Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney PC Streamlines Talent Management with vi by Aderant
For law firms, talent is everything. But behind every successful attorney is an intricate ecosystem of recruiting, onboarding, evaluations, and people management that keeps the firm operating at its highest level. For Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney PC, a national law firm headquartered in Pittsburgh with offices across the United States, ensuring those processes run smoothly has become a critical business priority.
To support that mission, Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney turned to vi by Aderant, leveraging the platform to modernize and simplify its evaluation and talent management processes across both attorneys and business professionals.
A Need for Simplicity in a Complex HR Environment
Like many law firms, Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney faced the challenge of managing multiple disconnected HR and talent systems. According to Dina Vickers, manager of HRIS/HR operations at Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney, the firm had historically relied on different platforms for payroll, HRIS, recruiting, and evaluations.
While the firm consolidated several functions into UKG for payroll, HR, timekeeping, recruiting, and onboarding, there remained a gap when it came to the specialized evaluation and talent management needs of a legal organization. The firm needed a platform capable of supporting the nuanced requirements of both legal and non-legal evaluations without forcing HR teams into cumbersome workarounds.
Why Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney Chose vi by Aderant
Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney had already been familiar with the Aderant ecosystem, having used the legacy vi Desktop platform for years. When the opportunity arose to upgrade to vi by Aderant, the firm evaluated competing solutions, including capabilities available within its existing HRIS platform.
Unlike broader HR platforms that required customization and operational workarounds, vi by Aderant delivered the specialized workflows the firm needed out of the box for both attorneys and business professionals.
A Seamless Six-Week Implementation
Technology implementations in large organizations are rarely simple, particularly within law firms where workflows are highly specialized, and operational continuity is critical.
But for Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney, the deployment experience with vi by Aderant exceeded expectations.
Beyond the implementation itself, Vickers emphasized the responsiveness of the Aderant support organization as one of the platform’s most valuable differentiators.
Driving Better Experiences Across the Employee Lifecycle
For Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney, talent management extends far beyond evaluations. The firm takes a holistic approach to employee experience, from a candidate’s first interaction with a job posting to long-term career growth within the organization. By consolidating critical evaluation and talent workflows into vi by Aderant, the firm has created a more connected, efficient, and consistent experience for employees across the organization.
More than an evaluation platform, vi by Aderant has become an important part of Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney’s broader talent management strategy. By streamlining evaluations, improving operational efficiency, and delivering responsive support, the platform has enabled the HR team to focus on creating exceptional experiences for the people who power the firm.
