Setting the scene
London Legal, a leading print management company supporting some of London’s top law firms, needed to address a critical challenge.
Their key servers and file server, holding sensitive legal data, had reached end-of-life.
With strict cybersecurity obligations due to the nature of the industry, it was essential to update their systems and stay secure. They required a smooth cloud migration to protect their operations, secure data, and enable flexible remote working with Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD).
inTEC Business stepped in with a Microsoft Azure solution, helping London Legal stay secure, scalable, and in control.
So, how did they do it? Grab a coffee and dive into the case study below.
The Solution
To tackle London Legal’s challenges, inTEC Business utilised Microsoft’s Cloud Migration Factory to deliver a seamless move to the cloud.
Using the Cloud Migration Factory – Microsoft’s program designed to simplify and accelerate cloud adoption – ensured minimal disruption to London Legal’s daily operations while meeting their need for security, scalability, and flexibility.
Here’s how inTEC did it in five clear steps.
1. Assessment & Planning
inTEC started with a thorough review of London Legal’s IT infrastructure, identifying dependencies and workloads and created a detailed migration plan, focusing on mitigating risks, backing up critical data, and preparing contingencies for unexpected downtime.
2. Server Migration
Key servers, including LL-APP-01, LL-Print-01, and NetwrixAuditor, were migrated to Microsoft Azure using automated tools. This minimised manual effort, reduced downtime, and ensured these essential systems were up and running in the cloud quickly and efficiently.
3. File Server Migration to Azure Files
Transferring the file server was a crucial step to keep London Legal’s large repository of sensitive legal documents secure and compliant with industry regulations. Azure Files provided scalable, cloud-based file shares with high availability, making it easy to integrate with their existing applications.
4. Azure VPN and Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD)
To enable secure and flexible remote working, inTEC deployed an Azure VPN for safe access to cloud resources from any location. Azure Virtual Desktop was also implemented, giving staff a secure, cloud-based desktop experience that allows them to work from anywhere, on any device.
5. Collaboration & Communication
Throughout the project, inTEC provided regular updates to London Legal which meant they stayed informed every step of the way.
