Challenge
Pathway Legal reached out to Regroove to eliminate excessive server costs due to large amounts of data they were housing. The client’s server expenses exceed $3,000 per month. Pathway Legal wanted to become a more modern, cloud-based law firm, while limiting the server costs related to housing data from 2001 forward.
Alongside a full Microsoft Office setup, Teams Voice, and server tidying, Regroove ensured that going forward, everything would be cloud based.
Solution
To reduce the costs for Pathway Legal, all data on the server was moved to SharePoint Online and Microsoft Teams. This ensured the client’s data was easily accessible and secure, while significantly reducing their data storage costs.
As part of this process, the benefit of using single sign-on with supported Microsoft 365 applications and services was now possible. Simply put they could now access all the available Microsoft 365 applications and services without having to login multiple times with different passwords.
With this in place Pathway Legal staff could effortlessly access the tools and services they required like Teams and SharePoint, thus promoting greater productivity and efficiency.
Outcome and Benefits
There are several benefits associated with single sign-on. The most important benefits for Pathway Legal included:
- The ability to access information from any location with just one login
- A lighter environment with less hardware to carry, due to a centralized system
- No need to contact IT every time a server issue arose as everything was cloud based
- Increased safety
- Added security and convenience when signing into applications hosted in a centralized environment
Regroove gave us never ending patience and guided us to the solution that was needed whilst walking us through the process.
