date: October 2005 |
| DataFort,
the leading UK provider of off-site data backup, today
announced that Globe Micro, a leading UK IT solutions
provider, has taken advantage of its SELF-BILLING Dealership
programme. Globe Micro has been able to re-brand DataFort’s
data backup service and offer it to customers as part
of their total IT solutions. |
| Globe
Micro provides complete outsourced IT departments to
nearly 100 sites in the UK. “Data backup is a
critical service for our customer base, we were keen
to move from our original service provider (Novastor
based in the US), to a local, UK based-company that
could offer second line support to our clients on UK
time,” states Chief Executive of Globe Micro,
Lucien Bartram. |
| CEO
and Founder of DataFort, Gavin Smith, comments, “We
offer re-sellers commercially superior solution to in-house
data backup. We achieve this by providing re-sellers
with an enterprise quality service that would cost far
more to implement and decrease their margins significantly.
By reselling the ‘brandable’ DataFort service
suite, channel partners are able to forgo the considerable
costs associated with backup like software licensing,
hardware purchase and service management and focus capital
on marketing and other areas with a definable R.O.I.” |
| Bartram
adds, “After looking at the data backup service
providers in the UK we decided on DataFort for its competitive
pricing, ease of use and proximity to our offices. It
was important to us that we chose a provider that we
could build strong relationships with, and one that
has been established in the UK market for some years.” |
| Globe
Micro has already migrated eight of its major clients
over to the DataFort service and are proactively advising
new and existing clients of the benefits of data backup
provided by DataFort. |
