ContinuitySA appoints CEO
Michael Davies has been appointed CEO of ContinuitySA, a provider of business continuity services.
The post of managing director was created for Davies in July 2011 as part of a phased succession plan to prepare the company for the retirement of former CEO, Allen Smith.
Smith will assume the position of chairman.
As MD, Davies was responsible for ContinuitySA’s core operations. This new move sees him assume responsibility for the entire group, including Globility and Triple4.
Globility provides call centre infrastructure to a range of long- and short-term clients, and is essentially an extension of ContinuitySA’s existing business, which includes providing workplace-recovery solutions for call centres. ContinuitySA acquired 50% of Triple4 in June 2011.
Triple4 provides leading-edge network infrastructure solutions, giving ContinuitySA the ability to deliver hosted virtualised business continuity solutions.
Davies says that the change has not affected ContinuitySA’s overall strategy to continue to be the leading supplier of business continuity management services in Africa.
“The growing availability of affordable bandwidth is changing the face of business continuity management, making it a key contributor to organisational resilience and becoming more operationally relevant to organisations,” he said.
“Combined with bandwidth, virtualisation is helping to create a pool of resources that can be used for testing and other services within the IT department. The resulting move towards the hosting of business continuity management is driving ContinuitySA’s growth in the local market.”
