Sage strengthens business continuity
A North East technology solutions provider has been picked to supply business continuity to Newcastle-based international software company Sage (UK) Limited.
Sage hopes that the new contract will help to protect its stakeholders in the event of a serious incident at its North Park Headquarters. The Onyx Group’s Workplace Recovery Centre is designed to enable businesses to continue trading should the unexpected happen.
Neil Stephenson, Onyx Group chief executive officer, said: “We are delighted to be working with such a prestigious, well-respected business, well known for its diligence when choosing potential business partners and suppliers. This is an exciting deal for the Onyx Group and testament to the expertise, experience and top quality facilities that we offer in disaster management.”
Business continuity is an increasingly important subject for companies of all sizes and many professions are already subject to regulations requiring them to develop Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery contingency plans.
Andrew Morkot, Business Continuity Manager at Sage, said: “Whilst fires, floods and explosions will always make headlines, most things that damage a business are nowhere near as exciting and thankfully very rare. This doesn’t mean, however, that we can be complacent or let our guard down; businesses that are not prepared often never get a second chance.
“I am delighted that we are working with a local supplier like Onyx and are now able to add this element to our overall resilience planning. I have been impressed by the facilities available and the flexible, professional attitude of all the staff at Onyx. We are pleased to be supporting another successful business in the North East.”
