Limited access to case data heightened their security risks and posed a variety of productivity challenges. Further, remote work was cumbersome due to poor Virtual Private Network (VPN) connectivity and slow performance. A solution was necessary to ensure the long-term success of the firm. **Process** Through an IT assessment led by one of Nucleus’ Virtual Chief Information Officers [(vCIO)](https://yournucleus.ca/services/vcio/), a variety of technical issues were discovered. Information was stored on a traditional file server infrastructure but was unsearchable by context making access to historical data a timely process. Poor VPN connectivity and slow computers resulted in many of the firm’s Partners and staff storing data on local computers, weakening the firm’s security and heightening their risk of data loss. Nucleus’ vCIO established parameters to source, evaluate and score SaaS platforms to unify data and create an effective workflow. Through a series of focus groups and a process of weighted scoring on features and benefits, a platform was selected that suited the needs of the growing law firm. **Result** The law firm transitioned to the new platform and significantly improved their workflows and internal communications. The added benefits of full text contextual search and integration with Microsoft 365 provided staff with a solid foundation for case management and research. The firm decommissioned their traditional server environment and is operating entirely on the cloud.  **Managed IT services for Law Firms** Applying over 20 years of experience working with law firms throughout Canada, we provide industry-specific IT solutions with a range of benefits:  - Accessibility – Improved access and collaboration to data anytime, regardless of location (work from anywhere). - Security – Protect sensitive data, reduce cyber risk and safeguard your firm’s reputation. - Support – Receive ongoing support from a service desk [POD](https://blog.yournucleus.ca/pod-system) that specializes in the legal industry . - Business continuity – Lawyers need to retain legal documents for a specified amount of time, depending on the province they operate in.
