I sound far too much like a 3E sales guy here, but having looked closely at 3E recently I'd have to say your comments here are wrong. Though it does what most PMS's do - it does them much better, plus quite a few things that other systems don't currently do, and if deployed well there's a good deal to be gained. You're right, it's not completely 'new' but you wouldn't want it to be. There's only so much you can do to 'revolutionise' the PMS space. It's software to run a law firm after all, so has some pretty standard requirements. I think the guys at Elite should be applauded for taking the risk of going as far as they have, and building something new, and with Aderant's talk of their new system just around the corner (again) it seems they've managed to spur on a little innovation in an industry that has been lacking it for some time.
