Approximately 50 percent of law firms are still supporting their IT needs in-house or selectively outsourcing specific projects. IT support for both the help desk and network/server support is no longer a one-person or small department responsibility as it has become such a highly specialized field. Serious consideration should be given to outsourcing your firm’s IT to a professional company to reduce firm liability, increase cybersecurity, improve client service, increase user productivity and ensure disaster recovery. Not to mention, in most cases, there is a major cost-saving benefit ranging from 20 to 50 percent.

Objectives:

  • Examine the pros and cons of outsourcing all or part of your IT support needs.

  • Identify how to choose a provider.

  • Discuss presentations tactics to gain buy in from your executive committee.

  • Summarize strategies to reposition or exit current IT staff if the decision is made to outsource

  • Review implementation processes, including tips to make a smooth transition, training time, and management time commitment.
