Legal Services


Feature Of course, there are also organisations that


outsource much of their IT. It would be hoped that the supplier is doing its job and that no issues would exist, but every customer-supplier relationship has the potential to have problems or to benefit from improvements. Once again, IT consultants will have knowledge of


several IT service providers and how they work within various organisations. They will therefore be able to give an independent


view of whether your supplier is operating efficiently or whether there might be opportunities for improvement. In the case of customer-supplier disputes an IT


consultant will be viewed as more independent meaning their findings and opinions will carry more weight. The following might be of assistance:


• IT supplier review – to ensure the correct suppliers are in place and that they are using the appropriate technologies.


• Independent advice – to assist with supplier negotiations or to provide independent information to aid contractual disputes or legal action.


• IT software review – many IT service providers focus on hardware and standard software such as Microsoft Office and may not be assisting you in getting the best from your specialist legal software.


We have seen above that there are many ways in


which an IT consultant can provide an IT review and add value through their knowledge and independence. But isn’t this just extra expense that you can do without? In reality a good IT consultant can be obtained for a cost that is similar to that of a law firm associate and the changes that they bring can be lasting and highly beneficial.
