Background 

Pozitif Varlık Yönetim A.Ş. is an expert in banking, finance and law sectors which delivers services to individuals and companies who face challenges in regaining financial freedom. These services include asset management activities such as financial structure consulting, purchasing and selling of non-performing receivables (NPL) portfolios and other assets, in accordance with industry regulations. Based in Istanbul, Turkey, the company serves customers contributing to the Turkish economy.  

Pozitif Varlık Yönetim A.Ş. relies on their MSP, RPM Teknoloji vs Danismanlik, for secure backup services. Having previously worked with leading backup solution players, Pozitif Varlık Yönetim A.Ş. noticed a poor return on investment (ROI) from the backup and recovery solution, VEEAM. The investment cost toward VEEAM’s tool wasn’t worth the level of security and inefficiency Pozitif Varlık Yönetim A.Ş. experienced as they backed up assets to the cloud. Recognizing secure backups and restores played a crucial role in seamless, swift data recovery, Pozitif Varlık Yönetim A.Ş. knew that was imperative to the company’s ability to return to normal operations quickly.  

Challenges 

In need of an advanced backup solution, Pozitif Varlık Yönetim experienced high resource consumption and a lack of efficient backups, which led the company to reconsider the current backup and cyber protection tool. While using VEEAM, Pozitif Varlık Yönetim dealt with setbacks in terms of both cost and technique when backing up critical assets. Not only concerned with exhausting organizational resources, Pozitif Varlık Yönetim needed to secure 10 virtual servers and wanted peace of mind their organization and employees’ data remained secure. Additionally, the company could not afford a prolonged transition period as their MSP adopted a new tool. This meant the required backup, recovery and cyber protection capabilities would have to provide advanced security, be easy to use and seamlessly integrate with the existing security stack. 

Solution 

As a client of RPM Teknoloji vs Danismanlik, Pozitif Varlık Yönetim made the switch to Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud once the company learned of the advanced security capabilities, especially for backup environments. When choosing a backup solution, Ulaş Demir, IT Manager of Pozitif Varlık Yönetim, stated the three most important benefits Acronis provides included ease of management, light use of capacity and reliable retention of backups with promised recovery time performance in the event of a possible restore. The company concluded Acronis would be a more efficient use of their resources and would provide the comprehensive protection their servers and systems needed. 

Overall, Pozitif Varlık Yönetim reported, that the transition to Acronis was completed in only a few days with the help of RPM Teknoloji vs Danismanlik. Thanks to Acronis’ easy-to-use interface, the finance expert experienced white-glove installation, training and support at every step of the onboarding process which ensured IT personnel could get started using Acronis comfortably within one day of training. This ease of use empowered Pozitif Varlık Yönetim to fully harness Acronis’ secure backup capabilities and achieve rapid time to value (TTV). Smooth set up helped Pozitif Varlık Yönetim quickly leverage Acronis’ powerful integration of cybersecurity, backup and recovery in a single solution. 

“Maintaining backups securely is a huge advantage for both the business and IT staff. Employees who don't have to worry about whether company data is safe become more efficient, and the business becomes more secure.”
Ulaş Demir, IT Manager, Pozitif Varlık Yönetim A.Ş.

Technical and business benefits 

Acronis exceeded Pozitif Varlık Yönetim A.Ş.’s expectations by delivering secure backups and comprehensive cyber protection with high efficiency. The solution reduced the company’s carbon footprint on physical hardware, resulting in a decreased number of devices the security personnel needed to manage. According to Ulaş Demir, “Acronis has provided many benefits such as better use of resources, the opportunity to view details on a single cloud management console and less use of capacity compared to the old solution.” Acronis simplified management of backups and cyber protection in one place which helped Demir and his IT team save time, bandwidth and overhead cost. Now, Pozitif Varlık Yönetim A.Ş, their IT security team and employees no longer need to worry about the safety of their data and are confident the business is overall more secure.
