Laurel's team is staffed with seasoned professionals who ensure data flows smoothly in both directions. Our experts maintain systems that work efficiently, minimizing downtime and maximizing value for your firm.

  • Proven Expertise: Our experts have 75 successful deployments to accounting billing systems in the last decade, equating to a reliable deployment every 1.6 months.

  • Scalable Solutions: Successfully implemented in firms housing 50 to over 3,000 timekeepers.

  • High Volume Handling: Capability to manage up to 5 million entries monthly outbound and hundreds of thousands of projects and engagements inbound (using deltas after initial application seeding).

Practical Setup with Stored Procedures

We initiate with stored procedures to define the exact data to be exchanged. This isn't just a theoretical approach; we bring with us ready examples of stored procedures for recording time cards in a table you prefer, allowing for real-time improvements during the setup.

In IT, we know things seldom work perfectly the first time. But by using this straightforward method, we aim to get as close to "right" in the initial go, avoiding unnecessary delays.

IRIS Practice Engine

With Laurel, capitalize on the IRIS Practice Engine's firm management features. We want to ensure you can enhance PE’s cloud-based workflows (whether they are monthly or continuous) from the start.

IRIS PE Stored Procedure Default: We use this procedure (see PE SP.SQL below) to ensure data flowing from Laurel is formatted appropriately and targeting the correct destination (table). It also allows us to understand all parameters to expect and map.

CCH Practice Management (On-Prem)

With Laurel, maintain the full potential of CCH Practice Management’s on-prem solutions, a staple in industry. We want to ensure these large and robust systems remain that way when faster and more enriched time data is sent into the system from the start.

CCH PM Stored Procedure Default: Coming Soon

CCH Axcess™️ Practice (Cloud)

With Laurel, continue to advance practice management with CCH Axcess Practice (Cloud). The shift to an API-driven interface is new and we want to ensure you can take advantage of Axcess’ cloud-based workflows from the start.

CCH Axcess Practice API Considerations: We will work with your team to ensure data flows smoothly from Laurel into CCH via their API (an API-API connector will be provided). Note: We are aware of the one-way limitations of data going into CCH APC.

TR Practice CS

With Laurel, keep the staple TR Practice CS being enhanced with better and higher fidelity time data. We want to ensure these large and robust systems remain that way as part of Laurel’s implementation and usage.

TR PCS Stored Procedure Default: We use this procedure (see Thompson CS SP.SQL below) to ensure data flowing from Laurel is formatted appropriately and targeting the correct destination (table). Note: Based on 2021.3.0 schema.


At Laurel, we leverage the same systems you already use, enabling us to implement solutions at a much faster pace. We want to focus our learning curve on ensuring the data you need is in the right place in the right way.
