Professional Services Continuity
A sample case study showing how a multi-site professional services firm can preserve access to files and client workflows during a regional outage.
A 90-person firm with three offices
The firm relied on cloud document storage, SaaS project management, Microsoft 365, and centralized identity. A regional ISP incident left two offices unable to reach critical cloud services for most of a business day.
- Teams could not open current client files
- Project deadlines and approvals stalled
- Staff used personal hotspots inconsistently
- Leadership had no tested offline procedure
Business impact
Billable work slowed, client communications became fragmented, and staff spent hours improvising instead of delivering work.
