Boston, MA, and Fife, Scotland (February 23, 2017)<\/em> \u2013 Continuum, the exclusive provider of the only vertically integrated IT service delivery platform that enables MSPs to scale rapidly and profitably, released a case study on Scotland-based Itek Systems Management\u2019s delivery of 24x7x365 IT and business continuity services to its varied client base with Continuum\u2019s Continuity247. Itek initially partnered with Continuum for its remote monitoring and management (RMM) services, but has since added Continuum\u2019s fully-managed business continuity platform.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur technicians no longer complain about having to execute certain tasks or set up hardware \u2013 we can basically plug Continuity247 into a box and hit \u2018go,\u2019\u201d said Andrew Bousie, technical services manager at Itek. \u201cWe can even repurpose older hardware for use with Continuity247 \u2013 it really allows us to configure the solution to suit the needs of each of our clients. Additionally, the support we get from Continuum is unparalleled \u2013 the UK team is always in contact with us. This partnership has helped us become a superior IT provider for our clients, and we know that Continuum will be there to help us as we continue to move our business forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

Continuity247 is a unique platform which combines a powerful feature set with direct support from Continuum\u2019s industry-leading Network Operations Center (NOC). With more than 700 technicians absorbing day-to-day backup and disaster recovery (BDR) functions including monitoring, testing, troubleshooting and more, Itek\u2019s staff is free to focus on growing the business. Continuity247\u2019s single pane of glass enables Itek to easily manage all client backups from a centralized location, and seamless integration with Continuum RMM provides further efficiency and connectivity \u2013 allowing Itek to deliver complete, comprehensive end-to-end IT management and data protection to their clients.<\/p>\n

With Continuity247\u2019s powerful features like Tru-Verify, which automatically verifies the integrity of recovery points by providing a time-lapse video of the entire boot process, Itek is confident that client data is both secure and accessible when needed.<\/p>\n

\u201cItek demonstrates a perfect partner use case for Continuity247, and we\u2019re excited to contribute to the company\u2019s continued growth and success with the platform,\u201d said Paul Balkwell, managing director of EMEA at Continuum. \u201cBackup and disaster recovery is a critical component of managed IT services today, and we\u2019re committed to enabling MSPs to deliver scalable and profitable business continuity offerings to their clients.\u201d<\/p>\n
