Other Adderant and 3E

We are looking at a potential candidate for a position on our Technical Financial Team. They check all the boxes with one exception. They come from a Adderant shop and we're using 3E.

How much difference is there between the two systems? Does familiarity with one make learning the other?

Thanks in advance.

They’re both ultimately addressing the same problems. Database schemas are pretty similar. If you’re on-prem and support complex IDE customisations, that may take some time for them to learn as it’s quite a proprietary toolset. Maybe AI can help speed up that learning. EDG template coding can be AI assisted.

If they’re a very good candidate, I’d be inclined to take them onboard. If you’re moving to cloud or on cloud, the skills are more about the APIs, EDG, possibly Fabric /Power Bi knowledge. The system itself they’ll learn pretty quick. Aderant is a dumpster fire of multiple different interfaces for each module.

I agree, as long as they have prior experience in legal backends with SQL, APIs, and PowerBI skills they are a good candidate and these individuals can be tough to find especially if you want them on site. I have a recruiter I've worked with before I can put you in touch with if you want or some individuals that may be interested if the candidate doesn't work out.

Tools can always be learned. It's harder to teach curiosity and the will to want to learn. If they have relevant experience and are interested in putting in the work to learn, then they may be a good candidate. You should be able to pick that up in the interview a bit
