BRM Strategic IT Review

Lights-On worked with BRM to help the company understand if its IT function was able to support the existing company and future growth.

BRM asked Lights-On for an independent assessment of its IT function, including infrastructure, personnel and technology

IT strategy fueling business growth

Leading Yorkshire and Derbyshire law firm, BRM had been through a period of impressive growth, had a robust business strategy and wanted to ensure that its technology, people and processes could support this strategy and the continued growth of the firm.

The leadership team at BRM asked Lights-On Consulting for assistance with assessing, benchmarking and advising on the existing IT function and future plans.

We held discussions with members of staff across the firm to ascertain the consensus of the internal IT service and technologies used within the business.

We then audited the technology, structure and processes used within BRM and identified areas where changes and additions of certain technologies or processes could add value to the business to support the growth.

This data was presented in a report to the board with suggested immediate improvements together with longer-term actions to facilitate growth.

Future ready

BRM now has a solid technology foundation to support its growth. The leadership team can focus on leading the firm, knowing that the technology, infrastructure and team are well provisioned and there is a plan to support the future growth plans of the firm.

“Since 2019 BRM had aggressively pursued growth which led to 60% increase in staff and 132% increase in turnover. Being well ahead of our business plan targets, we felt we needed to ensure that our internal infrastructure was keeping and could keep pace with our expansion.
Lights-on brought insight and expertise to reviewing and re-structuring our IT function, bringing clarity to the thoughts of our management team.
Lights-on helped us implement recruitment and management structures which have left us confident that we have solid foundations for our future ambitions.
Lights-on brought know-how, insight and soft skills to this thorough and supportive process.
I would recommend Lights-On to any other law firm in similar position.”
