Don't let blackouts extinguish your communication power

Johannesburg, 12 Feb 2008

Loss of communication lines in business is one of the most infuriating and costly consequences of the recent spate of continuous power outages in many regions throughout South Africa.

Integr8 IS, a division of the Integr8 Group, advocates the use of Preserv8, an e-mail archive retention and messaging platform to ensure timely, secure and reliable messaging.

"The software as a service solution is hosted off site at multiple secure, self-powered environments which are not affected by issues such as load-shedding," explains Deon Robertson, CEO at Integr8 IS.

"This translates to e-mail continuity without any disruption, which is obviously a major consideration for any business operating under current conditions."

Preserv8 forms part of Integr8 IT's portfolio of managed services and is designed to address the challenges faced by companies in having to comply with legislation governing electronic mail management.

The manufacture and release of this technology has grabbed the interest of the local market due to the global attention it has received.

"We are excited about its early progress within the domestic market, and about the interest shown by international businesses who are importing locally developed technology and infrastructure," adds Robertson.

Roberson acknowledges that the product's key function of storage of electronic data in an encrypted format in a secure data vault makes it one of the stronger solutions available.

Each item contains a full-trace dataset of forensic information, including proof of delivery to facilitate non-repudiation.

"While we are very excited about the prospect of establishing a footprint for this offering globally, we are equally aware of just how much this technology means for the local environment. The fact is that users cannot operate competitive, profit-driven organisations without power - it detracts substantially from critical factors such as business continuity and consistency," says Robertson.
