Fisher Jones Greenwood stays connected with Six Degrees next generation network

Peter Carr, Partner and Head of IT, at Fisher Jones Greenwood states: “Because the Six Degrees team understands our business and business needs, it is much more than a provider of communication infrastructure to us, they are a valued strategic partner that obviously listen to their clients. Our inter-office data and voice communication is now extremely reliable, with traffic that is shaped and prioritised via Six Degrees’ platform in order to guarantee quality.”

Fisher Jones Greenwood LLP is an award-winning and innovative law firm based in Central London and throughout Essex. With 30 years’ experience and over 160 lawyers, paralegals and support staff, the firm provides a full range of commercial and private legal services. The firm is dedicated to providing the highest levels of customer experience, embracing new technologies, such as a same-day response service and an expansive website, and has been one of the area’s fastest- growing firms for over a decade.

As a rapidly growing firm with plans to expand to new locations, the team at Fisher Jones Greenwood had to deal with the challenge of getting its IT and telecoms up and running and, thus, completely ready for when staff were set to move in.

Six Degrees now provides MPLS connectivity and SIP telephony to Fisher Jones Greenwood’s five office locations on the Six Degrees’ Next Generation Network (NGN). Six Degrees L3VPN service addresses Fisher Jones Greenwood’s need for a multi-site solution and to keep traffic flowing 24x7x365. The L3VPN service runs across Six Degrees’ NGN which is completely resilient across the core nodes with the ability to re-route in less than 50 milliseconds.

Carr concludes: “Because Six Degrees manage all our connectivity for us, provisioning new services and office locations is much simpler. Six Degrees’ end-to-end approach manages the sales, provisioning and circuit handover in a highly professional manner. This same end-to-end ethos carries through to the NOC teams monitoring our communications network, providing us with early warning to any potential disruption.”

Benefits include:

• Optimum efficiency and connectivity between all branch locations and with the cloud
• High level of reliability to support business growth
• Mature portfolio of services suited to the law firm’s requirements
