Rely on us
Established in 1978, Sungard AS has been keeping our customers’ people and information connected for five decades: providing live production support during system recoveries, or by helping ensure business critical systems are safely managed 24/7 by ‘intelligent hands’.
We understand that this ‘Information Availability’ is vital to ensuring that when they partner with Sungard AS, our customers can rely on us to make the everyday happen for theirs.
With the blurring between traditional disaster recovery (DR) and the 24/7 availability facilitated by managed services becoming more apparent as Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and Recovery Point Objectives (RPO) continue to become more ambitious; Sungard AS has naturally evolved its solution set to address this need. In addition to our enviable pedigree, Sungard AS is now regarded as one of the 15th largest managed hosting services providers2. Our infrastructure strategy won the award of the same name in 2010. Broad Group has also
shortlisted Sungard AS’s Managed Services capability in their annual awards3, whilst Intellect turned to us to chair its Data Centre Group.
So from Consulting and Business Continuity Management (BCM) Software at one end through Recovery Services to Managed IT and cloud-based Infrastructure as a Service solutions at the other, we can meet our customers’ needs across the Information Availability spectrum with the single aim of keeping them running – no matter what.
