Case Study: Denton Wilde Sapte achieves faster, more collaborative business development with Thomson Reuters Elite

Denton Wilde Sapte Selects Thomson Reuters Elite To Power Business Development Processes

Denton Wilde Sapte, an international law firm of 600+ lawyers across 14 offices, launched the EPIC (Experience and Pitch Information Centre) initiative to overhaul its business development processes. The firm needed a way to manage experience and tender information, automate credentials and proposals, integrate with legacy finance and document systems, and increase visibility across practice groups and geographies to break down siloed working.

DWS implemented Thomson Reuters Elite (Experience Manager and Proposal Generator) as the engine behind EPIC, integrated with its intranet and existing systems. The solution centralized content, enabled cross‑office collaboration and handovers across time zones, and cut first‑draft pitch time from about a day to hours (one pilot draft completed in two hours), while improving customization, transparency and firm‑wide awareness of work in progress.
