When we evaluate new technologies to introduce to our customers, we often return to this guiding principle: how will it help them to reduce complexity in their IT operations?

It’s a refrain we hear time after time, and it’s especially true of data centre environments. Many customers tell us they need to manage complex and resource-intensive three-tier legacy infrastructure. At the start of every investment cycle, they have to predict how much storage they will need for the next three to five years, then provision their management and people to look after that data centre.

We wanted to let you know that we are updating our Privacy Policy. These changes will take effect on 16th April 2018.

The changes are made by us to address GDPR compliance in SureSkills Limited, we are also making the changes so that: Our terms and privacy policies are easy to read and understandable for all our customers.

We suggest you read the Privacy Policy in full. If you have any further questions, contact us at gdpr@sureskills.com.

Every business spends time and effort gathering and reporting data. Whether it’s exporting from their CRM software or creating reports from internal Excel workbooks – assembling business performance statistics can be a manual and time-consuming task. What’s more, the gathering and reporting exercise is repeated day after day and month after month – even though it’s only the data that changes, not the structure of the reports!

At SureSkills, we help businesses to streamline and automate the flow of data from source through to publication. We transform reporting from a repetitive manual assembly and distribution exercise to an “always on”, self-service and interactive view of your key business information.  We deliver this by transforming three areas – Process (how and from where do you gather your information?), Performance Metrics (what are the metrics that help  you identify business performance?) and Publication (who needs access to your performance data and how would they like to view it?).

Our ultimate objective is to provide an interactive Business Performance Information dashboard that is updated as often as you choose at the click of a button and that is easily shared with stakeholders to view on PC’s, laptops, smartphones or any device they choose!

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has increasingly become a topical subject as the May 2018 deadline draws nearer. The GDPR is designed to harmonize data privacy laws across Europe to protect and empower all EU citizens’ data privacy, and will be the driving force encouraging organisations to reshape their approach to data privacy. In order to assist with your GDPR journey, here are 10 Top Tips for getting GDPR ready:

On Thursday 12th October, IT experts from SureSkills, IBM and CommVault will discuss how Backup as a Service and Disaster Recovery as a Service can benefit your business.

The traditional IT model is becoming stale – where you own infrastructure, plan for 5 to 7 years in terms of storage, anticipating requirements and reacting when there is a gap. When business changes, backup and DR need to react. But this is a distraction when the production systems are the key to business.

Backup and Disaster Recovery have changed.
