Smash the Tape Barrier and Become an Online Backup Reseller!

Let's face it.  Tapes are obsolete.  Newer backup systems come as a removable hard drive disguised by a proprietary 'tape' enclosure.  Even with removable drives replacing tapes, is the procedure used obsolete as well?

Due to the prevalence of high speed Internet connections, the online backup industry is growing at staggering rates as more consultants, and in turn their clients are turning to this effective and efficient means of safeguarding their data.

Not only are most online backup services automated, they provide the added benefit of a built-in offsite functionality.  By backing up offsite by default, businesses are avoiding the security issues of having a network administrator or another employee transporting important business data to their home or another location.

By positioning yourself as an online backup reseller, you can leverage this new channel.  If you have existing clients, adding a managed service like online backup can create a recurring revenue flow almost indefinitely.

Managed Services Resources

What are Managed Services?  If you are an IT consultant and haven't added managed services to your portfolio, you are missing out on significant recurring revenue. 

By selling professional services, you or one of your staff spends their time working directly with your customer.  Your profit margin is lower and your time is limited.

With managed services, you charge your customer a monthly or annual rate for a service.  Your staff may be only minimally involved as in the case of network monitoring.  Depending on your service agreements, you may even charge an additional rate for responding to any alerts arising from the monitoring agreement.

Becoming an online backup reseller offers a similar revenue stream.  By moving your customer's data offsite to 'your' online backup service, you are able to charge a fee based on a quota or actual usage.  Installation and additional services such as file restoration may be listed as an additional charge.
