Thrive Enhances IT Infrastructure of Law Firm Hill & Ponton
CHALLENGE
Facing a pivotal decision, Hill & Ponton stood at a crossroads: either invest in upgrading their aging equipment or transition to private cloud. As a law firm situated in Orlando, Florida, they prioritized high availability and stability to safeguard sensitive data against cyber threats and natural disasters. Seeking enhanced security layers and a robust recovery strategy, they recognized the importance of establishing an effective security management program for future success. Acknowledging the evolving threat landscape, Hill & Ponton sought a specialized partner capable of navigating the increasingly disruptive IT environment essential for law firms’ stability and safeguarding sensitive client information.
SOLUTION
Thrive’s solutions empowered Hill & Ponton’s digital transformation by providing a secure pathway to the cloud, enabling them to leverage advancements in cloud solutions beyond the capabilities of their legacy systems. With their cloud migration completed in May 2020, the firm gained enhanced performance flexibility, crucial for adapting to COVID-19 lockdowns and facilitating seamless operations in a remote setting. In June 2020, Thrive augmented their services by integrating Managed Services (MSP) into the Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), delivering comprehensive monitoring, alerting, antivirus, patch management, and server support. Additionally, Thrive implemented immutable backups and advanced endpoint protection with Managed Detection and Response (MDR), further fortifying Hill & Ponton’s IT infrastructure. By entrusting Thrive with data management, accountability, and advanced security measures, Hill & Ponton’s digital capabilities were bolstered with additional layers of protection. The integration of managed services empowered their lean IT team to focus on critical tasks amid company growth, while Thrive handled compliance and security requirements.
