ERS and keepITsafe
Thu 28th January 2010
ERS, one of Irelands most progressive IT companies, signed a contract with keepITsafe under the keepITsafe authorised partner programme to move over all ERS clients to the keepITsafe’s fully managed and fully monitored online backup solution. The aim is to have the full conversion completed by the end of 2010. Businesses are increasingly seeing the benefits of an online backup service offering as opposed to traditional tape backup methods which is fundamentally the reason why ERS went down the online backup route. keepITsafe is the most secure online backup solution available and can guarantee recoverability of data at all times. The unique model offered by keepITsafe offers customers a fully managed and fully monitored service with keepITsafe taking full responsibility for the backup of the data.ERS Computer Solutions has been in the IT industry for 25 years, offering organisations expert business solutions.
“IT companies need to be very selective in the solutions that they recommend to customers. Our business has thrived on our supplier relationships and allows us to provide a consistent solution to our customers” stated Colm Stafford, Managing Director, ERS Computer Solutions.

NI energy supplier loses customer data
Wed 20th January 2010A data tape containing information from almost 13,000 electricity bills has been lost by Northern Ireland's energy supplier.
NIE Energy said the tape did not contain any banking details.
Old billing information, names and addresses are included on the record of payment demands produced on 10 August last year, NIE Energy said.
A spokesman for NIE Energy said that while they had not been able to locate the tape there was no evidence to suggest it had fallen into the wrong hands.
The information commissioner's office has been alerted following the loss by contractors for NIE Energy who are in charge of bill processing.
Northgate Information Solutions is contracted by NIE Energy to provide data management services including organising the backing up of billing information through its subcontractors, Liberata and Formscan.
Each day after electricity bills are produced Liberata transfers billing information by tape to Formscan to be backed up onto microfiche.
It was during this process relating to a single day's electricity bills in August 2009 that the tape went missing. NIE Energy said Northgate had already overseen improvements to ensure this type of incident does not happen again.
