Sometimes innovation comes at the behest of outside forces.
Take, for instance, Envision Technology Advisors’ latest offering: the Business Continuity Solutions Accelerator. Its purpose is to first prevent, and then counteract, the effects of cyberattacks, weather events and other disruptions that can take a serious toll on a company’s network infrastructure and bottom line.
“By having a strategy in place to minimize interruptions, as well as a process to quickly recover should a disaster occur, a company does not have to stop their business if a storm hits and power goes out, or if employees cannot make it to the office,” explained Marketing Director Jeremy Girard. “Every minute that a company’s employees cannot work … is money that the business loses.”
Envision’s BCSA is an assessment and action plan developed and delivered for clients within 30 business days. Clients can then invest in Envision’s services and the expertise that comes with its 17 years in the technology consulting arena.
“With business-continuity strategies, we recognized that … the longer [companies] spent in [the planning] phase of the project, the more likely it was that it would fall apart before ever being implemented,” said Girard.
Envision sales increased from $8 million in 2015 to $12 million in 2016 after rolling out the BCSA. The success of the program allows new clients to take advantage of Envision’s other offerings. And Envision has expanded, opening a new office in Nashville, Tenn., to add to locations in Pawtucket and the Greater Boston area.
“Innovation has always been key to our company’s culture,” said Girard. “Our team is made up of individuals who are infinitely curious and smart, so exploring new technologies and tackling new challenges is really part of who we are.”
