Case Study: Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney achieves streamlined, time-saving budgeting and forecasting with Thomson Reuters Elite xcelerate

A Streamlined Upgrade to xcelerate Budgeting and Forecasting

Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney, a national law firm with nearly 500 lawyers across 19 U.S. offices, needed a reliable budgeting and forecasting solution that would integrate with its existing Enterprise system and support a future move to 3E. The firm’s prior tool suffered disruptive delays and crashes, and decision-makers wanted a seamless way to preserve key templates and access accurate financial data without heavy reliance on support teams.

Working with long-time partner OLAP Vision, the firm implemented xcelerate Budgeting and Forecasting — an Excel- and web-based solution with certified Enterprise/3E integration. After a one-hour training, staff could drill down to journal-level data, run consolidated templates and dashboards, and generate reports much faster; the result was fewer manual requests, reduced year-over-year maintenance, and significant time savings that freed the finance team to focus on higher‑value work.
