“The digital transformation of the legal industry has accelerated the migration of critical enterprise applications and data to the cloud. Our expansion with the addition of Pinnacle enhances our ability to assist clients with their cloud migration challenges, and deliver managed services on an ongoing basis,” said Matt Sunderman, CEO of Harbor. “It also enables Harbor to anchor the services we provide in the UK and Europe and build our presence in Asia Pacific, meaning we can offer our broader portfolio in international markets. This access to global talent that we now offer our clients is exceptional.”
