Aseriti
Aseriti’s customer base is made up of a number of utility organisations that run their operations 24x7. As a result, Aseriti has to ensure it is available to provide its software solutions and support services to their clients, without interruption. A major client of Aseriti had closed down one of its data centres and needed to ensure resilience in the event of a major incident affecting their other site. Aseriti had a potential resource issue, which meant that the company would find it difficult to support the tests required to maintain its business continuity plan, as well as supporting day-to-day operations.
