Case Discovery

When a well-established legal firm reached out to Synpact, they grappled with a steadily climbing IT budget that seemed to increase without clear direction.

The firm was in dire need of a technology roadmap and lacked proper oversight of its IT staff.

It was a classic case of technology running without a robust strategy, and they needed help to rein it in.

Objectives

The legal firm was clear about its goals: slash the wasteful spending and get its IT department under control. For Synpact, this request perfectly fits their ethos of leveraging technology to increase productivity, reduce overhead, and optimize operational effectiveness.

By implementing their services and procedures to meet these specific needs, Synpact aimed to streamline the firm’s technology and vendors to bring some much-needed structure to the internal IT department.

Custom Solutions

To tackle the firm’s challenges, Synpact rolled out a suite of services that included managed IT, security cameras, unified communications, access control, and cabling. However, the magic happened when they developed a custom roadmap to prioritize strategic goals while enhancing efficiency across the board.

It was a bespoke solution perfectly aligned with the firm’s urgent needs.

Implementation and Challenges

Implementing these solutions was challenging, but Synpact was up to the task. With over 740 users affected, precision was key. The Synpact team worked closely with the law firm and ensured that every step of the implementation was as smooth as possible. They overcame challenges by working together as a united team and putting in the hard work and dedication needed.

Impact and Success

The results spoke for themselves.

Moreover, the effectiveness of the IT staff could now be measured, and both cyber and physical security were notably improved.

Client Relationship

Synpact’s relationship with the client evolved into a partnership, with Synpact earning a trusted seat at the decision-making table. The firm valued Synpact’s clear and straightforward communication and ability to deliver results that matched their initial promises.

Long-term Impact
