Cloud Services
Moving to the cloud allows law firms to immediately gain control of operational budgets, safely and securely store important firm and client data, gain world-class disaster data backup and recovery and scale infrastructure at a moment’s notice. Our Cloud practice group helps law firms stay competitive and provide the highest quality service to their clients by moving their data to the cloud, making it accessible and editable from anywhere on any device.
Consulting
The Consulting practice group at Innovative Computing Systems offers clients the opportunity to outsource their entire IT management function, or bring on high-level expertise without making an investment in additional overhead. We advise clients on their strategic roadmap and budget, audit their needs, advise on IT policy, and help plan for business continuity.
Desktop Management
Productivity is directly impacted by the quality of the environment in which lawyers, paralegals and professionals work. Whether operating a desktop, laptop, tablet or other device, peak performance is mandatory. Our Desktop Management group is composed of engineers with highly specialized knowledge. We design environments that scale with simple and effective interface.
Enterprise Content Management (ECM)
Our Enterprise Content Management (ECM) group empowers clients to fully leverage organizational knowledge by developing and implementing strategies and technology to capture, manage, store, preserve and deliver content and documents. The services we provide ensure that content is created and managed with business goals in mind, not simply churned out and stored in a repository never to be seen again. To become more efficient, law firms must be proactive about the consistent utilization of existing work product. The new realities of cost-cutting and downward pressure on fees make it highly ineffective to reinvent the wheel for every client and project.
Enterprise Servers & Storage
Our Enterprise Servers & Storage (ESS) group helps clients build a solid foundation that run their practice. Our highly experienced team works with clients to meet their design, infrastructure and implementation needs. Collaboration with all practice groups ensures compatibility across platforms. Thorough analysis and testing accomplish a balance between future-proofing and unreasonable risk.
