The Value of Managed It for Elgin Law Firms

What do Elgin law firms have to gain from Managed IT services? As your outsourced IT department, CTI Technology Managed IT can provide the hands-on, high-standards IT services that will most benefit your law firm’s daily workflow and your data security. Here are the primary benefits when an Elgin law firm partners with a Managed IT team like CTI Technology

Professionally Optimized Stack and Network

Your software stack is essential to the flow, function, and security of your law firm’s daily practice. From the tools used by your legal team to the website widgets used by clients, every piece of your tech stack must work together, top to bottom. Professionally optimized stacks have both the right selection of software and the right chain of API connections to ensure your stack runs smoothly with a unified data structure.

Cutting-Edge Cybersecurity Solutions

Cybersecurity is an absolute must in the legal industry, as so many of the documents you handle are confidential. To keep your private data safe, you need your software, network, and endpoints all configured for maximum cutting-edge security measures. The hacking industry is evolving every year, and with a Managed IT team, so too will your cybersecurity measures. From installing the latest security patches to closing recently discovered system vulnerabilities, Managed IT can help you stay one step ahead of the latest hacking techniques to provide your clients with the maximum cybersecurity possible in the IT industry.

Network Monitoring and Detection

Network monitoring covers every layer of your stack, from the core temperature of server motherboards to the last view on specific files. It can track movement through the network, logins, file activity, and individual server resource use. Through close monitoring, pattern recognition and pattern-break alerts, network monitoring can detect the signs of hacker activity and hidden malware sooner than any other method.

Managed IT will provide monitoring services, experts to oversee the monitoring and respond to alerts, and monitoring assistive programs to help pattern-match and flag breaks in your usual IT activity routines.

Migrating to the Cloud

Many law firms are progressively making their way from hard servers to the cloud. Cloud hosting and cloud platforms provide flexibility and remote access that are essential for modern businesses. In a time when clients expect zoom meetings and online document signing, migrating to the cloud is the natural next step. A Managed IT team can help you digitize, organize, and migrate cleanly to cloud servers with as little interruption to your workflow as possible. Migrations are also a good time to upgrade your software stack and other infrastructure elements, which your Managed IT team will handle for you after careful planning for the procedure.

Backup Recovery You Can Rely On

Having a solid and well-prepared backup-recovery plan is the best way to prepare for any kind of disaster. A complete backup can allow you to recover from anything. The more complete your backup, including network configuration and endpoint installation, the more quickly you can recover from even extreme disasters like building-wrecking storms or a complete wipe to get rid of ransomware.

With a Managed IT team handling your data, we’ll make sure that every backup is taken on time and that each backup is tested for a successful restoration process before it is archived. We can take a full backup of your system, then keep more frequent backups of active documents and cases. The more recent your backup, the less ‘time warp’ loss you experience should a disaster occur.

Tech Support from an Invested Team

Finally, your Elgin law firm gains the benefit of tech support that knows your system. Instead of a break-fix service with a different agent on the phone with every call, you get a team that is as familiar with your IT system as an on-staff IT department. If your bandwidth cuts out, we know which ISP to contact. If your email has an error, we already know the ins and outs of your email platform and the typical fixes to typical problems.

And if we detect risk or problem through network monitoring, we could easily have it fixed before your law firm experiences a single interruption. Managed IT isn’t just set up. We aren’t just a help desk. We offer you the complete services of an onboard IT department for your Elgin law firm, but without the effort or expense of maintaining the department on-staff.

Here at CTI Technology, we’re here to provide for your Elgin law firm’s total IT needs. Contact us today for a consultation.
