Agility Recovery Solutions Unveils New Web Portal, Targeting Disaster Recovery Services to Small-to-Midsized Businesses

“Agility Direct” resolves the recovery needs of moderately sized enterprises, delivering scalable, affordable solutions to businesses of any size

ATLANTA, GA – July 31, 2003 – Agility Recovery Solutions (Agility), the premier provider of portable recovery and business continuity solutions across the United States and Canada, today announced the availability of its new web-based service and online portal, Agility Direct, www.agilityrecovery.com/direct/. The new web portal is a scalable, cost-effective solution designed to meet the disaster recovery requirements of small- to medium-sized businesses.

“Today, it is generally recognized that disaster recovery and business continuity are important to organizations of all sizes,” said Robert Miano, President and CEO of Agility Recovery Solutions. “Until now, smaller companies viewed these necessities as being ‘too big’ or ‘too expensive’ for their needs. However, we demonstrate through Agility Direct that we can provide these smaller- to moderately sized enterprises the critical services to resolve problems brought on by unforeseen business interruptions.”

In addition to relevant articles about how to get started, issues to consider, newsletters, free planning tips and convenient links to pertinent industry resources, Agility Direct offers “Ready to Buy” recovery packages that are sized and priced for the small-to midsized marketplace.

“These comprehensive service offerings provide replacement technology, services, facilities and communications on a scale that makes sense for even the smallest business,” says Scott Bird, VP of Sales for Agility. “The ordering process has been streamlined to provide all of the needed components in one complete package, providing business owners and operators with the opportunity to obtain state-of-the-art disaster recovery and business continuity coverage from the industry’s recognized leader.”

The opening of its new, Atlanta-based U.S. operations facility and warehouse, combined with its time-tested shipment practices, including specialized cases for the simultaneous delivery of multiple systems, reinforces Agility’s guarantee of rapid equipment delivery to a customer’s site, no matter where in North America, following a catastrophic event. Agility’s other major hub is located at its corporate headquarters, in Toronto, Canada. Supporting the hubs is a strategic network of equipment facilities, throughout North America, facilitating rapid equipment deployment should the need arise.

“We are dedicated to educate and assist companies, of all sizes, with their recovery efforts,” Mr. Miano added. “Just knowing that the technology, equipment and real-life technical expertise will be delivered to your facility and help you to get back online and productive, in a matter of hours, promotes peace of mind and a feeling of security. In today’s world, that is an invaluable asset for any sized business.”
