Symplicity Equals Sucess

Many times when we visit newclients, we see complex backup systems that do not work as they are supposed to.

There are several reasons for this. People in our industry love complexity; they simply make things too complicated. Besides financial services, IT is one of the most overly complicated industries.

One of our new clients wanted  to be able to recover old documents as soon as possible. He developed a methodology where each time a file changes, the document must be stored with a new name following a simple naming convention. This means that he can go back to the version of that file as it existed on any date since the creation of his business.

Another client has emails dating as far as 1998. He can find e-mails in no time at all.   He classifies all his email as Level 1, 2 and 3 depending of its priority, and each level is separated in categories including contact names. There is CRM (customer relation management) software that claims to do the same; he was doing it even before the software was conceived.

While some people spend thousands of dollars and time trying to achieve something similar, the simplicity and efficiency of these systems is a perfect example that most of our problems are not because of lack of intellectual resources but perhaps because of an over abundance of it.

We believe backup and recovery should be done in a similar way. Do you know how to retrieve an old email, where your data is, and the quickest way to help and assist your customers? Don't fall into the trap of most businesses who say, "we should do something", and never do. Just remember, "you should do something", and then just do it.

And if you are wondering how, remember that we are just one click away.
