Case Study: Dykema Gossett PLLC achieves rapid, reliable document output and streamlined conflict reporting with Thomson Reuters Elite 3E Templates

Achieving Cutting Edge Output Performance With 3e Templates

Dykema, the largest law firm in San Antonio with about 125 lawyers and a broad national and international practice, faced recurring stability and performance problems with its document automation system (Document Studio). Slow output, incomplete or missing documents, and inability to handle growing data volumes hindered invoicing and conflict reporting and prompted the firm to seek a more reliable solution.

As an early beta partner, Dykema implemented Thomson Reuters Elite’s 3E Templates (formerly Design Gallery), collaborating to tailor features like a client-level, web-style conflict report and direct database queries. The new XML-based solution delivered immediate stability and dramatic speed improvements (documents that once took half an hour now take seconds; proforma runs reduced from all day to hours), simplified infrastructure running on two virtual servers, easier integration with third-party systems, and reduced resource overhead.
