Secure Data Group Launches New Services and IT Initiatives
IRVINE, CA, February 27, 2006— Secure Data Group (SDG) a new information technology services company providing comprehensive enterprise solutions for data management and recovery, business process management, compliance services and information security, today announced its official launch. SDG, a division of Bell Microproducts (NASDAQ: BELM ), provides a holistic consulting approach, making sure IT solutions are in line with a company’s business needs. SDG provides best-of-breed technology solutions to improve clients’ current infrastructure investments, optimize business-critical processes and secure corporate-critical data at rest and data in motion.
Based in Irvine, California, SDG already has an established base of clients and is well positioned to expand throughout Southern California. The management and staff of SDG have significant experience and a track record of success in three critical practice areas: Data Management, Data Recovery and Business Continuance, and Information Security.
“We built Secure Data Group to be a client’s single solution source to ensure that their data is highly available, well protected and performs to their expectations regardless of which hardware and software solutions are in place,” said Edward Ginty, Senior Director of SDG, who is responsible for overseeing operations, including sales, marketing and business development. “We use the best technology products available to solve our client’s particular problem within their budget. We work closely with our clients’ senior management from the very beginning to get a clear expectation of their IT business goals, as well as a deep understanding of their existing IT investment. Only then do we move to resolve their IT problem.”
Scope of Service
SDG combines a vendor-neutral approach and years of IT experience to bridge the chasm between a client’s senior management and their IT departments. By knowing what keeps CEOs and CIOs awake at night and what will practically work and integrate into the client’s existing IT infrastructure, SDG provides effective technology solutions for their clients.
