Dear Reader
Welcome
to our second ITPS enewsletter. Our intention is to ensure that you are
kept up to date with all the very latest ICT news and products. In this
issue we would like to look at the importance of a dedicated workplace
recovery
centre to help support your business continuity plan and raise your
ability to recover from a disaster. Linked to this we also have an
article on how automated IT infrastructure monitoring can help alert
you to potential problems before they occur. We will share with you why
we think Unified Comms should be on your shortlist for 2010 and
finally, you can see in detail how we were able to help the Lake
District National Park boost efficiency and reduce their environmental
impact by the equivalent of planting 600 trees.
We
hope you find the articles of interest and welcome any
comments

Recovery |
Minimise
the risk to your organisation

Whilst bombs, fires and floods capture the headlines, almost 90% of
disasters are 'quiet catastrophes'. It is these quiet catastrophes that
also have the potential to damage your organisations most valuable
assets, its data, brand and reputation. When the unforeseen happens and
you can't access your premises, your organisation can be in real
trouble.
Research
shows that 40% of businesses hit by a
serious event are unable to recover. Even the simplest disaster
recovery plan could help save your company and having a place to carry
out your organisations critical office activities is very
important.Talk to ITPS to find out how you can minimise risk by having
a tried and tested disaster recovery plan in place.

Automated
Network Monitoring |
Pro-active
remote monitoring that alerts you to potential network issues
|
|
|
|
Efficient
IT systems are critical to the successful running of
an organisation and any downtime can create financial and
customer service problems. It is no longer okay to do a simple physical
check of the network once a week, fortnight or month. A business needs
to be more pro-active and this is why an ever increasing number are
using automated network monitoring.
This
ensures that every morning before you
start work all the essential checks have already been made,
alerting you to any potential issues with your servers and PCs
before
they can cause problems.
For
detailed information on how these automated checks can benefit your
business go to
ITPS website.

now have a more robust technology framework with less potential points
of failure, and we have been able to cut energy bills as well as the
