Virtual Desktop for Law Firms is a managed virtual desktop and application delivery product offered by NovaCore Systems under its NovaCore Connect platform, built specifically around the technology and security needs of legal practices.

Key features and functions include:

Centralized Desktop Access
Attorneys and staff can securely access a complete Windows desktop environment, case files, billing systems, and legal applications from the office, home, or while traveling, rather than depending on individual office machines.

Legal Software Compatibility

Data Security and Centralization
Client data and applications are kept within a centralized, managed environment rather than distributed across individual devices, which NovaCore Systems positions as a way to reduce exposure from local machines.

Multi-Office and Remote Work Support
The service is designed to give firms with multiple office locations, hybrid schedules, or traveling attorneys a consistent desktop and application experience regardless of device or location.

Reduced IT Maintenance
By centralizing the desktop environment, the service is intended to reduce the time firms spend on individual computer maintenance, software updates, and related IT support needs.

Managed Setup and Support
NovaCore Systems handles configuration, ongoing administration, updates, backups, and performance management of the virtual desktop environment for client firms.

Platform Architecture
The underlying NovaCore Connect platform runs on Parallels Remote Application Server (RAS) technology. NovaCore Systems states it is staffed by a Parallels RAS Certified Technical Professional (Advanced level).

Company Context
