"Chrysalis uses Data Connect to provide solutions for our network connectivity, data backup and Internet connectivity.

Data Connect’s independent approach means that Chrysalis can reply on getting impartial advice based around our needs rather than the suppliers. This has proved to work well as we have been impressed by the reliability and flexibility of our chosen managed offsite backup solution as well as the connectivity solutions we added shortly after.

Pro-active management is one thing that separates Data Connect from many other companies with regular updates and help to spot and resolve issues before they become a headache. It is this approach that has saved thousands of pounds on storage charges and has helped both Chrysalis and our chosen technology partner to benefit from a stronger relationship.

We are currently working closely on other areas of business including e-mail/web security, VOIP and ILM as well as extending existing services to other parts of the Chrysalis Group. We can reply on Data Connect to know and understand our requirements and the products that are available to us. With a solid technical approach we can be assured that we will make the correct selection first time and in the shortest period of time.

This independent, service led approach is something that Chrysalis values greatly and will ensure that we continue doing business well into the future."

James Brookes
Head of IT
Chrysalis Group plc.

All3Media was formed in 2003 and is now the largest independent television production company in the UK. At the outset, the Company faced the challenge of implementing a ‘green field’ IT infrastructure. This major project had to be completed within budget and in a short timescale, whilst ensuring performance and scalability.

"Working closely with Data Connect and through their knowledge of the IT marketplace, we were able to establish a complete range of services.

By the very nature of our business in television programme production, All3Media cannot afford technology failures and downtime. I am pleased to say that as a result of the expert advice and guidance that has been received, we have a complete solution that continues to achieve this goal.

The All3Media Group of Companies has expanded rapidly through acquisition since its inauguration and it is imperative that our chosen technologies and managed services allow us to react quickly to change. Our relationship with Data Connect has allowed us to do this whilst receiving a service level that has been second to none."

Projects that have since been initiated include VoIP, patch management, business continuity and disaster recovery arrangements across the Group.
