National Top-100 Law Firm Partners with vCom
Duane Morris LLP, among the 100 largest law firms in the United States,
is a full-service firm of more than 600 lawyers. With offices in major markets,
and as part of an international network of independent law firms, Duane
Morris represents clients across the nation and around the world. Lawyers
who are leaders in a range of legal disciplines and have diverse backgrounds
join Duane Morris in order to use the latest technology, professional support
staff and other resources in pursuit of clients' goals.
John Sroka, Duane Morris' CIO, and his team of capable IT professionals
have built a state of the art network infrastructure. The firm's resources
are unsurpassed by those at any major law firm; they enable its attorneys
working around the globe, to communicate and collaborate effectively. Duane
Morris' clients also benefit from the contributions of professional-level
support staff who maintain the firm's technological and administrative infrastructure
and enable lawyers to focus on providing valuable counsel and service to
their clients.
As part of acquiring a regional law firm in Northern California, Hancock
Rothert & Bunshoft LLP (HRB), Mr. Sroka became familiar with vCom's capabilities
and its value proposition in providing consolidation, support and savings
in carrier services on a national level. vCom had helped HRB architect a
converged data, voice and video network infrastructure in 2004, in addition
to providing significant savings on Local, Long Distance, Data and Internet
Services through best-of-breed Tier 1 and Tier 2 providers.
Duane Morris and vCom entered into a renewed partnership, with vCom providing
national support for Duane Morris' local dial tone services. In Southern
CA, vCom facilitated the expeditious move to new offices, while ensuring
a seamless and timely transition of local telephone numbers. With vCom's
help, Duane Morris implemented new voice services in their San Francisco
office, now housing all of Duane's and HRB's staff in the SF Bay Area. The
new architecture implied last mile diversity and transport neutrality; multiple
tandem architecture and redundant central office connections; and congestion
free trunking. In Atlanta, Miami, and Chicago, vCom's new services afforded
Duane fault tolerance, augmented trunking, and reduced' monthly cost up
to 25%.
"We are excited to have won Duane Morris' trust, and feel privileged to
be working with a team of professionals on the caliber of Mr. Sroka and
his staff" said Sameer Hilal, COO of vCom Solutions. "We look forward to
a strong partnership, based on providing superior service to Duane Morris
for years to come."
