Orion Cloud

Searching for a full-featured Cloud Solution?

Financial Management in the Cloud

Law firms need a solution to deploy robust software without the associated traditional overhead costs. Through the use of modern and mobile technology, Orion is able to provide this via the Cloud. The Cloud refers to software that is accessible through the internet and is provided on a contract basis, but maintains the complete functionality of our renowned Orion software. By utilizing a Cloud deployment, the firm is able to save on labor and capital investment.

Benefits of a Cloud Solution

The Orion Cloud offering provides our full-featured Financial Management software (including Time, Billing, Accounting, etc.) without the need for specialized hardware or installation. Gone are the days of being tied to accessing your data strictly from your office. The Cloud offers you the flexibility of a secure mobile office wherever internet access is available.
Now, timekeepers at your firm will enjoy the same functionality at a coffee shop as they would at their desk in the office.

Encryption Services

Communication to and from Orion’s hosted environment is encrypted through a 128-bit Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). This level of end-to-end protection makes electronic eavesdropping practically impossible, whether the user is working from their law office, home or a public Wi-Fi network. Orion implements software-enabled internal security, which is built directly into the Orion software, Worldox and other applications in order to restrict individual users’ access to specific data or software routines compatible with their employment designation and/or job responsibilities.

High Availability

Orion’s data center is housed in a state-of-the-art colocation center managed by a Tier 1 multinational Internet Services Provider and an undisputed leader in the field. Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) and backup generators ensure continuous service should the power grid ever fail. The facility is both SAS 70 Type II and PCI Schedule C compliant. Fully-encrypted backups are performed of each firm’s data continuously throughout the day and periodically sent to three separate data centers (geo-redundancy). This multi-layered backup strategy ensures should one replicate copy of any backup fail, there are multiple other copies available.

Data Isolation

Each law firm’s software and data resides on its own private Cloud within the Orion data center, along with its own individual URL address. Different law firms do not share databases and each firm’s data is segregated from all others.

Firewall & Anti-Virus

The data center is also protected by sophisticated firewall and anti-virus/ anti-spam technology which employs both reputation-enabled defenses and virus-spam-malware intrusion protection which blocks and drops potential attacks seeking access to the data entrusted to Orion. Most viruses and spam are caught and filtered even before entering the internal network. For items that do, Orion has a secondary anti-virus filtering process for added protection. This multi-tiered approach offers the strongest protection possible.

Through the usage of modern technology and superior services, Orion provides law firms with a highly secure environment should they decide against an in-house software deployment. If your management team is concerned about the security of their most important data, a Cloud deployment of Orion’s Financial Management software is an excellent solution.
