Success Story

The CEO of a $20 million environmental services company needed interim IT assistance because of the sudden resignation of his CIO.

They retained Datotel to conduct a quick assessment of the company's IT infrastructure yielding disturbing results. The CEO discovered that the company's data backup solution had been inoperable for the last 60 days with an associated adjusted risk loss of $100,000. Also, he found out that all of the software and hardware comprising the IT infrastructure was improperly licensed uncovering an additional exposure to the company of $50,000 in penalties. Neither exposure had been reported by the CIO to his supervisor, the CFO.

The CEO said he needed immediate action to avoid the risk of future data loss because of inconsistent or improper backup. He insisted on a verifiable audit trail for data backup. The CEO also wanted to avoid the risk of incurring onerous penalties in the future caused by licensing irregularities.

Datotel provided him with the means of avoiding both risks by managing the company's entire IT infrastructure.

Datotel's management of the company's IT infrastructure has ensured the CEO of risk avoidance calculated to be $100,000.
