DBSi and Optical Image Technology Announce New Alliance
Customers Provided Security with Disaster and Workspace Recovery Services
BETHLEHEM, PA, July 17, 2007 -DBSi, the leading regional provider of high availability disaster recovery, business continuity, and secure managed hosting services, announces a business alliance with State College, Pennsylvania-based Optical Image Technology (OIT), creator of DocFinity® workflow and document management software. This alliance benefits customers and prospects of both companies through expansion of offerings in workflow and document management for DBSi, and high-availability disaster recovery and managed hosting for OIT.
Both DBSi and OIT support mission critical enterprise environments within healthcare, financial services, technology, and other market segments; the focus is on their clients being “always-on” since disruption of services or inability to access information can have a notable impact on their clients. Businesses with large amounts of mission-critical data will benefit from the data protection and hosting provided by DBSi, and the efficiencies gained via the integrated workflow and document management solutions provided by OIT.
“DBSi was built on providing innovative and common sense solutions to customer needs.” says Robert Hicks, Chief Operating Officer of DBSi. “Due to ever-increasing government and corporate governance requirements, workflow and document management will continue to be an industry focus. Staying consistent to our business model, we focus on our core competencies and join forces with industry-leading companies like OIT to meet customer requirements in areas outside of our core. We welcome OIT as a new alliance partner.”
Optical Image Technology, based in State College, Pennsylvania, is a global software developer that has been dedicated to providing products and services that improve business performance and customer service for over 20 years. OIT’s software, the DocFinity suite of workflow and document management products, enables businesses of all sizes to store, manage, flow, and retrieve their valuable business data.
DBSi owns and operates multiple advanced technology hosting and recovery centers in Pennsylvania supporting New England and the Mid-Atlantic States; specializing in providing customized disaster recovery and hosting solutions for mid-size to Fortune 500 corporations. DBSi’s recovery centers have been designed for traditional rack technology as well as high-density environments requiring power and cooling capabilities found in few recovery facilities. Knowing that people are at the core of any business; DBSi’s workspace recovery centers can accommodate over 1,200 employees and offer 24 hour a day usage. These centers are fully equipped with PC workstations, phones, copiers and secured entrances.
In addition to disaster recovery, DBSi offers managed hosting services that utilize customer equipment or DBSi-provided technology. The focus is on relieving customers of the day-to-day issues associated with running and maintaining a secured data center environment, allowing them to focus instead on their core business. The company supports multiple hardware platforms and operating systems, and has been selected by SAP Americas as the disaster recovery provider for their managed hosting services. Understanding that their customers must adhere to Federal regulations, acts, standards and corporate governances; DBSi is SAS/70 Type II audited and can facilitates compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley, SEC, GLB, HIPAA, JCAHO and FDA requirements.
Jim Thumma, OIT’s Vice President of Sales and Marketing, states, “DBSi is a premier provider of flexible disaster recovery, business continuance, and secure managed hosting services. All three of these items are top on the minds of our customer base today. And, who better to partner with than a company with three decades of experience and success to offer to our current and future customers?”
