“We are so honored to be included on this prestigious list again,” said Kevin Haight, General Manager at WAMS. “Being ranked No. 1 in the legal vertical as a Managed Service Provider is a testament to our ongoing commitment to our clients and success in the industry. We custom-tailor our service offerings to the legal industry specifically. We have grown to know our clients’ operations over the years and understand what our clients need to be successful in their business.”
WAMS developed its custom hosted solution, WAMS Cloud Connect, in 2012 due to the demand for law firms to meet their business objectives. The company saw the need to provide attorneys with the ability to access their business network, applications and data from any Internet connected device. Lawyers are very mobile and frequently need to have ready access to their clients’ data in order to provide legal services.
Backed by Continuum’s industry-leading Network Operations Center (NOC), Continuity247 proactively monitors and verifies backups, provides recovery and testing support, troubleshoots and ensures backups continuously run 24x7x365 for small and medium sized business clients. Having the NOC team of more than 650 technicians behind WAMS is one of the largest benefits for the MSP.
