Integris, a national IT-managed service provider, plans to establish a legal practice focused on servicing law firms across the country. This initiative reflects Integris’ commitment to the legal industry’s IT, cybersecurity, and compliance needs. Greg Cooke, who brings over 15 years of experience, has been appointed as VP of Sales for the new practice. This marks Integris’ second specialized industry vertical, following the launch of its Financial Institution Division in 2023.
Why do we care?
This isn’t necessarily new. I wanted to observe the verticalization of some providers, building specific practice areas to serve customers. Rather than be built around a technology, the organizations are built around a vertical and have expertise in that vertical. This is similar to the way law or accounting practices would be built.
Integris is private equity backed. This is notable just because of their options for growth based on funding. I’d expect to see more providers built in this manner.
