Increasing remote working capabilities while reducing IT costs

RWK Goodman is a dynamic and ambitious firm, and one of the leading and fastest growing law firms in its regions. Like most law firms, ensuring their employees are able to seamlessly transition between office and remote location working has now become a key part of their business strategy.

We recognized the need to provide flexible working solutions however our aging technology estate consisting of various manufacturer desktop and laptops and specifications lacked the ability for us to move forward quickly and placed excessive time demands and costs on our IT and HelpDesk departments. We needed a partner who understood technology, could provide us with varying financial options and help us design an IT road map for our future. Dave Eagle - IT Operations Manager

“Innovent provided us with a very high quality, cost-effective solution and put the entire company onto one standardised laptop platform. Our own green credentials and desire to support the circular economy are very important to us so the sustainability benefits of refurbished laptops were an attractive added bonus and overall provided more than a traditional lease offering” Dave Eagle - IT Operations Manager
