The conversation with firm leaders has quickly changed. Firms committing to migrate today are building an operational foundation that will define their competitive position as AI moves into core financial workflows. Recent research from Elite and ALM documents what's driving the urgency: only 14% of senior law firm decision-makers can answer critical profitability questions in near real time, and 47% cite lack of system integration as their biggest barrier to realizing value from AI. The firms moving to Elite's cloud platform are closing that gap.
Among the 123 firms currently live on 3E Cloud, 88% are actively using 3E Time, more than 70% are using Data Insights, and more than 40% are using both 3E Proforma and eBillingHub. Elite cloud customers are reporting Days Sales Outstanding running 40% below the industry average. For firms using Elite Payments, invoice to payment takes 44 days versus a 79-day industry average, and total collection time of 80 days compared to 154 days for the average mid-sized firm. This is nearly a 50% reduction in the time between completing work and collecting payment.
"The conversation with firm leaders has quickly changed," said Mark Dorman, Chief Executive Officer, Elite. "Not many months ago, they were debating whether or not to move to the cloud. Now, it's about how fast they can get there and what they'll be able to do once they're live. Firms that have successfully completed the move are already seeing the return: faster collections, fewer disputed invoices, less rework across the revenue cycle. Real results pulling the rest of the market forward."
"The data is showing us that the firms achieving the best financial outcomes have taken the path toward connected systems first," said Elisabet Hardy, Chief Product Officer, Elite. "Cloud gives them the foundation that makes everything else possible: faster billing, better insight, and the ability to actually use AI where it matters. By the end of this year, more Elite customers will be in the cloud than on-premises. That's not a prediction anymore. It's where we are."
