    Accelo
    Accelo is a system that can do it all. It's extremely sophisticated. Depending on the sophistication of your organization, or specifically the abilities of the people you put in charge of the implementation, it can almost be too sophisticated. It all just depends on your situation. The more you use it, the more data you give it, the more you'll be able to see and do. It's incredibly powerful. But it's definitely not a tool that would be appropriate for smaller boutique type organizations that have only basic needs.

    It's great for general research, including case law and secondary sources. I find that it's very comprehensive.

    Support Rating
    Accelo
    From the beginning the Accelo team has been very invested in ensuring our success and overall happiness with the platform. The initial implementation specialists and trainers did a fairly good job of learning our company and needs, and tried to tailor the trainings accordingly. However, once we made the formal switch to the platform, meaning we no longer were using our legacy systems, we found that we had a lot of questions....and a lot of ideas and recommendations. The support team is extremely responsive and seemingly happy to receive our continual feedback. And if we encounter an issue that seems to be a system issue, they work diligently to fix it (we've actually had an engineer join a call with us to learn of the issue - and subsequently fix it)

    Accelo
    Accelo doesn't really exceed any competitors in any one area of their product, but in 2015 when we made the move this was the best option that included all the tools we wanted. However, user adoption was low in some areas due to the UI, so we scaled back Accelo and added other tools.

    It does a better job of aggregating information than Westlaw. And, it has a better secondary source library.

The forecasting model is enhanced by adding Effort forecasting that works based on the tasks, resources assigned, and duration estimated at the task level. The data is presented for different time periods (day/week/month/year).Screenshot of PM can define different costs and sales prices based on resources and working experience for the same role.Screenshot of Project managers can define the most frequently used Project and Project tasks to the project resources.
