• Hard drive failure is the most common cause of data loss, accounting for 38 percent of data loss incidents. (1)
• One-third of IT decision-makers believes that a major data loss incident at their firm could lead to bankruptcy (2)
• According to a recent study by Professor Michael Williams and David Smith of  Pepperdine University,  adding together the expected cost of data recovery to the expected loss of productivity, they found that an average cost of a data loss episode as $2,900. The cost would be significantly more if the data was not recoverable.

Cloud computing is a marketing term for technologies that provide computation, software, data access, and storage services that do not require end-user knowledge of the physical location and configuration of the system that delivers the services.  Simply put, we can store your company’s data, whether email or customer data,  in a remote location off-site with cloud-based services.

We link your computers to ours so that information is automatically update from your company via a secure (and encrypted) internet connection.  This can be done on a daily basis.  Our computer storage facility which warehouses our computers is staffed by security in an iron-clad structure.  For email, we host your email and store it as well.  By hosting, we mean that your company’s email is stored on our computers.  When you log in, your email program will simply download a copy of your email anytime. We also filter your email from spam and viruses, which can also increase productivity for your employees as well. Spam cost businesses more than $100 billion in 2007–$712 per employee in lost productivity.(3)

ARE THERE OTHER ADVANTAGES IN DOING THIS?

Yes, remotely hosting your email can make your company mobile.  We have had clients who relocated their entire office without having ANY emails bounce.  Their emails were safe on our computers, waiting for them to reconnect their computers to download their email.  Also, setting yourself up on Exchange email, you can connect your company calendar to all employee’s calendars in their Outlook calendars and smart phones.   A company can update schedule changes (or project changes)  for all employees in real-time.  We did this recently for a client who wanted to have employees immediately alerted to any banquet schedules for their staff.  Needless to say, it sped up the exchange of information throughout the company and increased productivity.

DOES IT COST A LOT?

No.   Average cost of a single data loss can be $2,900 as shown above.   A data loss can cost a company their business and wipe them out.  For an average company, we will cost less per year than a single data loss AND prevent the company from being wiped out by such.
