cycle. 3E connects them into one unified platform, purpose-built for firms operating on an enterprise scale.

3E General Ledger: The Financial Core

Multi-entity, multi-currency operations in one configurable ledger.

  • Consolidate across entities and currencies without reconciling between systems
  • Shave real days off month-end close
ROICalc

3E Proforma: Smarter Billing Before Invoices Go Out

AI-assisted proforma and review built for complex firms, powered by Elite Intelligence.

  • Distribute proformas to thousands of timekeepers in hours, not days
  • Catch billing-guideline issues before invoices go out, protecting realization
Elite-AILPCTA

3E Budgeting: From Reactive Tracking to Proactive Planning

Dynamic, live data pulled automatically, so forecasts reflect reality.

  • Build across matters, departments, practice groups, entities, and currencies
  • Model the profitability impact of a decision before it's made

3E Accounts Payable: Pay Faster, Control Better

Automated scheduling, validation, and approvals — zero paperwork.

  • Catch payment errors before money moves
  • Keep a clean, real-time audit trail with no separate reconciliation at close
EBH-Validate-Hero

3E Reporting: The Answers Leaders Need

Real-time dashboards drill down to the client, matter, and fee-earner level.

  • See profitability at any level as the data changes
  • Spot a realization slide while it's still fixable, not at quarter-end

Less leakage. More revenue.

Firms with real-time visibility into their financial data don't just report on leakage — they stop it. Data Connect delivers governed, near real-time 3E data directly into Microsoft Fabric. Less assembling.

The Necessary Foundation for AI Modernization

Nearly 50% of firms say lack of integration is the biggest barrier to AI ROI. Data Connect removes that barrier, so every agent, Copilot, and automation workflow runs on data it can trust.

One Source of Truth

Most firms run financial operations across 4 or more systems. Data Connect puts 3E financial data inside Fabric alongside CRM, HR, billing, and operational data — so every team is working from the same numbers

Decisions on Current Data, Not Last Week's

With governed 3E data continuously available in Fabric, leadership can answer questions about profitability, leakage, staffing, and collections as work happens — not days later. When data is current, leakage patterns surface before they become write-offs.

No Pipelines to Build. No Reconciliation to Run.

Data Connect manages infrastructure, security, governance, and updates — delivering near real-time 3E data without custom engineering or ongoing maintenance overhead.

TRUST

Become AI-ready

AI doesn't fail because of the model. It fails because of the data. Every agent or automated workflow your firm deploys needs clean, unified, governed data to function reliably. Data Connect is that foundation, and it’s already working inside Fabric.

SPEED

Enable Decisions that Drive Growth

The most important questions your firm needs to answer aren't in any dashboard. When determining where to invest and what drives growth, you need near real-time data to make the judgement call. With Data Connect, those questions finally have answers. That's the difference between reporting on what happened and deciding what to do next. Firms that answer those questions in real time recover revenue that fragmented systems let slip.

Operational Efficiency

Stop Reconciling, Start Analyzing

Finance teams spend too much time on manual data gathering and report prep instead of strategic analysis. Data Connect eliminates that by delivering clean, governed 3E data automatically so your team can focus on what actually moves the firm forward.

Revenue Recovery

Stop Revenue Leakage as It Happens

Firms with real-time access to unified financial data don't just report on leakage after the fact — they catch it as it happens. With 3E data continuously available alongside billing and collections data in Fabric, your firm can identify patterns in write-downs, discounts, and realization gaps before they become permanent losses.

Governed 3E Data, Delivered Into Fabric

Firms on 3E Cloud have access to their data — the challenge is getting it into analytics, reporting, and AI tools without rebuilding pipelines or consolidating into another system. Data Connect provides that delivery, directly into Microsoft Fabric, continuously and securely.

Your Firm Controls How the Data Gets Used

Once 3E data is inside Fabric, your teams can use it across reporting, workflows, automation, and AI without being limited by vendor architecture or asking anyone for permission.

Enabling Automation and AI at Scale

A unified, governed data layer isn't just useful for reporting — it’s what makes automation, AI, and real-time decision-making possible. With 3E data flowing continuously into Fabric, firms can automate end-to-end processes, deploy agentic AI, and scale without rebuilding the infrastructure underneath it.

Don't Just Connect Point Solutions. See Your Whole Revenue Cycle.

Less reconciliation, one source of truth, all embedded in 3E — the preferred solution, complete with embedded AI, for the work-to-cash needs of leading firms worldwide.
