Three years in, Elite signs Brodies as first UK Business Development Premier client
Three years after launch, Thomson Reuters Elite has signed its first UK client to Business Development Premier (BDP), its integral CRM solution built on Microsoft Dynamics.
Brodies, Scotland’s largest independent law firm, signed up to BDP after a competitive pitch and has now gone live.
The UK top 60 firm is said to have wanted a solution that automates data input and management processes and that integrates with its Elite financial management system, with across-the-firm adoption and ease of use also key factors.
BDP was launched in 2013 to combine CRM and Enterprise Relationship Management capabilities with data from Thomson Reuters and competitive intelligence from Monitor Suite, in addition to Elite’s suite of products.
Intended as a challenger to CRM market leader LexisNexis InterAction, BDP has so far failed to gain traction, although it is understood that there are other UK signings in the pipeline.
In May, Boston-headquartered law firm Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo, an Elite Enterprise practice management system client that plans to transition to Elite 3E, went live on BDP.
In August, Elite announced the release of Business Development Premier 2016.2, which incorporates improved analytics capability.
