Putting IT to work for your practice
Many legal practices are discovering how mobile working and other new technologies can improve productivity, internal processes and the quality of service provided to clients.
As your practice acquires more and more systems, however, they can sidetrack partners and staff from billable work.
Intercept’s experience working within the legal profession means we understand the importance of secure and flexible solutions that require little or no hands-on management.
Our online services can deliver all your applications, including your PMS, or digital dictation to the desktop. You can access any programme via your web browser, and let Intercept manage the underlying technology infrastructure.
Your systems are integrated and regularly updated without the need for in-house IT expertise. With the firm’s files and data available remotely, your teams can work more productively, accessing real-time information from client meetings, court or wherever they require.
Compliance obligations are taken care of too, thanks to Intercept’s industry standard security procedures. Our secure archiving helps fulfil The Law Society’s requirement for long-term retention of electronic data, while backups of your systems (or the option of real-time data replication to a second data centre) mean your practice can quickly recover should an unexpected disaster occur. By paying only for the services you use, your IT costs are easier to control too.
For larger law firms, where in-house storage and server hardware are often close to full capacity, Intercept’s managed services can help to optimise your IT infrastructure.
New virtualisation technologies enable you to extract dramatic improvements from your existing hardware, producing better quality of service along with a great reduction in both capital costs and power consumption.
With thin clients you save even more, as they use around 40% less power than a PC. All our online services can be upgraded so that each user has a thin client, for just a modest increase in your subscription.
In the complex, demanding business of law it’s important to control costs and ensure that money isn’t wasted on unnecessary overheads like electricity and phones.
