Daresbury-based cloud provider ConvergeTS win £1 million contract

Daresbury-based Converge Technology Specialists (ConvergeTS), a dedicated cloud computing provider for law firms, has signed its first £1 million contract, with East of England firm Bridge McFarland.

The five-year contract will see ConvergeTS supply a fully-managed cloud service to Bridge McFarland, which has 21 partners and offices in Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, and London.

Bridge McFarland’s managing partner Richard Parnell said: “ConvergeTS was recommended by an external IT consultant.

“What swayed the firm’s decision to go with Converge was that they were plain-speaking, they came across as very professional, and when we went to see them we were impressed, and formed a rapport with them.

“Looking forward, we want an IT system that is resilient, and to work with Converge in partnership.

“We also have the added peace of mind that if teething problems arise we know we can just pick up the phone or email them and they will respond.”

ConvergeTS’s founder and managing director, Nigel Wright, said: “We also felt that after meeting with Bridge McFarland during due diligence visits, there was a real synergy between us.

“We were also heartened by the firm’s appreciation of our experience in dealing with key application vendors.

“The cloud is the future for the legal industry and as the only provider dedicated to law firms; we are in a prime position to expand our reach.

“It is a major step for law firms to move to a hosted solution, but we have the experience to ease them through the process.”
