LexisNexis has announced that Foley & Lardner LLP has selected the LexisNexis data center in Dayton, Ohio as its primary systems hosting center.
A leading law firm with more than 1,000 lawyers in 17 US and two international offices, Foley & Lardner selected LexisNexis to host their primary data center, using their own data center as back-up.
"IT has become such a critical part of our client service offerings that an industrial strength' 24x7x365 data center was quickly becoming a necessity. Operating globally there is no longer room for downtime, said Doug Caddell, CIO at Foley & Lardner.
"The firm looked at a number of data centers from major providers, Caddell said. "After a nine month review process LexisNexis was selected for a number of reasons. LexisNexis knowledge of the legal industry was a benefit, and the company's reliance on their own data centers to support their core business 24x7 was an important factor as well. At Foley we look for partners. We believe that LexisNexis will be a significant partner in our IT future.
