Legal technology leader adopts cloud-first architecture to scale operations and improve collaboration
A leading legal technology organization accelerated modernization, strengthened security, and improved operational resilience by partnering with Vaco by Highspring for cloud enablement, application transformation, and high-impact talent solutions.
The challenge
A leading legal technology organization needed to modernize its legacy .NET architecture and fragmented infrastructure environment. Its on-premises systems limited scalability and hindered collaboration across development, cloud, and security teams. In order to meet critical compliance requirements and support growth, the company needed to accelerate modernization and ensure application resilience, laying the foundation for a more agile and future-ready technology environment.
Our solution
Vaco partnered with the organization to lead a multi-phase modernization program that included full-stack modernization, cloud and infrastructure enablement, cybersecurity reinforcement, and strategic delivery support. Through a customized, integrated talent solution, Vaco delivered the right engineering, infrastructure, and security expertise at the right time to drive execution across the company’s technology roadmap.
Vaco helped transition the company from legacy .NET frameworks to a modern React/Node.js/GraphQL architecture, improving scalability and performance. Azure-based hybrid environments with CI/CD automation were implemented to strengthen DevOps delivery and system uptime, while a dedicated SecOps and cybersecurity function was established to enhance identity management, threat detection, and compliance.
Finally, Vaco supplied high-impact contract and contract-to-hire talent across development, infrastructure, and security disciplines to support continuous transformation and ensure the organization could execute on its roadmap effectively.
Our impact
As a result of the multi-phase modernization program, the company improved operational resilience, accelerated delivery cycles, and strengthened security across its technology environment. Key results included:
- 20+ high-impact talent placements across the company’s engineering, infrastructure, DevOps, and security teams
- 40% faster release cycles through Agile and CI/CD adoption
- Strengthened security posture with proactive monitoring and endpoint governance
- Future-ready architecture supporting AI integration and advanced client capabilities
These outcomes positioned the company for scalable growth, enabling a more agile, secure, and innovative technology environment.
