Data migration and backup consultants

Nowadays, data is often an organisation’s most important asset. But it needs to be on the best platform for accessing and leveraging it, which means data migration is a fact of life. 

However, data is also your asset that’s most targeted and vulnerable to attack. You additionally have a responsibility to safeguard any customer or third-party data you may have. And that means you require secure backup.
At Beacon Intelligence we have a proven record in advising on – and implementing – the right data solutions for your business.

Data migration

Data migration is generally part of any initiative for major change within an organisation. It’s typically driven by the introduction of a new business system and is one of the largest, most challenging IT projects a business makes.
Many data migration projects are badly handled, running late and over budget. Around a third of them are unsuccessful, and this is often down to a lack of internal buy-in, poor methodology and absence of the right in-house experience.

At Beacon Intelligence, we have helped numerous organisations across many sectors carry out successful data migrations. Our consultants can advise and assist with impact assessments and internal engagement, as well as the right methodology, software and support for even the largest, most complex migrations.

Data backup – consulting and implementing

Backup usually falls into two categories – onsite and offsite. Each has its advantages and disadvantages. For maximum efficiency, most businesses require a combination of both.

Beacon Intelligence can advise on your best approach and then implement your backup plan, managing and monitoring secure backup on your behalf. We also offer daily backup options, to ensure your data backup is always right up to date. This gives you total peace of mind and leaves you free to concentrate on your core activities.

We can also set up a disaster recovery plan, ensuring that data is not just backed up but can be restored quickly and easily to minimise business disruption.
