Midlands IT experts provide solution to cable theft disruption
Midlands-based IT specialist, Netmetix, is helping companies avoid major business disruption resulting from cable thefts which have left them without any telephone or broadband connection by providing them with a cloud-based solution, Cloudmetix.
Recent cable thefts in the Midlands have not only threatened jobs, but have also put businesses at risk. Losing all communications can seriously damage companies, especially when most of them these days rely on communications as a vital part of their business operations. Modern technology, however, also offers solutions to the problems, and the flexibility and freedom of cloud computing means that businesses can move part or all of their operations offsite until the problems arising from cable theft are resolved.
The UK has seen its fair share of business disruption this year due to major sporting events such as the Olympic Games, Euro 2012 and the Queen’s Jubilee, and cable theft is placing an additional burden on businesses already struggling to navigate difficult times. Many business leaders are finding they now have to think about how their business IT strategies can help them avoid the threat arising from disruption.
Paul Blore, managing director of Netmetix, said: “With a reliable cloud solution employees will be able to work from home or any other location until the business disruption problems are resolved. This can mean all the difference and can help to stem the losses that a business may face if it cannot carry on with its day to day activities and functions.”
Netmetix is one of the first providers of a full cloud platform in the Midlands and has invested heavily in its own infrastructure by having its datacentres within the region. The company can offer a complete IT infrastructure solution for SMEs on its cloud platform, Cloudmetix, which also means reducing the total cost of ownership for companies not wishing to invest in a large capital outlay on IT equipment.
The freedom to access IT systems from anywhere where there is an Internet connection means that business disruption can be minimised. Paul continued: “It’s not just larger companies that are taking advantage of the benefits of cloud. We are seeing a lot of forward-thinking professional services companies interested in the advantages that cloud services can give them. Business disruption is a threat and just one of the reasons companies need to look at their IT strategy, but cost savings and flexibility are also high on the list. Cloud is here to stay as companies migrate their business functions online and we’re pleased to be at the forefront of the revolution in the Midlands.”
