Open Solutions Partners with
Agility Giving
Clients Access to Top-Notch Disaster Recovery Solutions
--Agility ReadySuite enables Open Solutions
clients with access to
power, space, connectivity and technology to maintain business
operations during interruptions --
GLASTONBURY,
Conn., Feb. 7, 2008
– Open Solutions Inc. ® and Agility Recovery Solutions recently
announced a partnership in which Open Solutions’ credit union and
banking clients will have streamlined access to additional resources that
are necessary to resume operations and stay connected to customers and
members during any business interruption including natural disasters.
Agility is a former division of GE with nearly 20
years of disaster recovery and business continuity under its belt. It is
a leading provider of turn-key, packaged recovery solutions to businesses
across the United States. Open Solutions is in
the forefront of integrated enabling technologies for financial service
providers across the United States, Canada and international markets.
Agility’s
ReadySuite disaster recovery solution provides financial institutions
with access to the critical resources needed after an interruption. Open
Solutions members and clients will have access to fully-equipped
workstations, in which key personnel can conduct important business
operations through temporary connections until the permanent facility is
back online. With nearly 100,000 mobile office units across the United States and Canada, a unit can be shipped to an institution within 48 hours of a disaster
declaration. These mobile office units are wired for voice and data
communications and designed to fulfill institutions’ requirements
for short-, medium- or long-term usage.
“Financial
institutions are expected to be in constant operation, period. Clients
count on them to be accessible, especially during times of unfortunate
devastation, ” Taylor Busby, vice president, marketing, Agility
Recovery Solutions, said. “Our ReadySuite solution lets
institutions quickly and effortlessly regain operations after an interruption,
providing clients with the instant responsiveness that they must have.
Through our partnership with Open Solutions, we will be able to extend
that responsiveness to their clients, and we are excited to provide them
with solid disaster recovery options.”
“Credit union and banking clients
must stay continuously linked to customers and members during natural
disasters to successfully operate their businesses and provide customers
and members with the best service possible. And, disasters
strike when you least expect it,” Michael Nicastro, senior vice
president and CMO of Open Solutions Inc., said.
“But having a viable solution that allows an institution to quickly
reconvene business rather than halting all client transactions and
inquiries is imperative to a successful disaster recovery plan. Agility
is regarded as a reliable and key provider of disaster recovery
solutions, with a 100 percent success rate, including close to 40
recoveries in the wake of the 2005 hurricane season. We know definitively
that our partnership with Agility will greatly benefit our client
base.”
