Phoenix Named 'Business Continuity Provider of the Year' at European BCI Awards 2014

- For Phoenix Virtual Disaster Recovery (VDR) platform

Our VDR platform won in the product category and is a central element in the way Phoenix delivers its cloud based 'Disaster Recovery as a Service' solutions.  The key differentiator between Phoenix and virtually all other DRaaS providers in the UK is that Phoenix combines our 25 years of IT recovery expertise, physical as well as virtual systems - with full recovery from customer data stored on our Cloud data backup platform.

Mike Osborne managing director of business continuity at Phoenix summarises, "In implementing the Virtual Disaster Recovery platform Phoenix has embraced the future of our industry with Business Continuity disciplines honed over our 25 years, embedded into the modern Cloud platform. The technology benefits of this innovation are impressive, but where it truly wins is in how the technology is applied to meet the needs of the business continuity professional."

Karen Azzopardi from Phoenix, who herself was a finalist in the category of European Business Continuity Consultant of the Year, was at the awards ceremony to accept the award.

Phoenix was also highly commended in the category of Business Continuity Provider of the Year (Service) in recognition of its commitment to excellent service delivery levels and advancement of business continuity provision in the industry.

Responding to the commendation Mike Osborne commented, "Our technical services team has so much innovation in development that it would be easy to overlook the staff who are also needed to support the tech and deliver customer support.  However, we're a service organisation first and foremost and our focus day in, day out is on maintaining our excellent service levels, exceeding customer expectations and delivering a service in which our customers trust. I am delighted that our people have also been recognised on the same night that our technology has won an award. It's the blend of the two that makes us industry leaders'.
