That’s a wrap on ILTACON 2026!

Eli Nussbaum and Martin Catania had a great week in Nashville representing PSM Partners, connecting with the legal technology community, and participating in two ILTACON panels.

Beyond the sessions, ILTACON provided a valuable opportunity to reconnect with familiar faces, build new relationships, and have meaningful conversations with legal professionals about the technology challenges and opportunities they’re navigating every day.

From maximizing the Microsoft ecosystem to navigating the realities of AI support in legal environments, Eli and Martin enjoyed sharing their perspectives while learning from others across the industry.

Thank you to everyone who connected with our team throughout the week, and to ILTA for bringing the legal technology community together!

Cybersecurity isn’t one-size-fits-all. Protecting your organization requires securing multiple layers of your technology environment.

From the network connecting your systems, to the devices your employees use every day, to the data and applications stored in the cloud, each layer introduces different risks. A strong cybersecurity strategy brings them together through three core areas: network security, endpoint security, and cloud security.

In our latest blog, we break down what each type of cybersecurity protects, why it matters, and how they work together to create a stronger defense against evolving threats.

Learn about the 3 major types of cybersecurity and where your organization may have gaps:

A successful acquisition requires looking beyond the financials. The technology behind the business can have a significant impact on the value of the deal, the integration process, and future growth.

Outdated systems, cybersecurity gaps, duplicate software, and unsupported infrastructure can lead to unexpected costs, operational disruptions, and delays after an acquisition.

PSM’s Technology Due Diligence helps private equity firms and portfolio companies uncover potential risks early, identify opportunities for improvement, and develop a practical roadmap for a smoother integration.

Protect the value of the deal by knowing what’s beneath the surface before day one.

AI has a way of uncovering the things organizations have been able to work around for years.

Poor permissions, unmanaged content, outdated data and inconsistent processes may not always be obvious, until AI makes that information easier to access and those gaps harder to ignore.

In “AI Will Expose You. Are You Ready?”, Dave Johnson, Practice Manager, Financial Services, breaks down why organizations need to get their IT foundation in order as AI adoption continues to grow, and what they should be addressing now to prepare.

This blog kicks off Dave’s new series, “Notes From A CIO’s Desk,” where he’ll share practical insights and lessons from his experience helping organizations navigate IT strategy, governance and change.

There’s nothing better than a summer day at Wrigley with the PSM Partners team and our families!

For this year’s PSM Family Day, we headed to the Wrigley Rooftops to cheer on the Cubs and enjoy an afternoon together outside of the office. From great views of the game to plenty of food and drinks, we enjoyed spending time with family, friends and coworkers. It was a great way to celebrate the people who make up the PSM community.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and made the day so much fun. We’re already looking forward to the next one!

Celebrating 5 Years at PSM Partners!

Today, we’re celebrating Nick Chiocca’s 5-year anniversary with PSM Partners!

As our Junior Deployment Manager, Nick plays an important role in keeping deployments organized, efficient, and moving forward while supporting our team and clients every step of the way.

Cody Muller, Senior Deployment Manager, shares:
“For the past five years, Nick has been a trusted leader and valued teammate within Deployment Services. His ability to navigate change, solve complex challenges, and support those around him has helped drive our team's success. He leads by example through his professionalism, accountability, and commitment to excellence. The impact he has made extends well beyond individual projects, influencing the growth of our team and the quality of service we provide. We are fortunate to have him as part of our organization and proud to celebrate this significant milestone with him.”

Thank you, Nick, for five years of hard work, dedication, and everything you bring to the PSM team. We’re lucky to have you!

Opening a new office? Your network strategy should be part of the conversation before the lease is signed.

Connectivity limitations, carrier lead times, bandwidth needs, security requirements, and physical infrastructure can all impact whether a new location is truly ready for business.

In our latest blog, PSM Partners’ Andy Martin breaks down what organizations should evaluate when planning a new office, including:
- Fiber availability and carrier options
- Bandwidth and future growth
- Network security and connectivity
- Voice and collaboration tools
- Cabling, Wi-Fi, and physical infrastructure

The earlier IT is involved, the easier it is to avoid delays, unexpected costs, and day-one disruptions.

MFA is an important layer of security, but it shouldn’t be the last.

As cyber threats become more sophisticated, protecting your organization requires a layered approach. Identity and access management, zero trust security, endpoint protection, and continuous monitoring all play a role in reducing risk and strengthening your overall security posture.

The question isn’t just whether you have MFA. It’s what comes next?
