SafeGuard iT, a leading business continuity provider in SA, has further enhanced its service offerings with the launch of SafeGuard Planning Solutions (SPS), which provides a range of consulting services that assists organisations in developing business continuity plans by ensuring it always reflects the needs of the business.
"This is an important move for SafeGuard, in our objective to extend and strengthen our business offerings. As more people need more access to more information, our goal is to add continually to our ability to offer a reliable and consistent service to clients with highly innovative products and services that can protect the flow of information throughout their organisations," explains Bernard Vertenten, MD of SafeGuard iT, a joint venture between the AST Group and US-based SunGard.
SPS understands that ensuring information availability for an organisation requires an understanding of an organisation`s business processes, technologies, priorities, dependencies and vulnerabilities.
"We understand the importance and complexity of information management and protection issues, which make it increasingly difficult to design and implement solutions without expert assistance," explains Billie-Jean Coetzee of SafeGuard Planning Solutions.
"Through our local knowledge and leveraging off international experience, SPS can assist organisations in developing risk-based contingency plans and recovery solutions enabling them to develop relevant and cost-effective strategies for business survival," adds Coetzee.
SafeGuard iT supports its customers with a variety of platforms, ranging from mainframe to numerous Unix and client server platforms. It ensures that its customers have access to exactly the right contingency measures to safeguard them against system failure in even the most demanding and complex corporate environments. SafeGuard currently has High-Availability Computer Facility facilities in Midrand and Randburg.
