A start-up Health, Safety and Environmental Training company based near Cardiff has invested in £40,000 worth of IT infrastructure.

Astutis provides accredited training and consultancy to businesses across the UK with its programme of courses which started in May 2011.

Three of the directors have a combined experience of 50 years in delivering health, safety and environmental training with locally based CHSS (Corporate Health and Safety Solutions).

Newport-based Certus IT has provided IT systems, including two servers, new computers and a full communications network for Astutis’ new office space totaling 2,000 sq ft at Charnwood Court, Nantgarw.

In addition, the IT consultancy will supply Astutis with a three-year support and back-up and disaster recovery service.

Astutis Safety & Environmental Training SolutionsSteve Terry, managing director at Astutis, said: “We rely heavily on our web and programme development to make sure our training courses are continually up-to-date with the latest legislation and training techniques.  Similarly, we handle thousands of delegates UK-wide and need to ensure that quality management and communication is never compromised. A reliable IT system is integral to our growth”.

“Certus IT was able to offer the best equipment to suit our needs as well as a professional support service to ensure we were up and running as quickly as possible.

“They’re also providing a specialist disaster recovery programme to provide peace of mind that we’re back online within sixty minutes of any IT failure. This is especially important to us as a new business, where every minute is key to building up our success.”

Jason Fitzgerald, sales and marketing director at Certus IT said: “Many start-up companies delay investing in IT systems from the outset and are faced with complications when their current IT networks are outgrown.

“Astutis has invested in an advanced IT system from the start, and will be in a very advantageous position as the company reaches its projected turnover and continues to grow.

“We were also aware when in talks with Astutis that it relies heavily on its IT networks in order to provide its services. With this in mind, we were able to offer a fully-protected system along with a complete back-up and disaster recovery solution, to ensure that any downtime experienced will not be detrimental to the growth of the business at this important time in its development.”
