Virgin Media Business Ireland TechConnect Live, Ireland’s largest technology event, is delighted to confirm Sungard Availability Services (Sungard AS) as a main event sponsor for 2017. As Ireland’s premier IT services provider, specialising in availability, managed IT and cloud solutions, Sungard Availability Services is the ideal partner for the event and will be providing two expert speakers on the day to discuss GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) and digital transformation.
Sungard AS provides SMEs and larger businesses with tailored production and recovery services to help them achieve their required business and technology outcomes. The company applies its deep expertise and over 35 years’ experience in disaster recovery to design, build and run production environments that are resilient and positioned for growth in the future. Services include cloud, managed hosting, security services, colocation and network services along with recovery and business continuity services. “At the moment, we’re seeing a very strong demand from our Irish and global customers for hybrid IT. We are also talking to our customers about GDPR; the clock is ticking so we want to ensure our customers are up to speed on their requirements,” says Keith O’Leary, Principal Consultant at Sungard AS. Keith will be discussing the complexities associated with GDPR at Virgin Media Business Ireland TechConnect Live, along with Solutions Architect Brian Finnegan who will talk about digital transformation including how organisations can ensure they embark on such programmes with eyes open to the potential pitfalls, as well as how to harness the many benefits of a successful deployment.
“People are beginning to understand what’s involved with GDPR and the fact that it’s very much a people, process and technology approach. Businesses will be required to incorporate changes in terms of system(s) development, application management and IT operations. We believe Virgin Media Business Ireland TechConnect Live is the ideal event for us as delegates are the very people who need to know about these changes. Our insights around GDPR will resonate with attendees. Our GDPR services are underpinned the capabilities, expertise and solutions that enable us to work with customers to address both their GDPR requirements and their broader IT services needs too.”
With a very compelling set of capabilities around GDPR, Sungard AS understands the implications of the new requirement and is in an ideal position to help customers navigate their way through the complexities of the Regulation. “We view GDPR as more than just a technology driven activity. At Sungard AS, we feel we’re in a very good position to provide a comprehensive end-to-end perspective to customers and we look forward to sharing this expertise with delegates at Virgin Media Business Ireland TechConnect Live.”
