here's a mid-size firm were always in the middle between you know um...
e options for smaller firms and then the budgets for larger firms what can we
uh... leverage that we have right now verses where we want to go and so it's
always uh... can challenge the balanced kind of like the investment in new
technology what kind of taking that taking getting the best of the new
technology that we already have when using infrastructure depending on your
side is
you know the uh... a mid sized for microsoft is going to work much more to
cloud based solutions klaver exists because quite frankly we just don't have
the budget
where the manpower to invest in large
on premise
server for a mistress challenges both ways the challenges for me
as i have a very small staff so we don't have the the economies of scale that we
can throw it something in terms of resources to meet a need or smita
project so if i add one or were a lot of new version of office i don't have
thirty people that i can bring in from other offices or other locations to help
do that on the other hand i'm only dealing with eighty five uh... user
eighty-five attorneys and a hundred and fifty users and may be
for your forties shareholder so
if i had to deal with a thousand shareholders i'm sure that there is atm
trouble on that end of the scale as well people are afraid of of the cloud
because it's kind of like
all i can see my data i cant touch my dad that i was running jobs that artist
alley will secure data there is a busy day of we can't find our data
and we can touch it unit in the lobby of so i was away i really think the working
at
you've virtualization and and work flow technologies have really come of age
where you can for for certainly for mid-size the smaller companies like
ourselves
you can really get a tremendous return your investment in terms of what you're
spending
you will allow a much broader easier
more comprehensive solution that also gives you built-in business continuity
planning with that affect the advantages we have is that we can make quicker
decisions that have less bureaucracy involved
i think the disadvantages are lack of staff
uh... so we have to utilize consultants for vendors to actually
filling the gaps the knowledge gaps that we have
and implementation
or death which i know for sure
with everything on the hardest part is high and that i t department
uh... so it's really tough to do all the work done and still do the research and
development as well as building projects as intended
we just upgraded and do change server
and which are using up the speeches nineteen pretty much do a couple years
without creating anything and then all seven this kind of great everything
projects yet become faster than tomorrow
