Elite’s Steve Buege at LegalTech

Steve Buege, president and CEO of Elite, is once again among the team of colleagues representing his business at LegalTech New York. And he’s spending much of his time talking to Elite customers, including law firms who have chosen or implemented 3E, Elite’s financial and practice management system.

He senses optimism, in general among the LegalTech attendees, but also for what Elite offers law firms.

“There’s a lot of interest in our platforms,” Buege said. “It just feels like a lot more momentum and a lot more enthusiasm for the new year coming off of a challenging 2009. We’ve got a lot of good news to share.”

Buege said 3E is hitting its stride and Elite is bringing about two clients live on the system every month. “The client experience is better than ever with new modules and new feature functionality. We feel like with a new release of 3E – alongside a new release coming for Enterprise – we’ve got a better opportunity than ever for our clients as we improve the client experience.”

Before joining Elite, Buege served as a senior vice president in several roles within West. So, because of his ties to West, we asked him for his impressions of WestlawNext, launched this week at LegalTech. In this video interview, Buege says the innovation that went into WestlawNext reminds him of the development and impact of 3E:

Steve Buege and Elite will hold the company’s annual User Conference this June in Miami. You can watch a preview video and register for the conference on the Elite Web site.
