One of the areas that is usually impacted by cloud adoption in an organization is their IT staff. It necessarily does not lead to headcount reduction but over the years, cloud computing significantly reduces need for additional IT staff as seen at Gibbons P.C. law firm where they did not require additional IT staff over a 5 year period during with their business and number of attorneys grew significantly. SaaS is the primary mode of cloud adoption in law firms.

The legal industry is not immune to “resistance to change” when it comes to shaking up IT infrastructure and deploying newer, cheaper, and more efficient technologies such as cloud computing. In addition to the conservative mindset, there is no real business reason for established law firms to change their on-premise applications for cloud-based offerings. Another inhibitor is reliable access to business-critical information which firms need to have on-premise instead of virtually in the cloud

A big motivation for cloud adoption in legal industry is the speed at which cloud based offerings can be deployed. However, a big barrier to adoption is integration with existing on-premise enterprise applications. Only the peripheral user focused processes which have very basic integration requirements are the ones which have moved to the cloud from a legal industry standpoint. Michael mentions in this part of the interview that primary driver for selecting a cloud based offering at Gibbons is ‘business need and appropriate fit’ followed by usability, integration capability with existing systems, governance and security.
