Odessa, FL, October 15, 2009 - RevITup™ Legal Business Care Managed IT Services Series
The Launch Pad announces RevITup™ Legal Business Care Managed IT Services Series.  In an economic climate where almost 15,000 jobs have been cut in the legal sector, partner-based, managed IT services can help firms realize as much as 50% savings on technology spending. 

“Despite these difficult financial times, many small and medium-sized law firms are using their ingenuity to find ways to grow and prosper.  For small and mid-sized firms that want to survive and thrive in this challenging climate, properly managing core technology systems which house and protect the lifeblood of the company is a key factor in success.  Poor technology management can be devastating to a small law firm, particularly if data loss is involved,” explains Launch Pad founder and CEO, Ilene Rosoff.  read more >>

The Launch Pad has recently been featured in a 2-part webinar series sponsored by ChannelPro Magazine.  The series, entitled “A Managed Services Franchise Model - Your Ticket to Fast Growth”, provides a sneak peek of The Launch Pad’s managed services franchise offering.  The goal of the franchise program is to build an airtight framework for those who have a passion for this business to be able to succeed and excel over and over again.  What we hope to achieve is a franchise model with a different spin; one that is not only technically best of breed, but progressive, relevant, and allows the franchisee to put his or her mark on the business and give back to the community - a kind of grassroots franchising.
