Why law firms should consider outsourcing their
IT

Chapter 1 The three myths you should stop
believing in 2014

Myth no. 1
My firms data wont be as secure if we move to
a cloud solution. Reality When switching to
the cloud you entrust your data into the hands of
experts. Given the IT resources and
infrastructure they posses, they will be able to
protect your data much better than you would be
able to in your offices.

Myth no. 2
The internet is not a reliable infrastructure
for law firms. Really? Think again. The
whole world counts on the existence of internet
connections to function. Surely, you too can
count on online services for your legal firm.

Myth no. 3
The transition to the cloud will be disruptive
to our work. Not if you choose the right
supplier. It is their responsibility to make the
transition as smooth as possible and minimise the
unavoidable inconveniences.

What do you get from IT?

• An IT department at your disposal
• By outsourcing your IT, you delegate the
  management of all your IT systems to an external
  company which will act as your external IT
  department.

This will give you access to all the skills and
services you need, when you need them.
