Ford & Harrison Has Chosen ROBObak Data Protection System

ROBObak announced that Ford & Harrison, a national legal practice in all aspects of labor and employment law with 18 offices and close to 200 lawyers located across the country, has chosen ROBObak Data Protection System to centralize its data backup and recovery.

Like many companies, Ford & Harrison’s remote offices from New York to Los Angeles faced multiple technology challenges in effectively protecting multiple terabytes of sensitive data from its clients prior to implementing ROBObak. “Each of our offices was having trouble backing up their data on tape.  It was not working for a number of reasons,” said Michael Gallagher, Ford & Harrison’s Director of Information Technology.

“We ended up with multiple formats of tape drives in our offices, which meant we needed additional drives in our headquarters, and that was only the start,” he said. “Getting someone to regularly load and change tapes at each of our remote offices was difficult.  We needed to have those tapes shipped to Atlanta, which was a challenge because of the sensitive information contained on each one. And finding the appropriate tape, when a lawyer accidentally deleted or edited over a file, was also a problem.”
