The use of ADERANT Expert has enabled Miller Canfield to improve the accuracy and detail of its profitability analysis. Whereas previously the firm was only able to track the profitability of its various practice groups, ADERANT's solution enabled it to analyze its profitability down to the most detailed level of timekeeper and matter. This level of detail allows Miller Canfield to truly understand its operations and make informed decisions on how to optimize performance throughout the firm.
In addition to having access to more detailed profitability information, Miller Canfield can perform profitability analysis on a much more frequent basis. "Analyzing profitability used to take so much time that we could only do it twice a year. Now we do it every month," remarked Thimm. "With ADERANT Expert what used to take our finance group weeks of painstaking effort can now be completed in just a matter of a few days."
