A recent project that MicroXpress managed for Stock and Leader Attorneys at Law was their migration to new cloud-based apps. For years, Stock and Leader Attorneys at Law had been relying on legacy legal software applications, but as the pandemic forced them to send their staff home, it became clear they needed to upgrade to modern, cloud-based solutions like Clio and NetDocuments.
“It was something we’ve been wanting to do for years,” says Rebecca. “COVID-19 and us working remotely was definitely a driving factor.
IT resources have never been as important as they are now as a majority of professionals work from home. In order for organizations like Stock and Leader Attorneys at Law to stay connected and productive while working remotely, they need the right technologies and processes in place.
“It was the motivation that we needed to do that, because we’ve been working remotely since last March, and it was very difficult for all of us to do with the VPN or remote desktops,” says Rebecca.
Due to how quickly the pandemic developed, many organizations were unable to prepare for the shift to a remote work setting. Doing so would have required careful planning, methodical execution of new processes, and expert implementation of new technologies.
Fortunately for Stock and Leader Attorneys at Law, they can rely on MicroXpress for expert assistance. The MicroXpress team ensured that everyone working remotely for Stock and Leader Attorneys at Law had what they needed to do so productively and securely.
“We’ve had some scary situations,” says Rebecca. “A week into the COVID pandemic, we were infected with crypto, but fortunately, because of the systems they have in place, we had a redundant backup that was offsite.”
At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, Stock and Leader Attorneys at Law was hit with a ransomware attack. Given that they were in the process of transitioning to remote work, this was an especially vulnerable time for their organization. Fortunately, MicroXpress had them covered.
“We were able to rebuild everything immediately without having to pay the ransom,” says Rebecca. “MicroXpress had all the systems in place to allow us to get up and running again.”
As an active organization, Stock and Leader Attorneys at Law can’t afford to put up with the disruption and damage posed by a ransomware attack. They recognize how commonplace and threatening cybercrime attacks like this are, which is why they’ve invested in expert support from MicroXpress.
“It’s silly to think that it’s not going to happen to you,” says Rebecca. “It’s definitely worth the investment.”
