Although we aren’t eaxactly the kings of tech we know that cloud computing has been around for a while now… it appears as though more and more firms are finding how it can be of use to their practice
After reporting on Mallesons (Australia) earlier this week and their uptake of the technology we read on the IT Pro website that
MacRoberts? a Scottish legal firm that has British and international clients has adopted the technology wholeheartedly
Here’s what IT Pro had to say about the firm
It is a commercial law firm, dealing with business issues such as employment advice, litigation and corporate banking.
There was a large amount of pressure on MacRoberts when it came to email. It needed to follow compliance regulations, but it found it was easy to create information, but hard to keep control of it.
Also, spam had always been a problem for the company, which had used several different email solutions to control it in the past.
So last November, MacRoberts decided to start using a cloud-based email solution from Mimecast.
The spam controls were fine, but what MacRoberts IT manager Robert Crichton particularly liked was how the Mimecast cloud solution helped lawyers work efficiently outside of the office at a price that the company could afford.
?We don?t have enough money to invest in hundreds of clustered exchange servers, so offloading that power to Mimecast is a big benefit to us,” he said.
