Case Study: Pett Franklin achieves secure, flexible hosted desktops and reduced IT burden with OGL Computer

Prestigious law firm selects OGL to take its infrastructure into the cloud

Pett Franklin, a seven‑person Birmingham law firm specialising in tax, incentives and employee share plans, was struggling with unreliable on‑premise servers, disruptive provider support, security risks from office break‑ins and a growing need for flexible remote access. To resolve these issues they engaged OGL Computer and chose OGL’s hosted desktop solution to remove the burden of server maintenance and enable staff to access their desktops from any internet‑connected device.

OGL Computer planned and managed a seamless migration of desktops and user data to its hosted desktop service, taking over patch management, user administration and OS updates in a secure data‑centre environment. The move gave Pett Franklin secure remote access from home and other offices, eliminated on‑site server upkeep and large capital expenditure in favor of predictable monthly costs, and improved data security with 24‑hour facility protection—transforming how the firm works and increasing resilience and cash flow.
