Getting Real in a Virtual World
Rennert Vogel Mandler & Rodriguez, P.A. (Rennert Vogel) is a mid-size business law firm located in Miami. Our office is home to approximately 30 attorneys, with an additional 50 employees providing support and conducting administrative tasks. The firm provides a full range of legal services to real estate, commercial and financial enterprises, as well as to individuals and entrepreneurs, and our success has paralleled the economic development of Miami and South Florida over the past few decades.
When it comes to IT, the mandate from our Managing Partner, Chuck Rennert, has always been: “Get something good that works.” I'm an aggressive cost-containment oriented person. However, as those in IT would surely agree, it's good to have a decision-maker that is practical and forward thinking when it comes to technology investments. To “nickel and dime” in the short-term is a recipe for disaster when attempting to create an infrastructure that will answer immediate and future IT demands. With this in mind, when we began looking at virtualization ' heralded as a tech area that can shape the fortunes of an organization ' I realized the initiative would need to be approached cautiously to achieve our goals and ensure strong ROI.
