What specific challenges did GFT face in terms of data protection , and how did the company address these challenges ?
GFT encountered specific challenges in terms of data protection , primarily revolving around the management of critical data within their Salesforce CRM . With users using essential functions such as timesheets and project management , safeguarding this data was paramount . Initially , GFT lacked a robust backup and recovery solution , resorting to manual sandboxes as a makeshift backup method .
GFT ’ s CIO Stephan Dusold emphasised the critical nature of the platform to their operations , stating that any failure within the system would result in business failure . Recognising the inadequacy of their existing approach , GFT sought a more reliable solution . Own Company stepped in as the sole provider capable of offering comprehensive backup and recovery services tailored specifically to the combination of platforms they had in place .
