A computer repair provider which provides on-site technology support to homes and businesses has become a new channel for Acronis A/NZ, selling backup and disaster recovery software directly to its customers.

Geeks2U innundated with calls about data loss
Geeks2U will now offer a disaster recovery solution to protect customers against potential problems, in addition to its traditional support services.

According to Geeks2U managing director, David Hancock, in the last 12 months the business has seen an increasing demand from customers for advice and recommendations on how to back up their computers and protect themselves against potential system failure and data loss.

He said: “Our technicians have been using Acronis for a while and found that their solutions are powerful, reliable and extremely easy to use. When asked to recommend backup and recovery solutions by our customers, we made the decision to introduce Acronis products and make them available for our customers to purchase through our technicians.”

Bill Taylor Mountford, general manager of Acronis, said he was delighted to work with Geeks2U because unlike large enterprises with a dedicated IT team and a budget to match, SMBs and home users have to depend on reliable software to secure their data.

“Being the expert in the backup and recovery space, we understand the needs of SMBs and home users, and we provide products specifically designed for them at an affordable price. We hope that Geeks2U customers will benefit from the most advanced imaging technology from Acronis, while they enjoy the high standard services from Geeks2U,” Mountford added.
