Challenge

Throughout the United States, GED Lawyers help victims of personal injury and natural disaster recover compensation for harm caused by negligence, misconduct or an insurance company’s unreasonable behaviour. As a full-service law firm, it helps its clients and their legal needs, with proficiency in a broad range of fields.

Dispersed Workforce: Operating across multiple offices in Florida and New Jersey, GED Lawyers had to effectively manage a dispersed workforce and ensure seamless communication and collaboration.

High IT Management Costs: Traditional IT management approaches proved to be expensive for the firm, considering the multitude of offices and the need for frequent updates and maintenance of their core application.
