Storm Internet Launches Business Solutions to Help SME’s Beat the Downturn

Oxford, United Kingdom, July 24, 2009 --(PR.com)-- International website hosting company Storm Internet Ltd today launched its range of IT solutions for small and medium sized businesses (SME’s). The selection of services including; email management, Microsoft Exchange, network file servers and disaster recovery solutions are aimed to help businesses make the most of the internet during the current hard times.

Salim Benadel, Storm Internet CEO explains:

“In order to compete in the economic downturn, it is more important than ever for SME’s to sell their services on the internet. And it’s not just having a good website, with good search engine optimization that’s a must. An effective email system is imperative in order to communicate instantly with customers, as is ensuring that important data is backed up and recoverable should a disaster occur.”

Recent statistics from the London Chamber of Commerce emphasises this; 20% of all companies will suffer fire, theft, flood or storm damage, power failures, terrorism or hardware/software disaster. Of those without a business continuity plan, 80% fail within 13 months.

Although most SME’s businesses can’t afford - nor have a need - for a large IT infrastructure, they still require enough of a platform to allow them to communicate with their customers and compete in their industry sector. Not only that, but recent figures show that the retail sector is still showing strong resilience despite the recession, with 9% month-on-month growth recorded for March 2009. *

So as Salim says: “getting your business online and selling to your customers over the internet could not only save your business but could see it thrive in the recession."

Storm Internet is offering the following business solutions:
- Email management solutions
- Microsoft exchange
- Network file servers
- Disaster recovery planning
- Back-up solutions
- Server management
