THE
STORY
The firm provides a range of IT services, including a number of fully-featured Legal Practice Management Systems delivered as integrated solutions which combine hosted hardware, cloud-based software, digital dictation, office applications and technical support to law firms of all sizes. In late 2011, with demand for its services increasing, the firm decided to move from the shared Amazon EC2 platform to its own racks in a private data centre.
THE
help4IT EFFECT
But as Eusebio Echevarria, IT and Compliance Officer explains: “Even with leased equipment, you still need a technically adept and skilled partner to ensure that the equipment all works together and to help design a build-out – this is where we turned to help4IT for assistance.”
With the initial phase requiring 50 desktop PC’s, several servers, and implementation of a critical virtualisation platform, Quintessentially contracted help4IT to provide both technical consultancy and implementation services to support its internal IT department.

THEY SAY
ABOUT US
The project was completed in just two months, on time and within budget,” says Echevarria, “and much of the success was due to the team at help4IT acting as an effective third line support resource around VMware, Linux and other integration issues.”
help4IT has worked with Quintessentially Group for several years now and Echevarria believes that the relationship has been extremely beneficial. “We have confidence in the team at help4IT,” he comments. “They are extremely technical and have been able to help us with a wide range of challenges over the years.” The group is now working with help4IT on several new projects, including an upgrade to its mass email system using Linux-based systems.
