Run your practice software, documents and Microsoft Office on a hosted Windows desktop in Canadian data centres. Every sign-in uses MFA, backups are included, and lawyers get the same desktop at the office, at home or at court, for one monthly price quoted in writing.
Tell us your headcount and the software you use. We'll size it and set up a free proof of concept.
We won't sell your data or send you marketing you didn't ask for.
Client files spread across laptops, home computers and email are hard to protect and hard to account for. A hosted desktop keeps them in one place, in Canada, with access you control.
Documents are opened and saved on the server, not the device. A lost or stolen laptop becomes a hardware problem, not a confidentiality problem.
In Ontario, the Law Society's Rules of Professional Conduct address technology in the commentary to the competence rule. Commentary [4A] to rule 3.1-2 says a lawyer "should develop an understanding of, and ability to use, technology relevant to the nature and area of the lawyer's practice and responsibilities", including the benefits and risks of that technology for protecting confidential information. It's guidance on competence rather than a technical checklist, and we help you show you've met it.

Our Compliance ApproachOne written monthly price per user covers the desktop, the infrastructure under it and the support. These come with every hosted desktop, not as add-ons.
Desktop applications run on the hosted server, and browser-based tools such as Clio run on the same desktop with the same MFA and access controls.
The same desktop at the office, at home or at court, with the files staying in one place.
Windows-based practice management, accounting and document tools run on the hosted desktop next to Microsoft Office, patched and kept current by our team.
Documents are opened and saved on the server, so nothing client-related needs to live on a laptop or a home computer.
The same desktop from the office, home, court or a client's office. Staff can use older machines or personal devices without files leaving the server.
Outlook, Word and Teams on the hosted desktop, with MFA, conditional access and controlled external sharing with clients.
Local and offsite geo-redundant backups come with the platform as standard, so a deleted file or a bad day can be recovered.
Your firm gets its own dedicated application server, not a shared desktop, reached through a secure front end.
MFA on every sign-in, managed EDR, immutable backups and a documented incident response plan: the controls insurers ask about at renewal.
We handle the handover from your current IT provider and move your files and applications across, so the firm keeps working while it happens.
No big-bang cutover. You see your own applications running on the hosted desktop before you decide anything.
We set up your own applications on a hosted desktop so your team can test them with real files.
We size the server for your headcount and software and send a written monthly price per user.
Your files and applications move to the hosted server. Every user signs in with MFA, from the office or from home.
We patch, back up and monitor the platform. Critical issues have a 15-minute response target.
The hosted platform carries a 99.9% uptime guarantee, and backups are included rather than sold as an add-on.
Office, home or court: every login to the hosted desktop uses multi-factor authentication.
Files live on the server, not the endpoint, so a lost or compromised laptop does not mean lost or leaked records.
Access set by role, so people reach the folders and applications they should, and nothing else.
We maintain Windows, your applications and the servers underneath them.
When someone leaves, their access to the desktop and its files is removed the same day.
Backups verified by actually restoring them, not assumed from a green tick in a dashboard.
NetFusion Designs has been very responsive and knowledgeable. Moving to the NetFusion Designs cloud was one of our best decisions for my business.
Generally yes. Canadian law societies have published guidance rather than bans: the expectation is that you do your due diligence on the provider, know where the data is kept and protect confidentiality. We document the setup so you can show that diligence. The professional judgement stays with you.
In Canadian data centres, including the backups.
Yes. Desktop applications such as PCLaw or Amicus run on the hosted server, and browser-based tools such as Clio run on the same desktop with the same MFA and access controls. We confirm your exact setup in the proof of concept.
No. The processing happens on our servers, so staff can work from older machines, personal laptops or tablets, and you can stretch your hardware refresh cycle.
Yes. The platform is designed for firms that want to start small. A small firm gets the same Canadian hosting, MFA and backups as a large one, sized and priced for its headcount.
Yes. We build a free proof of concept with your own applications so you can test it before making any decision.
Your files and session are untouched, because they live on the hosted server. Sign in from another device with MFA and carry on.
Less than most firms expect. We handle the handover: collecting passwords and documentation from your current provider, taking over Microsoft 365 and your backups, and moving support across without interrupting billable work.
Yes. Renewal questionnaires now ask about multi-factor authentication, tested backups, endpoint detection and response, and email security. We put those controls in place, document them, and help you answer the questionnaire accurately, because a wrong answer can put a claim at risk.
Request a free proof of concept. We set up your applications on a hosted desktop, your team tries it, and we send a written monthly quote.
