Discover the Story : Modernizing IT Infrastructure, A Hybrid Cloud Solution for Greater Efficiency and Security
The Issue:
Data Reliability
A law firm was facing challenges with an aging, unstable server and limited remote access to critical files, the firm approached a MSP for a solution. Lawyers often had to download files to work remotely due to unreliable VPN access, and their legacy business application could only function in the office.
The Solution: Partnering with a MSP
The MSP designed a hybrid cloud solution that addressed their needs with a combination of public and private cloud services. All company data was migrated to Microsoft SharePoint and OneDrive for Business, offering stable, accessible data storage with secure sharing options and offline work capabilities. Microsoft Teams and Azure AD enhanced collaboration and identity management. For legacy applications, the MSP moved them to their Private Cloud, providing a secure and reliable environment for critical systems.
To bolster security, the MSP implemented Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and encrypted devices. Daily backups with a 7-day retention period further ensured the safety of the Law Office data.
Results: Efficiency
With this hybrid solution, they modernized its IT infrastructure, eliminating the need for costly hardware and maintenance. The firm now spends 18% less on IT infrastructure each month while benefiting from a flexible and scalable system. This forward-thinking approach has streamlined operations, reduced downtime, and improved overall efficiency, all while ensuring a seamless and secure IT experience for the firm.
