The Challenge

Our Approach

Following a confidential review of SCURA’s technology needs, policies, and procedures, powersolution developed a plan to implement industry best practices.

What We Implemented

The environment was stabilized and secured in the Cloud, eliminating a need for SCURA to invest in new server hardware and operating software

Connectivity, Storage, and Communications Upgraded:

The entire IT environment was migrated to Azure Virtual Desktop, working in combination with Microsoft 365. This facilitated improved and secure connection, storage capacity, and communication options for computer users when working in-office or remotely.

Outdated Technology Handled

End-of-Life servers were decommissioned, shifting all workloads to the Cloud

Software Transition Accommodation

The firm's change to a new legal software platform, remote workers were securely connected to the office environment through a Remote Desktop Server solution, including data storage

Superior Security

The new environment included securing the network with powersolution's Secure Global Network (SGN), creating an “Always Connected, Always Protected” environment, for both inoffice and remote workers

Threat Protection and Prevention

In addition to SGN, powersolution implemented a next-generation suite of extra cybersecurity protections to monitor for cyber-intruders and to secure open communication ports, helping the organization avoid any future ransomware or cyberthreat incidents.

In the client's words

“Powersolution impressed me when we first engaged them in 2017 by managing a smooth and seamless transition from our previous IT provider. Since then, our attorneys have often expressed how professional, knowledgeable, and responsive the entire powersolution team has been in supporting SCURA. Personally, I've worked with many IT companies and believe powersolution to be by far the best! Now that we are into our sixth year (2023) working with powersolution, they continue to help me along with the attorneys and other staff members to be more productive day-in and day-out I highly recommended them!”
