Press Releases
March 3, 2006
RainMaker Software, announced that Rochester,
New York law firm of Harter Secrest & Emery LLP has chosen RainMaker Platinum software for
integrated financial management, practice management, and business intelligence reporting and
analysis. The firm, with nearly 150 professionals needed a solution that offered financial
reporting, profitability analysis and marketing along with robust billing and accounting features
in a single integrated suite that could replace multiple disparate applications already installed in
the firm. RainMaker’s Platinum product, powered by Microsoft® .NET technology, met this need
and will consolidate the financial and practice management functions, along with business
intelligence reporting and analysis, into a single application.
“As firm CFO, reporting tools that would enable me to easily analyze the long and short term
performance and profitability of departments within the firm were of utmost importance to me,”
expressed David Higgins. “With our former system, in order to do any kind of analysis, we had to
run several reports, and then manually re-key them into a Microsoft® Excel spreadsheet. This
took a considerable amount of time and effort. RainMaker’s Business Intelligence will allow us
to easily assemble profitability reports and analyze year-over-year trends from several
perspectives. The software’s automatic output to Excel, with no re-keying, will save us time and
further increase our flexibility.”
“When we initially met with RainMaker, we expressed to them that we were looking for a
customizable, technologically-superior system,” said Harter Secrest’s controller, Julie Sorrells.
“After investigating the more expensive time and billing software providers, we realized that
RainMaker not only offered a ‘superior’ integrated accounting system, its offerings outweighed
anything out there, all for a lesser cost.”
RainMaker President Jim Hammond stated, “We are very pleased to partner with Harter Secrest,
a high-profile, forward-thinking firm. We are also pleased that this firm recognizes that
RainMaker is not only a value, especially in comparison to the competition, but also that it truly
is the best legal enterprise software on the market. I am sure that the firm will recognize a return
on their investment in a relatively short timeframe.”
