Telefonica Will Support Datapro-Global Outsource Growth and Business Continuity



CORAL GABLES, FL -- Telefónica’s US Subsidiary has signed an agreement to streamline Datapro-Global Outsource’s existing data network, which includes customers in Panama, Antigua, Venezuela, New York and Miami, by housing their data operations out of the KeyCenter (Data Center) in Miami, Florida. In an effort to implement the most robust solution possible, DataPro Global Outsource have secured Workgroup Recovery space at the KeyCenter to provide their key employees with guaranteed local workspace in a category 5 facility that allows them to operate seamlessly prior to, during, and after an emergency or disaster to complement DataPro Global Outsource’s business continuity and disaster recovery plan in addition to their Tampa Operations Site.

“The fact that our servers are being hosted out of Telefonica’s KeyCenter will result in more reliability and availability of service. Those are benefits that have a significant impact on our overall efficiency.” said William Montiel, VP – Director of Marketing of DataPro. “Among them are the facts that both companies are SAS 70 certified and well-known in the Latin American Market. Furthermore, this is the beginning of our relationship and a lot of ideas will pop-up. We want to do much more with Telefonica’s US Subsidiary, a lot of the next steps will be accomplished by partnering with a single provider, like Telefonica, to make future application deployments and future customers’ outsourcing needs more seamless than ever.”

Telefonica combines its knowledge and experience in the Latin American, Caribbean, and European regions with its vast resources in infrastructure and personnel to provide its clients with the ability to address all of their communication needs in the regions via a single provider. Its robust technology combined with its efficient management practices enable it to truly partner with clients, such as DataPro Global Outsource, to create solutions that meet business objectives by improving performance and improving return on investment.
