IT Rollout in Online Backup Deal With keepITsafe

IT Rollout, an IT service provider in Ireland, have signed a deal with keepITsafe, Ireland’s online backup provider to offer online backup as an alternative to their client base.

With recent economic times there is a constant demand for IT support providers to continuously research the market for more cost efficient, yet improved solutions for their clients.  It was with this in mind that IT Rollout signed on to the keepITsafe’s partner programme allowing them to offer the online backup solution to their customers.

“Our clients are always looking for the best technologies available that will improve their systems without breaking their budget spend. What we found is that online backup solutions give them the perfect option,” stated Rodney Moore, Managing Director, IT Rollout.

IT Rollout have secured three online backup contracts to date and look forward to creating a healthy pipeline of online backup projects moving forward. Rodney continued, “The advantages to our customers include the disaster recovery offered by offsite storage but also the advantage of not needing any capital outlay for purchasing new equipment. There are no ongoing media costs or staff costs and running costs are limited to paying a monthly fee.  Gone are the old days of searching for the right tape or the reliance on staff members to remember to set the backup at the right time.  In effect with keepITsafe we can provide our clients with the value proposition they need."

Commenting on the recent partnership Eoin Blacklock, Managing Director, keepITsafe, “We are finding that many IT companies are realising the revenue stream available to them through selling keepITsafe. As part of our “Let us help you win business” campaign we are structuring packages and marketing efforts that assist our IT partners to increase sales”

The global shift towards online backup as a fully managed solution has allowed IT companies to gain extra momentum with existing customers worldwide. The upsell to existing customers is simple as it is a more cost effective solution than traditional methods. It also gives peace of mind to customers who have extremely sensitive information, historically stored on hazardous USB sticks.
