Backup My Info! Signs 40th IT Consultant Partner

Backup My Info! (BUMI) announced the signing of its 40th IT Consulting Partner.

Oxer Technologies, Inc., a provider of IT Consulting services, joins a roster of IT Consultant Partners including Syzygy 3, Quarterhorse Technology and Ikon Business Group.

BUMI’s IT Consultant Program provides referral partner clients with a managed online data backup and recovery solution specifically designed for small and mid-sized professional service firms. Partners select BUMI in order to provide a solution for their clients requiring a disaster recovery and business continuity solution for important company data.

"There was no reason to spend our own capital to build and maintain our own online data backup and recovery infrastructure so we set out to find a company that did it well," said Sean C. O’Rourke, founder and principal of Syzygy 3, a New York-based technical consulting firm. "Backup My Info! (BUMI) was the best solution we found. They brought a great product combined with great support to the table."

The BUMI IT Consultant Partner Program enables participants to outsource the responsibility of the online backup and recovery process while still maintaining control of their clients’ IT infrastructure. BUMI works best with partners that realize that protecting their clients’ data is a specialized service requiring specific people, processes, and technology built from the ground up.

"For firms without full-time IT support dedicated to protecting company data, BUMI is the best thing that could happen," said Michael Nastashkin of SphereTech, an IT consultant for BUMI client CitiStorage, a Brooklyn-based records management solution provider. "If you don’t have the resources to keep up with your backups or your data is critical to your business, Backup My Info! is the perfect solution."

Established in 2004, the IT Consultant Partner Program now has 40 partners that provide for clients in industries, including banking, finance, brokerage, real estate, legal and accounting.

"The continued growth of our partner program validates the value we bring to firms that truly understand the business value of properly protecting company data," said Jennifer Walzer, CEO of BUMI. "One hundred and fifty of our clients are referred by partners, which is testament to our obsessive customer service."
