SecureData, a member of the of JSE-listed ERP.com group, today announced it has become the sole Sub-Saharan distributor for Cibecs, a privately-owned software development company, originally established in South Africa, and focused on the areas of enterprise-wide, secure, automated disc-to-disc backup and recovery of critical data on servers, desktops and notebooks.
"We are delighted to be associated with a business partner of the calibre of SecureData," commented Richard Dewing, MD of Cibecs. "They are perfectly positioned to provide this critical solution to medium and large companies throughout Africa and we look forward to successfully working with them into the future."
"Most companies rely upon users to save their data to centralised file servers, but this rarely happens," continued Dewing. "Furthermore, it is impossible to monitor that it is being done; users lose data and the IT department is always seen to be at fault. With between 60% and 80% of all data residing on desktops and notebooks, companies simply cannot take the risk of protecting only the data on servers and ignore protecting the bulk of their data resident on the PCs of their users.
"Cibecs Continuity provides the IT department with the capability to centrally control and enforce the protection of all data, and provide management with essential audit reports that will ensure compliance with corporate governance regulations."
"We are always looking for value added opportunities to add to our product portfolio," added Dean Brazier, MD of SecureData and CEO of ERP.com. "Cibecs offers us a capability in an area which is so often neglected by most companies and software providers, thus offering us a more complete set of solutions that we can offer to our prospective clients through our subsidiary companies."
Cibecs is a leading South African software development company with a focus on the much neglected discipline of cost-effective, enterprise-wide protection and migration of user and mobile user data. It provides innovative, cost-effective business continuity solutions to small and large organisations globally.
