Organization
James Waite Law is a Colorado-based legal firm specializing in services for equipment manufacturers, dealers, and lessors. The firm focuses on tackling complex legal challenges in the equipment industry.
Challenge
Behind the scenes of James Waite Law’s legal services was an IT setup that presented opportunities for improvement in security and efficiency, particularly with their data storage. The firm’s data management relied on a personal OneDrive account for storage and sharing, creating a need for a more scalable and secure solution to support their IT infrastructure.
This approach raised immediate concerns:
- Data Security: Sensitive files were exposed to unnecessary risks outside the protection of enterprise-grade safeguards.
- Data Integrity: The lack of centralized control made it difficult to ensure proper oversight.
- Scalability and Efficiency: A system reliant on an individual’s account could not support the firm’s long-term needs.
Recognizing the need for an IT overhaul, James Waite Law sought a partner who could not only address their immediate vulnerabilities but also position the firm for sustained operational excellence.
Solution
BNC assessed James Waite Law’s challenges and deployed a more secure and user-friendly Microsoft 365 solution tailored to the firm’s needs.
Key elements of the solution included:
- SharePoint for Centralized Data Management: A sophisticated platform for securely storing, organizing, and sharing company data, ensuring seamless collaboration across the organization.
- OneDrive for Individual File Security: A secure repository for personal files, giving employees the tools they need without compromising organizational oversight.
- Microsoft Intune for Device Management: A system to enforce consistent security policies and maintain control over all connected devices.
- Microsoft Defender for Threat Protection: Advanced cybersecurity measures to shield the firm’s data from evolving threats.
BNC’s approach was more than a superficial technical upgrade—it was a strategic realignment designed to enhance security, optimize their workflow, and protect the firm’s reputation.
Results
James Waite Law’s operations underwent a dramatic improvement with:
- Enhanced Security: With Microsoft Defender and Intune in place, the firm’s sensitive data is now shielded by state-of-the-art defenses, significantly reducing risks.
- Streamlined Data Management: SharePoint centralized company data, eliminating the inefficiencies and vulnerabilities of the previous ad-hoc system. Employees now access files with confidence, knowing they are organized, secure, and readily available.
- Optimized IT Processes: The firm’s new IT protocols are both scalable and efficient, supporting future growth while maintaining the highest IT standards.
James Waite Law has moved from a reactive and fragmented IT environment to a proactive and unified system that is more optimized to handle the firm’s legal service workload.
