Know your numbers. Act on them.

Practice Intelligence brings your firm’s data together in an easy-to-understand, multi-level dashboard, developed with law firms who want an up-to-date view of exactly what’s happening daily.

As well as saving the time it takes to create management reports, it lets you drill down into the detail to understand the cause of the results.

Transitioning to the cloud

Hosted, cloud or somewhere in between.

There are clear advantages to moving to the cloud. If you’re looking to take your firm into a hosted environment, or fully to the cloud, our team are experts in this area and ready to help.

Based on the platforms your firm uses, how old your servers are and what other applications you want to move, we’ll help you decide whether to go to the cloud, when is the best time, and what your options are.

Migration, cyber security testing and training, consulting

From what you have to what you need.

Tell us what you want to achieve and we’ll work with you to get there, whether that’s changing practice management system, testing your defences, training your team or planning your next technology investment.

Data cleansing

Faster systems and lower storage costs.

After technology platforms have been used for a long time, large quantities of data can slow systems down or become expensive to store. Data cleansing identifies excess, duplicate and historic data so it can be deleted, archived or stored more efficiently.

  • Leave historic data behind when you migrate
  • Keep data when changing platforms, without migrating it
  • Cut hosted storage costs
  • Speed up a practice management system slowed by its database size

Results

What firms say

“The IT Simply Team are fantastic to work with. Nothing seems to be a problem and they have a great understanding of how law firms work and what the drivers of performance are. We thought that we had a good understanding of our business until IT Simply produced PowerBI-based reporting for us that opened our eyes to many of the performance measures and metrics that we rely on. Tasks that once took us hours to produce analysis and reporting are now at our fingertips. We are continuing to improve our performance and could not easily do this without the insights that IT Simply deliver us via PowerBI. We are really looking forward to the next steps in our journey where the insights are translated into actions that drive more material performance improvements. IT Simply will be a big part of this.”
