Business Owners Take Precautions Against Power Outages

More and more businesses rely on their electronic cash registers, alarm systems, computers on a daily basis. When faced with a power outage, or summer thunderstorms, it is a threat to your business.

Rich Grebinger, vice president and co-owner of National Tax Consultrants Inc., was featured in an article found in the Wall Street Journal discussing how his business was saved during a power outage. He credited us, CMIT Solutions of South Nassau, in this article for protecting his accounting business from shutting down during a storm that knocked out power for 5 days in Merrick, NY. Normally, this power outage would bring his business to a screeching halt. The firm's computer remained intact and employees were able to be moved to an area in the building that wasn't affected by the storm. Mr. Grebinger estimates that the protective software saved the firm "tens of thousands of dollars" in potential damages from lost data and productivity. He stated, "it would've been a nightmare."
Here at CMIT we protect our clients by installing protective software on each unit in order to prevent data from getting destroyed. Backing up the systems data is also another process that we stress with high importance as part of a disaster recovery plan. We believe in keeping people's businesses running smoothly and efficiently even in times of unexpected disaster.
