The details

Why teams automate Aderant

Aderant powers the financial backbone of large and midsize firms. Caddi AI Agents handle the surrounding motion — time capture, prebill review, receipt reconciliation — so finance teams stop living in spreadsheets.

Aderant is configured precisely for each firm, which is why off-the-shelf integrations break. Caddi learns your team's exact clicks and runs them deterministically — across Aderant, the DMS, and email.

Questions about automating Aderant

Does Caddi have a real Aderant integration?

Yes. Caddi runs verified code against Aderant's official APIs (and uses a secure, audited browser session when an API isn't available). Every automation Caddi builds for Aderant is reviewed before it runs in production.

Do I need engineering help to automate Aderant with Caddi?

No. You demonstrate the workflow, clicking through Aderant the way you normally would, and Caddi turns it into a verified, repeatable automation. No code, no IT ticket, no Zapier-style wiring.

Is my Aderant data safe?

Caddi is SOC 2 attested. Our AI watches and builds the automation; once generated, it executes as deterministic code against Aderant, the same steps on every run, and any model step inside a run is scoped, logged, and reviewable.

Can Caddi connect Aderant to the rest of my stack?

That's the point. Most Caddi automations span 3-6 tools. For example: pulling data out of an email, updating Aderant, filing a document in cloud storage, and posting a confirmation in Slack or Teams. Every tool on the integrations page is fair game.

How do I find what to automate in Aderant?

Caddi Discover reads the activity in the tools you connect, read only, and ranks the repeated work worth automating with the evidence behind each finding. Unlike process mining, it does not stop at the insight: the person who does the work builds the automation in Caddi Automate, and Govern keeps every run and decision on the record.
