CSL enjoy mindset change to data storage

With the credit crunch hitting industry hard, has our beleaguered economy effectively called a halt to industry investing in essential IT upgrades and improved data storage measures?

“No.” Is the answer according to Director Kevin Foster of Midlands and South West based Converged Solutions Limited (CSL). As a convergence solutions specialist the company is apparently witnessing a change within the industry, showing a marked increase in data storage solution enquiries and increased investment in infrastructure technology compared to the same time period last year.

“General security consciousness and acknowledgement by businesses large and small has seen CSL enquires double. With technology increasingly becoming more and more efficient at retaining, utilising and copying stored data the increased opportunities for security breaches continues to increase. Witnessing the business mindset change to take in and not only plan for today’s security needs, but to look to the future and plan ahead ready for the day when it will eventually be destroyed, is quite amazing.”

Consideration of budgets, increasing running costs draining many companies, stored data increasing for all UK businesses, all result in the inherent need to plan for secure data storage, whatever our current financial climate.

“As we begin our fifth year of trading we have seen our turnover quadruple since inception, from nothing to £7 million.”

CSL’s success in data destruction, providing a mobile data destruction facility, provides customers with a 100% secure and recyclable service option that is growing in popularity.

Since the company’s launch in 2003, CSL’s acknowledged convergence solutions reputation has grown, with the company today working with an array of industry leaders from a number of commercial sectors encompassing banking, tourism, the entertainment and amusement industry, the NHS and the police. Said Kevin: “CSL has recently completed major installations in Europe and the United Arab Emirates for blue chip banking organisations, and with increasing invitations to quote on installations ranging in complexity and technical expertise; we envisage CSL will enjoy sustained business growth within the UK and international market arenas over the next two years.”
