Norton Peskett’s right choice at the right time

An astutely timed cloud migration helped Norton Peskett remain efficient through the pandemic and navigate its many challenges. Cloud Geeni was the firm’s provider of choice.

As a well-respected legal firm with a deep-rooted heritage, Norton Peskett solicitors have been providing legal services to businesses and individuals in the East Anglia area for over 180 years.

From the company’s humble beginnings in the 1830’s through to present day with over hundred staff across six locations, Norton Peskett have weathered many storms to become a highly respected firm.

Combining the firm’s rich heritage with a need for digital transformation, Norton Peskett made the decision to drive operational excellence through cloud migration – embarking on a search for a suitable managed service provider in 2019.

This transpired to be an astute business decision with the effects of the global pandemic just around the corner.

What was the main driver behind the decision to adopt the cloud?

With on premise Zen servers coming to the end of their life, this presented an optimal time to adopt a more streamlined infrastructure and move away from an on-premise Citrix environment built by a third-party provider.

This set up proved to be expensive to replace and difficult to support coupled with the complexity of offering remote working to their staff through the current setup, it was time for the firm to make a change.
