Now that technology is integrating so fully with our day-to-day lives, the concept of backing up data is more and more commonplace.  People backup their phones with iCloud or Google Cloud.  People use cloud file sharing services to have another copy of their pictures, documents, music and other personal data.  Personal computer cloud backup services like Mozy and Carbonite are well-established brands.  These trends are for very good reason—it’s a fact that data loss isn’t a matter of if, it’s a matter of when.  That’s why in any conversation about data backups, it is often said that if data doesn’t exist in at least two places, it may as well not exist.  These solutions exist for that reason, and because the explosion of tech users over the last decade has coincided with an explosion in the need for backups. 

Here at Springthrough we pride ourselves on our culture and our wide array of people with varying backgrounds and experience. In an effort to share our culture, we will be featuring at least one employee a month on our blog to share their experience and fun facts about themselves!

As a record retrieval company, Legal Copy Services (LCS) gathers data for legal, medical, and insurance companies to use in upcoming cases. Some clients request print copies, but the records also go into an online client portal for fast and easy access. For LCS, a strong IT infrastructure isn’t just a cost; it helps their business generate revenue.

There is a lot of chatter lately about Office 365 migrations. However, once I get talking with people, their definitions vary widely. The most popular feature, email, is often what people mean when they say they're interested in "Office 365". Others think of it just in terms of the office suite of programs. Still others think of it as solely a document repository. Very few consider Office 365 in its entirety as a platform.
