How many lawyers does it take to change a light bulb? Three: one to change the bulb, one to figure out how to enter the time into the timekeeping software, and one to call tech support when the computer crashes.

Your time is too valuable to waste on IT headaches. We thrive on alleviating your headaches.

As an service professional, you need technology that works reliably and efficiently to help you manage the matters you oversee. You also need to be able to assure your clients that the confidential information they have entrusted to you is safe and secure. Larger firms usually have in-house IT teams with double-digit headcount to oversee their technology and address any issues that may arise. Professionals at smaller firms often have the same pressing technology needs, but lack the time or resources to build a robust IT department from the ground up. In these instances, the burden of overseeing the firm’s IT usually falls to a partner, associate, analyst, operations manager, or a single IT technician – someone who does not have the expertise or bandwidth to serve as a chief technology officer but must nonetheless do the job of a CTO in addition to his or her other duties.

But your time and your team’s time is too valuable to spend on dealing with technology-related headaches. Every minute you spend troubleshooting or diagnosing technology issues is a minute you cannot bill. Every ounce of mental energy you devote to worrying about your firm’s technology would be better spent on growing your practice and serving your clients. You need someone whose job it is to manage your firm’s technology so you can focus on what you do best.

Enter BuildMyFirm. BuildMyFirm is a full-service technology management firm that provides IT services exclusively to professional services firms. We enable smaller firms to operate like larger firms by giving them access to CTO-level IT management resources and expertise that are dedicated to serving service professionals without requiring them to take on the overhead of an in-house CTO or full-service IT team. We proactively monitor, maintain, and support your firm’s technology infrastructure to minimize the occurrence of issues and promptly address any rare issues that may arise. We also provide strategic direction on building and optimizing your IT infrastructure to ensure that your firm can scale and adapt to a constantly-changing landscape. By working with BuildMyFirm, you are adding a chief information officer to your team at a fraction of the cost of hiring your own full-time CIO.

BuildMyFirm is attorney-founded, attorney-run, and caters exclusively to white collar service professionals, so we understand the unique aspects of a professional services firm’s technology needs. We have first-hand experience with the same requirements and challenges that you face. Furthermore, we understand that your time is best spent serving your clients and growing your practice; spending time solving IT problems should not be a part of your job description.
