IT (Information Technology) consultancy Moon Lambo has partnered with Data Management Professionals South Africa (DMP SA) in an effort to better meet its clients’ requirements for backup and disaster recovery services and solutions.  

Client background

Moon Lambo is an independent IT consultancy firm run by founder and Chief Truth Officer, Clifford Besseling, who has more than 17 years’ experience in the IT industry. Moon Lambo was established in 2016 and is built on the principles of openness, honesty, ethicality, and straightforwardness, which underpin the consulting services and advice that it provides to clients. Moon Lambo provides consulting services in the areas of data management, backup, and Disaster Recovery (DR), governance, risk and compliance, cybercrime insurance, IT hardware, and licensing.

The challenge

About three years ago, Moon Lambo realised that it was relying on multiple vendors and felt that the products and solutions offered did not completely meet its clients’ needs and requirements. Some of the solutions were either too hardware-intensive or too limited, while others did not have particularly competitive pricing and licensing models. The company was ultimately looking for greater flexibility around the products, pricing and licensing structure of data backup and DR solutions. Ideally, Moon Lambo wanted to engage with a partner that would not only understand its business and its clients’ needs, but could also build solutions and offer services according to those needs, instead of forcing clients to adopt off-shelf solutions that might not necessarily meet their needs. 

The solution

While searching for the right partner, Moon Lambo was introduced to DMP SA, which offers end-to-end data management solutions and services. DMP SA has positioned itself as a trusted advisor for data management and backup to its customers and focuses on building long-lasting relationships. Entering a partnership with DMP SA gave Moon Lambo access to solutions and services that meet its base level requirements of flexibility and ease of use, combined with simplified administration from a client perspective and an attractive licensing model. The partnership with DMP SA also allowed Moon Lambo to work with a partner that demonstrated the flexibility and desire to build solutions around its clients’ needs.

The result

Since partnering with DMP SA, Moon Lambo has seen its clients realising a cost saving of between 20% and 30% with the enterprise grade solutions and services that DMP SA brings to the table. This cost saving is not only monetary, but also in the form of reduced operational effort and administrative burden. DMP SA’s solutions and services are backed by the company’s extensive experience and proven track record, including an experienced team of data management engineers offering 24/7/365 local support. 

By utilising the range of solutions and services from DMP SA, clients do not need multiple tools to interrogate or manage their various datasets. Irrespective of where the data resides, all the tools are available in one place to manage and protect data in the cloud, on-premises and for hybrid environments. This makes administration of cross-platform environments pain-free and frees up time for already stretched IT resources to focus on other core aspects of their internal SLA’s. In addition, the solutions and services remove the challenges of using mult
