DATACORP LEVERAGES PERIMETER'S NETWORK SERVICE PROVIDER (NSP) PARTNER PROGRAM TO PROTECT CUSTOMERS' IT ASSETS
Partnership Transforms DATACORP from an 8 X 5 VAR to a Mission Critical, 24 X 7 Security and Business Continuity Solutions Provider for clients including Catholic Health Services
January 11, 2006 Miami, FL – DATACORP announced today that it has partnered with Perimeter eSecurity, the only provider of complete eSecurity on demand, to provide mission critical, 24 X 7 security and disaster recovery services, supplementing its current consulting and integration services. Perimeter provides DATACORP with the ability to provide on demand security and disaster recovery services for DATACORP customers.
“Partnering with Perimeter has enabled us to compete at a different level,” said Hugo G. Perez, Managing Director, DATACORP, a minority-owned firm that delivers consulting and network integration services to mid-market companies in Florida. “It has transformed us from a standard 8 X 5 VAR to a 24 X 7 full service network integration, security, and business continuity solutions provider. This partnership ties us much more closely to our clients and enables us to compete head-to-head with larger firms such as IBM Global Services and EDS. Because we are flexible with our service offerings and our services are much more affordable, we can provide the appropriate services at the pace that our clients require.”
Perimeter’s partner program is designed to help organizations like DATACORP plug into over 50 on demand security services with no CAPEX investment requirement. This program provides Perimeter partners with an easy to implement, comprehensive suite of on demand security and disaster recovery services to offer to their clients as a new way of increasing monthly recurring revenue, customer entanglement, and profitability.
DATACORP provides network integration, security, and consulting services to CATHOLIC HEALTH SERVICES in South Florida. “Working with DATACORP has saved us a great deal in time and money over the cost of building our own hurricane-proof data center and managed services,” said Dario Achury, Director of Information Management at CATHOLIC HEALTH SERVICES. “It has also saved us the need to upgrade, integrate and continuously update our IT security infrastructure. DATACORP and Perimeter have added their strengths to ours, which is to provide the best in quality healthcare security and network back-up services even through the most active hurricane seasons.”
Under the terms of this agreement Perimeter provides first level remote response to CATHOLIC HEALTH SERVICES while DATACORP provides second tier support on-site. Perimeter proactively monitors all CATHOLIC HEALTH SERVICES sites as well as their collocation center. Perimeter is the first responder and either remotely resolves the network issue or reports to DATACORP if there is a need for any type of on-site intervention.
“Security and disaster recovery are growing concerns for the entire small to mid-market,” said Clark Easterling, VP Marketing for Perimeter. “DATACORP has been innovative in deploying technology services to organizations with a need for high availability and security in hurricane plagued areas of the country. The partnership with Perimeter augments DATACORP’s core integration practice with upwards of 50 network security services all delivered on-demand and managed through a single customer portal.”
