Law Firm Microsoft 365 Migration Case Study

Resolution Time

2 days

Savings / Impact

$2,400/yr

Users Affected

12

The Problem

A 12-attorney law firm was losing billable hours to email outages and file sync issues on their legacy GoDaddy workspace. They needed to migrate to Microsoft 365 without losing a single email or disrupting client work.

What We Did

We planned a weekend migration: exported all mailboxes, set up Microsoft 365 with proper licensing, configured MFA for all users, and migrated SharePoint document libraries. We trained staff on Monday morning.

The Results

  • Zero downtime — Monday morning was business as usual
  • Email reliability went from ~85% to 99.9%
  • MFA blocked 3 attempted breaches in the first month
  • Monthly IT costs dropped 30% after license cleanup
“They made it look easy. We didn't lose a single email and our attorneys actually like the new system.”

Resolution Time

4 hours

Savings / Impact

$50,000+ ransom

Users Affected

20

The Problem

A 20-employee medical practice clicked a phishing link and had their patient scheduling system encrypted by ransomware. They had no recent backups and were turning away patients.

What We Did

We isolated the infected machine, identified the ransomware variant, restored from a cloud backup we had implemented 6 months prior, and hardened their email security with advanced phishing filters.

The Results

  • Full recovery in 4 hours — no ransom paid
  • Zero patient data lost
  • Email phishing filters now block 99% of threats
  • Practice was back to full schedule the next day
“We had no idea how vulnerable we were. Nessco didn't just fix the problem — they made sure it can't happen again.”

Retail Chain: Wi-Fi Overhaul for 5 Locations

Resolution Time

1 week

Savings / Impact

$8,000/yr lost sales

Users Affected

45

The Problem

A 5-location retail chain had spotty Wi-Fi that was hurting their POS systems, inventory scanners, and customer experience. Each store had a different router setup with no central management.

What We Did

We standardized all 5 locations with enterprise-grade access points, set up a cloud-managed network, separated POS traffic from guest Wi-Fi, and implemented monitoring to catch issues before they affect sales.

The Results

  • POS downtime went from 3-4 incidents/month to zero
  • Network issues now detected and fixed remotely before stores notice
  • Guest Wi-Fi now a marketing tool (email capture)
  • One dashboard manages all 5 locations
“Our registers don't go down anymore. That alone was worth the investment.”
