This application is best suited for enterprise use cases. It interfaces with almost every other major platform at the enterprise level and is scalable to the nth degree. But that comes at a high price tag, given that it integrates with everything and is used relatively ubiquitously. Any recommendations that I would give on the platform would be based on enterprise applicability.

CCH Axcess was very comparable to Thomson Reuters. They are both large companies in their fields and have similar resources. We ultimately went with Thomson Reuters because we bundled with their other softwares for a better price and it makes sense to be with one company to deal with one customer support line.
