The Case in Brief
Following a cyberattack, Tardis Environmental experienced an IT outage that put them out of action for four days. Following this, the company hired a local IT company to provide additional support to their in-house IT Manager. However, they found that each support request came with extra charges.
WHAT WAS WRONG?
After being hacked, Tardis Environmental faced 4 days of costly downtime, followed by unexpected extra costs from their IT Support provider.
WHY THIS IS A PROBLEM
Without a Disaster Recovery solution, they were unable to access their data and their IT support provider was costing more than expected.
WHAT’S THE IMPACT?
Expensive and frustrating downtime, time and money wasted, negative impact on operations, customer service and profits.
THE SOLUTION
Our experts delivered an IT Strategy tailored to the company, including a new backup leased line, virtualisation of servers, improved security and simplified IT Support.
BUSINESS RESULTS
With a robust IT Strategy in place, the business can be confident that in the event of another outage they will be able to access their data and operate effectively.
