Morrish Solicitors Protects Data With Acronis

Acronis International GmbH has
been chosen by Morrish Solicitors LLP to provide a centralised backup and
recovery solution to protect its four offices nationwide.

Acronis Backup & Recovery has improved backup and recovery times, with a
reduction of 30% in its backup and recovery window since implementation and
provided more choices for efficient storage.

After using an incumbent solution from Symantec for ten years, the firm found
that lengthy system backup times were becoming too inefficient as data volumes
grew across its four locations in Leeds, Bradford, Pudesy and Yeadon. Morrish
needed a replacement that could scale to meet growing data demands, provide
flexible storage and recovery options, whilst achieving compliance with the
industry regulations. In some instances, documents are required to be kept for
ten years.

Morrish was also juggling several solutions to manage its different
environments which was leading to increased internal IT management times.
Morrish required a solution that would allow the company to perform backups
from one centralised interface across all four offices and have the ability to
backup to tape, disk and cloud, whilst cutting the total backup and recovery
time.

After research, Morrish Solicitors choose Acronis Backup and Recovery
11.5 Advanced Platform with Universal Restore. It was a solution which
met all of its needs. It provided a centralised solution for the company,
flexible backup and recovery to multiple environments, fast backup times and data
retrieval as well as complying with Lexcel, the international practice
management standard from the Law Society.

Jamie Lockwood, IT manager, Morrish Solicitors, said: "We have highly sensitive data that needs to
be highly secure, yet easily accessible. Acronis Backup and Recovery has made
everyone’s lives easier. Not only does it protect all our environments it also
helps us to comply with Lexcel. We now have one solution that performs all the
backups for all of our environments from one central hub. This has made a
significant difference to the time spent on performing these backups. I would
recommend the solution to anyone who is looking for a fast, flexible and
reliable backup and recovery solution."

Alan
Laing, VP EMEA, Acronis, said: "Companies
of all sizes are recognising the influx of growing amounts of data and are
looking for ways to manage this. It is particularly important for companies
like Morrish Solicitors who are dealing with a lot of sensitive information
that they have a solution that provides the protection they need, as well as
providing a backup and recovery solution that is fast, flexible and reliable."
