How enterprise-grade backup solutions are helping rapidly expanding financial services firms protect critical data across global operations
Challenge: Legacy Backup Systems
Solution: Scalable Data Security Platform
Industry: Financial Services & Consultancy
“The client turned to Infoprotect because their backup challenges were slowing operations, draining resources, and leaving critical data exposed to risk. We implemented a fully automated, off-site backup and continuity solution that cut backup windows dramatically, which led to faster restores, lower costs, and continuous data protection.”
Company Profile:
Our client is an international advisory and intermediary firm focused exclusively on the financial services sector. Established in 2005, it has experienced remarkable international expansion and now employs over 800 professionals in 18 cities, spanning all inhabited continents.
Initially formed as a firm of consulting actuaries, their first office in London was opened in March 2005. Since then, their service portfolio has steadily expanded alongside their geographic reach. After establishing their UK headquarters, the initial expansion led them into European markets, including Germany and France, followed by operations in Asia.
The Challenge: Ensuring Data Security Keeps Pace with Business Growth
Data backup is critical for all businesses, regardless of their size or sector. This firm encountered a significant data retention challenge when its rapid business growth outpaced its legacy backup system. This created a series of issues with local retention, data security, and backup reliability across their expanding international network.
The Solution: Secure Data Backup Implementation
By implementing an advanced backup solution utilising enterprise-grade software, combined with a dedicated high-speed connection to a secure London data centre, our client was able to preserve its virtual and physical environments. The solution provided automated local and off-site backup options accessible from a single centralised client console for streamlined management.
The Result: Unlimited Business Growth Supported by an Agile Security Platform
This firm can now develop and expand at its natural pace thanks to a stable and robust data security platform that scales with its growth. As they work to serve their global financial services clients, they can operate with confidence knowing their own business data is protected and their clients’ sensitive information is secured to the highest standards.
"The implemented solution has proven remarkably agile, while still catering to our complex needs and remaining scalable. In the dynamic financial services sector, we need to be responsive, and ensuring our clients' data safety is critical to maintaining trust and compliance." – Client IT Manager.
