ProviDyn Alleviates IT Burden for Renmatix, Allowing the Company to Focus on its Mission of Reducing the Worlds Dependence on Fossil Fuels

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) April 30, 2012

ProviDyn, a provider of IT support, strategy and services for small and medium-sized businesses, announced today it is providing Renmatix, a leading cellulosic sugar producer for global biochemical and biofuels markets, with private cloud services and IT strategy.

Experiencing rapid growth, Renmatix was consistently adding office space and employees across multiple locations. Its IT equipment was aging and the company recognized that enlisting an additional resource to help manage and scale its IT infrastructure was necessary for success. Renmatix selected ProviDyn to assess its current technology situation and provide recommendations for building out an infrastructure that would ensure efficiency as the company continued to grow.

To set Renmatix on the proper path, ProviDyn began by providing managed services to stabilize and support the existing IT environment. With its assessment and readiness methodology, ProviDyn was then able to uncover opportunities for Renmatix to increase efficiency and implement new technology. Rather than make an out of the box recommendation, ProviDyn interviewed key stakeholders, evaluated existing hardware and equipment and assessed the status of software licensing, along with legal and technological compliance. As a result, ProviDyn was able to provide Renmatix with a solid recommendation of migrating to a private cloud based on a lower upfront investment and the benefits of better equipment, updated licenses, scalability, remote access and disaster recovery.

ProviDyn came in at the perfect time, said Duncan Cross, Director of Marketing for Renmatix. We tried other approaches, such as hiring an internal IT resource, but knew that a managed environment would run more efficiently, reduce costs and add an element of strategy to our existing infrastructure. Because ProviDyn took the time to understand our business inside and out, we felt confident in going with the recommendation to migrate to a private cloud versus building a data center in-house.

We are excited to work with Renmatix and provide the forethought and expertise needed to get the most out of their investment in technology, said Hamish Davidson, president and co-founder of ProviDyn. By taking the IT burden off of Renmatix, we can help them work toward and meet business goals without worrying about how technology will impact growth.

About Renmatix

Renmatix is the leading producer of cellulosic sugars for the global renewable chemical and fuels markets.

Renmatixs supercritical hydrolysis technology deconstructs non-food biomass an order of magnitude faster than other processes and enhances its cost advantage by using no significant consumables.

8MAN alleviates PCI DSS compliance burden

London (PRWEB UK) 31 October 2012

PCI DSS was created to increase controls around cardholder data to reduce credit card fraud and should be implemented by all entities that process, store or transmit cardholder data. The primary objective is to enhance payment card data security by providing an actionable framework for developing a robust payment card data security process – including prevention, detection and appropriate reaction to security incidents.

Compliance is of course the prudent thing to do, but it needs to be achieved in a cost-effective manner with minimal operational disruption. This is where 8MAN from protected-networks can help.

The standard includes twelve headline requirements, over 200 sub-requirements and around 650 detail points encompassing technology, procedure and process. To support organisations looking to comply, protected-networks has produced a simple checklist. This checklist shows how 8MAN supports PCI DSS requirements such as restricting access to cardholder data on a business need to know basis, assigning a unique ID to each person with computer access, tracking and monitoring all access to network resources and cardholder data and maintaining a policy that addresses information security.

PCI DSS is more about security than compliance and when implemented correctly using a solution such as 8MAN, will keep card holder data protected under any circumstances, commented Steven Bennett, Head of Channel EMEA, protected-networks.

About protected-networks: Founded in 2009, protected-networks GmbH is an international company headquartered in Berlin that develops integrated solutions for access rights management of physical and virtual server environments across all business sectors and at public authorities. The solution, 8MAN is an Information Trust Software based on an innovative approach to integrated data security management and offers uniform and automated management of user rights. Clients thereby save cost and time while increasing protection against unauthorised internal access.
