Breakthrough recovery technology isn't just for blue-chip enterprises. Now even small to medium sized enterprises can have robust systems with control, security, compliance and stability.
The recent strategic partnership between Involution Technology and UK’s Brigantia Group brings Enterprise Desktop Management (EDM) technology to the SME market.
IT service providers and resellers gain exclusive support for Involution’s RecoverPC EDM suite, in addition to the usual benefits of the UK Involution Reseller Programme (IRP). RecoverPC Corporate Edition (www.recoverpc.com) combines high-end desktop management tools with powerful immediate recovery technology.
Ian Lawrence, UK Channel consultant for Involution said, “Uptime is not the exclusive domain of the blue-chip enterprise. Small to medium sized companies deserve the same benefits as everyone else in accessing effective tools to control, manage and recover desktop systems. That should also include the same vendor/reseller training and support resources.”
In addition to favourable terms, qualifying Brigantia Group resellers gain access to training and accreditation in Enterprise Desktop Management principles using the RecoverPC suite as well as pre-sales support tools to assist clients in identifying the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) savings that can be made when adopting RecoverPC into their desktop management strategy.
Involution has taken this step in the belief that immediate recovery is the most critical success factor in boosting the availability of IT services and in driving down IT costs. Ian continues, “That’s what IT is all about – raising efficiency of the organisation, while dropping costs. The wider the gap between these two factors, the more value we squeeze from IT. Effective Enterprise Desktop Management achieves this. We must take the most effective routes in getting this message to the SME audience.”

This time of the year, budget holders get the jitters over Return On Investment. In 2007, the trend is on the smart spend. That means taking control of the infrastructure, and managing the vulnerable desktop.
Continued uptake of ITIL best practice means better IT services, while budgets get leaner. These two factors are forcing decision makers to innovate and work smarter.
The continued trend for ITIL best-practice within corporate IT departments and service providers looks set to hold, according to Forester report "IT Budget Outlook", with the observation that "As in 2006, improving IT efficiency is the most important operational theme for IT shops in 2007."
Coupled with the tightening grip on budget growth for 2007, IT departments must now examine new ways to look for cost-effective measures and deliver increased efficiency. That means using the right technologies as they become available.
The terms Return on Investment (ROI) and Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) are increasingly used to underpin business cases for change, where, according to the report, "Despite the increased optimism, IT budgets show modest growth of just 0.7%."
With the Gartner TCO model highlighting that most of the spend related to desktop IT provision goes into administration and maintenance, it makes sense to employ effective Enterprise Desktop Management (EDM) technologies that take a firm hold on desktop software environments, and tip the balance sheet back in favour of the customer.
Involution Technology are optimistic that effective lockdown, change control and immediate recovery will continue to play a significant role in taming the cost of IT provision. "ITIL is mainstream now," said Ian Lawrence, UK Channel Development consultant at Involution. "Necessity breeds innovation, and so the current climate has led to a healthy shift in thinking."
Ian is enthusiastic about the record adoption of RecoverPC (www.recoverpc.com) in both corporate and government IT departments - "Business needs IT services to be up and running around the clock. While downtime will occur, it must be handled and resolved as soon as it is reported and with smartest recovery technology available. With this fundamental factor in place, all other processes from compliance, through to capacity, security and service levels share the benefits."
