When Microsoft announced that it was ending support for its Windows 7, LK Shields leaders were forced to seek out new software and solutions that could facilitate its business operations while meeting the organisation’s security and support needs.
Facing an urgent need for transformation, the law firm was interested in cloud-based solutions that could be extended to all of its office locations to deliver better scalability, collaboration between business locations, data security, and cost-efficiencies regarding cloud subscription licences.
To meet the organisation’s present business needs and its needs for the future, Codec helped LK Shields implement a new cloud-based document management solution as part of a broader upgrade to the company’s entire suite of office products.
The law firm transitioned to the cloud-based Office 365 suite, giving its employees access not only to integrated cloud management of documents, but also cloud-based email and related business products and capabilities offered within the Microsoft stacks, such as Microsoft teams. Power BI was implemented to enhance data security as well as the organisation’s ability to leverage data as part of innovative, intelligence-driven projects.
As experts in the Office 365 suite, Codec was also able to elevate the expertise and platform fluency of LK Shields’ staff, elevating the value of these new business solutions while improving the collaborative relationships between managed service providers and the company’s local IT team.
