IT Managed Services: Where Does Your Firm Fit? - Valeo Networks

Written by Valeo Networks | Oct 16, 2015 4:00:00 AM

Law firm technology is not as simple as most business owners would think. With the Valeo Networks team’s collective years of corporate experience working with firms and departments of all sizes, we have learned that lawyers want to practice law and do not want to be a computer expert.  The question lately is how many computer people should be employed in a law firm.  For years, most legal technology consultants indicated that there should be one full-time computer person for every 35 end users.  The more technology your firm uses, the lower the ratio.

Not often does a law firm handle 100% of their own technology 100% of the time.  For example, copy machines are usually leased and maintained by outside vendors.  Telephone systems are another example of technology that is outsourced. There are, however, several technologies that are often outsourced, depending upon the firm and circumstances.

Here is a short list of what we think are your needs:

  • 24/7 support, or just Monday-Friday standard business hours
  • Latest and greatest software that your attorneys and staff rely on to do their jobs
  • IT expertise to either supplement in-house IT staff, or to fill the role completely
  • Scalable network, capable of accommodating new hires, in existing and new locations
  • Ability to gain and maintain a competitive advantage
  • Mobile access to applications and data on devices of choice
  • Continuous system uptime and reliability—even during a disaster
  • Predictable IT-related expenditures

These are the technologies involved to support those needs:

  • Network management and monitoring, maintained 24 hours a day
  • Support for servers, desktops, laptops, and tablets and smartphones (including mobile device management for the security of BYOD—“bring your own device” phones)
  • Hosted line-of-business software
  • Backup, disaster preparedness and recovery processes
  • Security for data, networks and hardware
  • Cloud services—hosted applications, email and data storage
