TESTIMONIAL TUESDAYS

At CDS, our entire ethos is centred around doing what is right for our clients, so it's easy to forget all of the little things you do for clients. We forget, but our clients don't.

Here's a fantastic example from one of our oldest clients, Solicitor's and Estate Agents Blair & Bryden Solicitors Clydebank.

Kris, our client relationship manager (and technical wizard) was out to deliver a newly setup laptop to one of Blair & Bryden's offices. When he arrived, the team were having issues with their emails, and there wasn't a chance Kris would leave them struggling with the issue, so he...

"spent most of the day sorting them. CDS are brilliant, efficient, hard working, dedicated and always at the end of the telephone line for help."

CDS always have your back, if you are looking for a reliable and on hand IT firm who go above and beyond, then reach out!

TESTIMONIAL TUESDAYS 🥳

Today’s testimonial is from a client who has since passed onto other pastures (for good reasons) but they were one of our oldest clients, joining us in 2001. Gone but not forgotten, we wanted to share some of their kind words. Here's what they had to say about us:

"[CDS have] creativity, a genuine desire to get to know our business and provide solutions based on that knowledge. When we deal with them, we feel good about it. They are an excellent fit for our business."

☁️💾 CLOUD STORAGE 💾☁️

Did you know? 99% of lost data comes from human error?

So what can you do when you can't find a file and its not in your recycle bin? Well if your data is stored with the major cloud storage suppliers... you can't do much.

Cloud Storage is fast becoming a business essential, it's convenient, accessible, and versatile. It seems to be a modern innovation but can you believe CDS have been providing Cloud Services for almost 20 years? In all of that time, we have a 100% success rate for data recovery on our cloud systems, and we don't waste your time with AI chatbots or 24 hour ticket times.

CDS offer superior cloud services up to any storage size, with hands-on support that ensures your business data is secure and accessible when you need it.

We have found out that Cloudflare, who are a huge provider of internet services, is down. This may affect any number of online services you access. I am afraid we can’t do anything about it.

Common services such as ChatGPT, and X are simply down until Cloudflare fixes the issue.

It’s not going to affect your email services or any service you have with CDS.

📯🗞️ GLOBAL INCIDENT 🗞️📯

Imagine your entire team locked out of Microsoft 365 — what’s your backup plan?

Last week a Microsoft Azure outage left millions of individuals and businesses in a tough situation. From digital coffee machines refusing to start to total shut down of Microsoft 365 services, businesses were being locked out of their products, some even their entire systems. This was caused by a DNS error that affected approximately 20% of the internet! A major outage, leading to millions of hours of downtime, worldwide, but what if it had went on even longer?

How can your business protect itself from something similar?

Get yourself set up with CDS. We have options for physical and cloud based systems that don’t rely on Azure. Whether it’s email, remote working, storage, or back ups, we have you covered.

Reach out if you’re looking for IT infrastructure that you can rely on!

🔐💻 Cyber Security Awareness Month 💻🔐

Passwords ✔️ Updates ✔️ Backups ✔️ Authentication ✔️

Tip 5 of 5:

📧 Disable Email Macros 📧

Macros can be programmed into attachments and, once opened and enabled, can infect your system. You can disable macros as default in Microsoft Office applications, however, if your organisation regularly uses them, consider enabling with caution only for trusted users.

🔐💻 Cyber Security Awareness Month 💻🔐

You've updated your passwords, backups are done, now let's add an extra layer of protection.

Tip 4 of 5:

☑️ Activate Multi-Factor Authentication ☑️

Multi-factor authentication uses either a text or email based service with OTP (one-time passcodes) or authentication through an app. It's simple to set up and gives you an added level of security beyond passwords and are suspected to prevent 98% of cyber attacks.
