Central Databank Partners With Shortcuts Software

Irish online backup services company Central Databank has partnered with the ISV (Independent Software Vendor) Shortcuts Software, expanding the company’s services to over 10,000 customers across the globe. On full deployment, the partnership will bring global gross revenues for Central Databank to over €1m.

Shortcuts head office is based in Brisbane, Australia with two further offices located in Sale, Cheshire (UK) and Long Beach, California (USA) respectively. Shortcuts is the world’s leading provider of business management software solutions to hair and beauty salons and spas across the globe, currently operating in over 10,000 sites.

Irish company Central Databank (CDB) is a specialist online backup service provider offering services exclusively through IT reseller and ISV channel partners. CDB in conjunction with Shortcuts will establish additional data sites in Mainland Europe, Australia and North America.

“CDB provides a number of service offers in the back up sector to include mobile back up, enterprise back up and data replication services. We enable IT providers to become active, providing all the infrastructure, training and support needed. The CDB Sales Partner gets into the back up service provision business overnight without the necessary capital expenditure required. They in turn sell the back up to their clients,” says Dermot Mooney, CEO of CDB.

Online backup provides customers with robust effective off-site storage and back up of all their critical business data. CDB’s service is totally automatic and monitored 24/7 by specialist staff. CDB has built a unique service position.

“Our utility model is very different to any model in the market to date. It is harder to execute. We provide Sales Partner with all the infrastructure to enable them to deliver a top class service to their customer for critical data on their network on their laptop and even on their smart phone and PDAs,” adds Mooney.

“Our motto is global service for local delivery. This particular partnership has allowed us to reach customers spread over three continents, even though CDB are an Irish-based company. This deployment along with others planned will allow CDB accelerate multi regional sites while managed from Dublin. That is what makes it unique,” commented Mike Sowden, Chief Executive Officer of Shortcuts Software (UK) Ltd. “The online back-up solution, supplied by CDB, for our clients is just part of our on-going commitment to providing the best in class software and service to the hair and beauty industry. This seamless solution provides our clients with additional security and assurance, that helps secure all their business data. And with which helps set Shortcuts apart from competing solutions.”
