B & H Lawyers are a boutique legal firm based in Mulgrave with 15 staff and were Webcom Solutions first client way back in 2006. Back in those days they had a staff of four and I was looking after their IT as a side gig whilst working full time.

B & H Lawyers has now grown to a large legal firm with over 15 staff. Webcom solutions has helped them grow along the way over 13 years and the support provided has been exceptional.

The goals for the project were:

• Migrate services to the cloud
• Retain older hardware
• Minimise downtime
• Simplify infrastructure

The Solution

In 2009, Webcom Solutions, then known as Steedman Consulting, set up and configured a Windows SBS 2008 Server. The server had run smoothly for seven years until it was decided to migrate all email to Office 365. Webcom Solutions was engaged to manage this.

Over a weekend, all data was archived from the SBS server and uploaded to Office 365, and the old Exchange Server decommissioned. With the Exchange Server no longer required, resources were freed up on the old server, allowing it to be still used without the cost of new hardware.

Webcom Solutions also assisted with the migration of the on-premise conveyancing system to a Cloud-based application.

There was no downtime experienced by the staff in this migration. All mobile devices were quickly and easily configured on a Monday morning to access email.

All in all, the services Webcom Solutions provide B & H Lawyers are:

• 24 x 7 Remote and Onsite Support
• Remote Monitoring and Management
• Microsoft 365 licensing
• Networking Hardware Support
• SaaS backup Solutions
