On the Path to Paperless, Henry & Horne Adopts ProSystem fx Document

“Total Management Tool” and Integration with Other CCH Solutions Made Document Clear Choice for Leading Firm

(RIVERWOODS, ILL., May 10, 2006) – Henry & Horne, LLP, a 140-person Arizona-based accounting and business advisory firm that has followed a strategic plan for growth since its founding in 1957 has chosen ProSystem fx Document from CCH, a Wolters Kluwer business as a key technology to transform their workflows and client relationships. The award-winning ProSystem fx Document is a complete management solution built specifically for today’s CPA firm and part of the ProSystem fx Office suite from CCH, a leading provider of tax and accounting information, software and services (CCHGroup.com).

Mark Eberle, managing partner of Henry & Horne, recalls when firm members began to hear about the benefits of the paperless office several years ago. When they decided to explore what a document management system could do for their own operations, ProSystem fx Document was put on the list of solutions to be evaluated.

“What initially attracted us was the fact that Document was developed by accountants for accountants,” Eberle said. “That made it stand out from much of its competition.”

Henry & Horne’s positive experience with CCH’s ProSystem fx Engagement, the industry’s leading paperless engagement tool, was another point in Document’s favor.

“We found that Engagement saved professionals time and led to more consistent documentation in our attest work,” Eberle observed.

Solution Delivers Solid Benefits

As they scrutinized ProSystem fx Document and its competitors, a Henry & Horne team identified the benefits that Document would deliver to the firm.

“We needed a total management tool rather than just a document storage and retention system, and we needed a system that would control both native and scanned documents,” said Eberle. “Document will finally give us a way to control electronic documents from both a tracking and retention perspective. Add to that the fact that we knew Document would assist us in completing our transition to a more paperless environment, which is a major step forward for our firm, and the decision was clear.”

Henry & Horne also believed that ProSystem fx Document’s current integration with other CCH products and proposed future integration would improve staff efficiencies.

“Although we do not consider ourselves to be a bleeding-edge firm,” Eberle said, “we are focused on giving our staff the technology tools they need to perform their tasks with as much ease as possible.”

Henry & Horne has been recognized as one of the “Best Companies to Work for in the Valley of the Sun” by the Arizona Business Journal for the past three years.

The Importance of Partnership

While ProSystem fx Document will keep the firm on the cutting edge of technology, it will also reinforce a traditional role that Henry & Horne has carefully cultivated as a trusted advisor to its clientele of closely-held businesses and wealthy individuals.

“We view ourselves as genuine partners with our clients – becoming intimately knowledgeable about their needs and goals and doing our very best to ensure their success. Document’s Client Portal capabilities will definitely assist us in fulfilling that vision,” Eberle said.

“Partnership also describes CCH’s relationship with Henry & Horne,” Eberle added. “In our evaluation phase, CCH made sure that our every question was answered, our every concern was addressed and that we were completely comfortable with our decision. Now that we’re beginning the implementation phase of Document, we feel confident CCH will stay with us, keeping us aware of best practices and providing all the training and support we need,” Eberle noted.

“CCH is pleased to partner with Henry & Horne to help the firm realize new process improvements with ProSystem fx Document,” said CCH Product Manager Stuart Gill. “We’re excited about the opportunities ahead for the firm as they implement CCH’s integrated solutions to enhance productivity and profitability.”
