Customer use case
Business challenge
The senior partners of a law firm located in the West Midlands contacted seeking a complete IT support and infrastructure solutions. They wanted to move their physical server estate and data to a secure cloud enabling staff to access systems and data from home or from court. They were also seeking IT management and leadership for their business and had a need to pass the latest Lexcel audit and achieve Cyber Essentials Certification.
How Simtech helped
Simtech designed and implemented an Azure infrastructure, allowing the financial services team to work securely and access digital information from the office or from home. We implemented additional cyber security measures that created an uplift to the base level security standards across the business.
Simtech conducted a review of the current IT setup and carried out a cloud migration feasibility study of the systems and technology infrastructure and software applications in place. Our team of Azure architects designed a solution that would meet the needs of law firm, including the compliance elements surrounding Lexcel and Cyber Essentials.
Our IT experts stepped in to act as the IT leadership team for the law firm through our outsourced Chief Information Officer (CIO) service, giving them the expertise within the business at a fraction of the cost of an internal hire. Our CIO produced an implementation plan and executed that effectively with our IT support services team to deliver the cloud infrastructure solution to the law firm.
Through our Chief Information Officer service we conducted a cyber security attack assessment designed for law firms to identify and mitigate any potential risk. We then worked with the client to achieve Cyber Essentials Plus certification.
