QUEENSLAND FAMILY LAW PRACTICE
Queensland Family Law Practice (QFLP) faced ongoing challenges with their aging internal systems, hampering the overall efficiency and effectiveness of their business operations. Despite notable progress in migrating data and applications to the cloud, the firm required external support to overcome technical challenges from their outdated legacy systems. Although plans were underway to replace these systems, QFLP was hesitant to invest in additional office infrastructure.
QFLP enlisted the expertise of Cloudatmo to conduct a comprehensive analysis of their systems, security, and applications with the ambitious goal of achieving full cloud adoption and eliminating reliance on a single physical office location. Cloudatmo, through close collaboration with the respective application vendors, successfully charted migration paths for each of the applications utilised by QFLP. These migration paths categorise the applications into the following options:
Retire: Cease usage and payment for applications that no longer serve the firm's needs.
Rebuild: Migrate applications seamlessly to a cloud-based infrastructure while simultaneously rebuilding the underlying system.
Repurchase: Replace existing applications with new offerings that better align with QFLP's requirements.
Cloudatmo collaborated closely with John, the Chief Operations Officer at QFLP, to effectively enhance their operations. Through a comprehensive approach, Cloudatmo designed, implemented, and seamlessly migrated their applications and staff members to a cutting-edge cloud solution. This transformative journey also included a complete reformation of security, compliance, and automation strategies by QFLP. Here's how Cloudatmo and John accomplished this together:
Implementing new security controls: We aligned these controls with QFLP's unique business processes and compliance policies, providing a solid framework for safeguarding sensitive information.
Introducing a revolutionary automation platform: QFLP experienced a complete overhaul of printer management, application installation, and updates within their firm. This new platform enhanced efficiency and streamlined their operations to unprecedented levels.
Creating a fully cloud-hosted solution: Cloudatmo empowered QFLP with a scalable, 100% cloud-based infrastructure. This strategic move ensures optimal performance and worldwide accessibility, enabling QFLP to grow and expand their operations both nationally and globally.
Establishing governance policies: To effectively manage costs associated with the new cloud services, Cloudatmo and QFLP worked together to define governance policies. This approach ensures transparent tracking of expenses while leveraging the full potential of the cloud.
Together, Cloudatmo and QFLP paved the way for a more secure, efficient, and scalable future.
"In a world of ever evolving IT systems, and where data protection is the forefront of people’s minds, QFLP wished to redefine industry standards and set a high benchmark for client security and confidence.
To this end, Josh patiently listened to our pain points, challenges and concerns, then intern supplied a customised solution to our aging systems, and provided a road map of how to get there. Cloudatmo has provided our team the certainty and piece of mind of handling our IT challenges quickly and efficiently as they arise. Never once did I feel kept in the dark, or and nothing was ever a problem.”
