The firm said its move to cloud computing has helped it manage disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Each of its 28 offices around the world already use iManage email and document management software.
‘Our firm believes that the cloud is the future, and we have been very impressed with iManage cloud’s impact on productivity, remote access, and reduction of operational overhead,’ said Darren Brown, Head of IT for Europe & Middle East at King & Wood Mallesons.
‘In fact, in this unprecedented work-from-home environment triggered by COVID-19, our cloud operations have been flawless. The ease of employee access to iManage Work from mobile phones and laptops has been a dream, with no impact to performance or response times.
‘Our cloud strategy allowed us to circumvent painful VPN bandwidth issues that may have arisen if our network, systems, and employees were not cloud enabled.’
The firm has added an extra layer of protection for its data by subscribing to iManage Threat Manager, which uses techniques such as adaptive behaviour modelling to neutralize threats. It reports that this move has reduced operational security costs.
