ADERANT Introduces ADERANT Expert Applications

ADERANT, a provider of business management software for professional services organisations, has rolled out the Expert Framework, a new technology architecture for the company’s business management solution suite, ADERANT Expert. Expert Framework leverages Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 technologies to provide ADERANT with a way to develop visually rich business applications and services.

“Expert Framework represents the foundation for all future ADERANT Expert development efforts,” said Michael Kohlsdorf, President and Chief Executive Officer for ADERANT. “Since Expert Framework will power the next generation of ADERANT Expert applications, we are taking a unique approach to its development. We are working closely with our clients to ensure Expert Framework not only meets their needs today, but that it can also meet their future needs. Instead of developing our own proprietary tools, we are taking full advantage of new industry standard development tools, such as Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0. The result is that Expert Framework will benefit our clients for years to come.”

To ensure the new technology foundation for ADERANT Expert meets the needs of law firms and other professional services organisations, ADERANT has created a special technology adoption program for Expert Framework. ADERANT is working closely with a select group of clients and partners and is using their feedback to shape the development of Expert Framework.

“Our participation in the Expert Framework technology adoption program is giving us insight into ADERANT’s future development efforts as well as allowing us to provide them with input on what we feel are the needs of large, international law firms,” said Swen Nielsen, Financials Systems Manager for Squire, Sanders & Dempsey L.L.P. “We are very eager to begin exploring Expert Framework, especially its embedded workflow components.”

Other ADERANT clients participating in Expert Framework’s technology adoption program echoed this view, including Jorge Ramon, Senior Software Engineer for Greenberg Traurig: “This program gives us a unique opportunity to actively participate in the direction of Expert Framework and ensure that our views and opinions have a positive impact on the evolution of ADERANT’s products.
