Ensuring business continuity in an uncertain world

With the vast majority of companies and organisations now entirely reliant on their communications connectivity to run their IT infrastructure and communicate with the outside world, any period of downtime can cause serious problems and may even result in the loss of that business.

With their awareness of terrorist threats, all primary Government Services now have some form of contingency planning in place to ensure that they continue to function in the event of a major event, but the same cannot be said of many thousands of businesses.

As the UK's leading supplier of Transportable Satellite Broadband Virtual Private Network Solutions (TSBV), Excelerate provides a variety of fixed satellite solutions that are not dependent on the terrestrial networks and which can support businesses in situations where communications have been compromised.

And remember, the loss of essential communications can result from something as simple as a workman digging up the road and accidentally cutting through a cable, thereby severing a lifeline we all take for granted.

With twelve newspapers and one of the most widely read websites in the north of Scotland to publish, Scottish Provincial Press was one organisation that wasn’t prepared to take that risk.

Access to the Internet and its own communications network are crucial in the world of newspaper publication. That’s why the company called in Excelerate with its satellite broadband solutions to help ensure that even a total loss of terrestrial services will never stop the presses.
