What viGlobal does

vi by Aderant, formerly viGlobal, is a privately held cloud-based SaaS provider of talent management software targeting professional services organizations, with law firms as the primary vertical. Founded in 2001 and operating as a product line under parent company Aderant, the company reports penetration of over 85% of AmLaw 100 firms and is headquartered in Toronto with US operations. The platform is delivered as an integrated suite of nine sub-branded modules — vi Recruit (applicant tracking), vi Integrate (new hire onboarding), vi Resource Allocation (workload forecasting and capacity planning), vi Skills (skills taxonomy and tracking), vi Eval (performance management), vi RTF (real-time feedback), vi LMS/CLE (learning management and credit tracking), plus Data, Trends & Reporting — covering the full employee lifecycle from recruitment through learning and professional development.

The underlying architecture is mobile-ready and integrates with major accounting, HRIS, communications, and calendar systems, though no specific named integration partners, public APIs, or SDKs are disclosed. The platform includes AI-powered features limited to generative text: evaluation narratives and evaluation summaries used within performance management and resource allocation workflows. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales with quote-based pricing and annual billing cadence; pricing is not publicly disclosed and prospects must request a demo. The company positions itself as a vertical-specialized alternative to horizontal talent suites, emphasizing pre-built workflows tailored to law firm associate-to-partner career paths, equitable work distribution, and CLE credit compliance. Reference customers include Mintz Levin, Herrick Feinstein LLP, and Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, all large enterprise law firms. The product is also marketed across eight secondary verticals — consulting, accounting, financial advisory, marketing/advertising, AEC, healthcare, education, and technology — though the legal segment is dominant. No revenue, ARR, or funding history is disclosed; the company is wholly owned by Aderant with no external institutional investment evidenced.
