Case Study - Direct Telecommunications (London) Ltd
Caution paid off for Direct Telecommunications when they suffered a complete loss of data as the result of a system crash. As clients of DataSafe Services they were able to retrieve their data within half an hour, with minimal disruption to the continuation of their business. A seller and installer of telephone systems to business and residential sectors, Direct Telecommunications has a huge database of customer details. From the outset, the company’s managing director David Henning, recognised the importance of data back up: “Even with just three computers, I was well aware of the problems which my company would face if we were to lose any data. With expansion and the growth of our customer database, I felt we should implement a more regular system than we could undertake ourselves. It also seemed safer to outsource the responsibility of such a vital task to experienced professionals.” Now with a network of eight computers Direct Telecommunications also use the service to back up their accounts information. In any business, budgetary controls are always important and cost was one of the reasons why Direct Telecommunications selected DataSafe. “Not only is the service very easy to run but it is relatively inexpensive. We feel that it’s very good value for money”.
