Brandon Faber | Tuesday, October 27, 2009
Leading data backup and recovery solutions company, Cibecs, has partnered with JSE listed Managed Services enterprise, GijimaAst.
The deal, worth in excess of $30 million, places GijimaAst in a position to offer its clients Cibecs’ data backup and recovery solution for enterprise desktops and notebooks.
The move will immediately impact favorably on the speed and cost of GijimaAst’s service offering, both in the replacement of hardware and the general support it’s capable of offering business users.
“We see it as an investment in our clients,” says Raymond Deftereos, Business Unit Executive DCS. “GijimaAst is dedicated to offering our clients the very best, cost effective and efficient operational service available; our new partnership with Cibecs enhances the benefit for GijimaAst’s clients.”
Co-founded in 2004 by CEO, Richard Dewing, Cibecs has steadily advanced its product offering and market share in a segment that has (historically) been neglected. “Lost data is the biggest threat to business continuity,” says Dewing.
Backup policies do not work
While the Cibecs product looks at data specifically, the added value of the solution lies in its secondary uses, such as drastically simplifying the process when replacing computer hardware. “We see it as an operational tool first and foremost, “says Deftereos. “Using Cibecs we are able to offer faster service delivery, with lower cost implications for our clients. Who doesn’t like the sound of that?”
Increasing threat to data integrity
GijimaAst is putting its money where its mouth is by not only offering Cibecs licenses to all its clients but, also, internally rolling the software out to the corporation’s users. The partnership signals a significant step forward in Cibecs’ expansion strategy.
“We haven’t yet begun to scratch the surface of this industry,” says Dewing.
"Every company needs it"
Cibecs enjoys global endorsement from its clients and partners. The company offers fast, hassle-free recovery, data encryption and central data control for companies of any size.
“Every company needs a reliable, automated, backup and recovery solution for end users, “says Willem Janse Van Vuuren, Executive Business Excellence. “GijimaAst uses Cibecs”.
