IT Strategy for law firm Frettens

Strategic IT Review looking a key areas to gain an understanding of the IT function

Dorset-based law firm Frettens wanted to understand what was working well with their IT and to identify any areas needing improvement. The firm has an ambitious growth plan that requires solid infrastructure, so required expert legal IT consultancy to assess and advise on the next steps to help that growth.

Lights-On Consulting led a Strategic IT Review that involved looking at several key areas to quickly gain an understanding of the IT function at Frettens.

The Strategic IT review for Frettens involved:

• Discussions with staff and partners to get an understanding of their perceptions of IT, applications and service.
• Interviews with selected suppliers
• Comprehensive due diligence

All of which allowed us to identify those areas for improvement or requiring further discussions.

We concluded the strategic IT review with a board report in plain English, and a presentation of our findings, recommendations and suggestions of next steps.
