The challenge

Corporate meeting

Secure mobility at scale with legacy application complexity

The bottleneck: partner device diversity, legacy application dependencies, and strict data isolation requirements

Legal Services Consortium faced a critical challenge: partners required secure access from any device and any location, legacy applications critical to case management could not be easily modernized, network conditions varied significantly across offices, and strict client data isolation requirements were non-negotiable.

The engagement called for implementing a modern cloud-based workspace that could provide secure partner access, maintain legacy application compatibility, optimize performance across varied network conditions, ensure client data isolation, and streamline user experience across global offices.

Our approach

Cloud PC-first strategy with security and performance optimization

Teceze implemented a deliberate, security-first strategy: deploying Windows 365 Cloud PC with dedicated compute sizing per role, integrating FSLogix for roaming user profiles, configuring RDP Shortpath for optimized performance across network conditions, implementing per-client desktop isolation, and transferring knowledge to enable independent operations.

From device-bound access to secure cloud-delivered workspaces, the transformation included:

Cloud PC deployment with role-based compute sizing

Dedicated compute instances for attorneys, paralegals, and partners ensuring performance for document-intensive workflows. Hybrid Azure AD Join enabling seamless partner onboarding and device independence.

FSLogix profile management and application layering

Roaming user profiles enable partners to access their complete workspace from any location. Legacy application virtualization ensures compatibility without device-level dependencies.

RDP Shortpath optimization and network resilience

Optimized network connectivity reduces login times and improves responsiveness across global offices with varying bandwidth. Multi-protocol support ensures reliable performance in all network conditions.

Client data isolation and compliance controls

Per-client desktop boundaries ensure strict data separation. Conditional access policies enforce location-based and device-based compliance requirements for sensitive matters.

Governance and Reporting Cadence

Because this was Legal Services Consortium’s first major cloud workspace transformation, visibility mattered as much as performance. A layered governance model keeps issues visible and ensures accountability:

Cadence Forum Focus
Daily Operational stand-up Alerts, escalations, regional issues
Weekly Cloud PC performance review Login metrics, availability, partner satisfaction
Monthly Governance call Regional deployment status, compliance close-out, cost tracking
Quarterly Business review Program health, expansion roadmap, security posture updates
The Results: Q3-Q4 2025

Six months in: Cloud PC adoption ahead of baseline expectations

What the client says

“Cloud workspace initiatives can feel risky when you’re handling sensitive client matters. Teceze didn’t oversimplify the complexity—they built a solution that addresses partner mobility, legacy application dependencies, and strict data isolation in parallel. Six months in, our partners are more productive, login times are imperceptible, and we’ve had zero data isolation issues. That’s the kind of thoughtful execution that justifies major technology investments.”
