• Adoption and implementation of industry best practices in IAM
• Provision of effective auditing and reporting of accurate data

• The solution ought to be all-encompassing and include cloud, containers, existing backup and recovery, virtualization, I/O optimization, deduplication and snapshot management

In addition, this exacting client stressed their total cost of ownership expectations and the regulations and mandates they sought to comply with.

Throughout the pandemic, we responded swiftly to new rules and regulations, rising up to the challenge of a fast-changing landscape to protect the safety and health of our people. We carry out weekly COVID-19 tests for our staff and boast a fully equipped office, including hand gel, high-quality masks and thermometers. Where employees have had to conduct work off-site, we enforced strict social distancing protocols to protect everyone involved.

Importantly, we have supported our staff working remotely and, as expert tech consultants, we spent much of the pandemic working with our clients and partners to unlock safe, streamlined and efficient remote working processes for their own organizations – allowing those who trust us with their digital infrastructure to overcome these obstacles and thrive.

As a tech-forward, future-proof company, Accutech embraces sustainability and takes solid steps to help our planet.

On our premises, we have installed dedicated recycling bins, and recycle consumables such as ink toners as well as electronics. We enforce Think Before You Print, which results in up to 50% less paper waste, and actively encourage our clients and partners to do the same. Energy-saving policies and equipment, such as lightbulbs, add to efforts.

What’s more, Accutech’s state-of-the-art solutions can even render your organization more eco-conscious. For instance, virtualization could minimize your electric usage. Let’s work together to improve your systems and processes – as well as the environment.

A 21^st-century company can only be an active part of its community. The Accutech ethos of openness, expertise and continuous improvement finds further expression via the company’s corporate social responsibility, which takes the form of donations to charity, participation in local initiatives and more. It’s something we are proud of, and an area we are looking to further expand on in the near future.

Recognizing how important socially responsible efforts are to their customers, employees and stakeholders, many companies focus on a few broad CSR categories, including: 

1. Environmental awareness: One primary focus of CSR is the environment. Businesses, regardless of size, have large carbon footprints. Any steps a company can take to reduce its footprint is considered good for both the company and society.
   

2. Social impact: Businesses can practice social responsibility by donating money, products or services to social causes and nonprofits. Larger companies tend to have plentiful resources that can benefit charities and local community programs; however, as a small business, your efforts can make a big difference. If there is a specific charity or program you have in mind, reach out to the organization and ask them about their specific needs and whether a donation of money, time or perhaps your company's products would best help them.
   

3. Ethical labor practices & COVID-19: By treating employees fairly and ethically, companies can demonstrate CSR. This is especially true of businesses that operate in international locations with labor laws that differ from those in Europe
