Case Study: NortecHelps Client Resume Operations in Record Time

When the Association for Print Technologies (APTech, formerly known as NPES)had a significant server failure,Nortec restored them in less than half a day – a full 6 ½ days ahead of when they expected to have their network up and running. Because we had prepared them for this type of incident by shifting their operations to a pre-staged Azure server, they wereensured a level of business continuity that kept the organization running smoothly in the worst-case scenario.

“If I had not made that decision to go with Nortec, it could have been a week with the other vendor. It made me feel very strong about my level of confidence in Nortec and our disaster plan,” said Jesus Romero, the organization’s database and technology director.
