Ramsac recalibrates

Microsoft partner set to launch branded continuity packages later this year

VAR Ramsac is gearing up to launch an assault on the business continuity market.

Managing director Robert May said the Microsoft partner would launch a series of branded business continuity packages in the second half of 2008, including an insurance-backed contract offering clients access to a 12-user network. At the moment it only offers business continuity consulting.

“Business continuity is a growth area for us. A couple of years ago only larger businesses took notice of it, but now everyone does,” he said.

Ashish Patel, UK and Ireland regional manager at business continuity vendor Stonesoft, said: “We see more of our resellers understanding the concept of business continuity. More often than not it is now an item for boardroom discussion.”
