Optimizing User Adoption Through a Cloud-to-Cloud Communications Transition at a Law Firm

Client Overview

The Challenge

A national law firm had implemented a cloud-based unified communications platform that met technical requirements but created adoption challenges among long-tenured staff. Many users found the call-handling experience inconsistent with the workflows they had relied on for years, leading to frustration and reduced confidence in the platform.

Recognizing that user experience and operational comfort were critical to success—particularly in a high-pressure legal environment—the organization sought to reassess its communications platform to better align with established calling workflows while maintaining the benefits of a modern cloud solution.

    • Familiar call management experience

    • Alignment with long-standing operational practices
  • Translation of historical workflow expectations into modern platform requirements
  • Guidance to balance user comfort with modernization objectives

The Outcome

  • Successful cloud-to-cloud transition to a communications platform aligned with established calling workflows

  • Reduced friction during the transition by honoring familiar operational patterns
