Case Study: Quarles & Brady achieves faster document transfers and reduced costs with Riverbed Acceleration solutions

Law Firm Boosts Document Transfer Speed and Reduces Costs by Implementing Riverbed® Acceleration Solutions

Quarles & Brady, a 130+-year-old law firm with more than 500 attorneys and over 1,100 users, faced slow document upload, download, and transfer times that hampered productivity, raised attorney fees, and challenged a hybrid, distributed workforce—especially in high-latency offices. Fast, reliable access to client files was essential to maintain service levels and control costs.

Quarles deployed Riverbed SteelHead starting in 2005 and added Riverbed Client Accelerator during the pandemic to extend acceleration to remote users. The combined solution cut transfer times from minutes to seconds, lowered bandwidth and operational costs, simplified the IT infrastructure, and delivered fast, secure access for on-site and remote staff.
