Stuart Bladen - Chairman
"In recent times we have seen a heightened awareness around information security. Chief information officers are increasingly being asked to go beyond the traditional IT security boundaries to manage IT regulatory requirements, understand risks to corporate information, and help with governing the organisation. This, coupled with a backdrop of external threats to IT infrastructure, has resulted in the increased demand for IT security services.
The acquisition of Vistorm enhances EDS’ existing capabilities, specifically in the areas of Information Assurance and Managed Security Services, and provides EDS with a strong platform to address this market.
The combination of EDS and Vistorm creates a strong platform and a leading brand in IT Security to address the substantial market opportunity in the UK and EMEA. At the same time it strengthens EDS’ and Vistorm’s capability and strong market credibility.
I am delighted to be part of the new team."
Darron Antill - Chief Executive
"Critical to having an impact in this market is having the right kind of technology, skills and above all relationships. I‘ve witnessed huge changes in the market, in particular the security sector in my time. We focus on the real issues and pull together the best in class and relevant technologies to deal with a variety of issues facing our customers. What makes us different is our independence, our capabilities and the sheer range of services we deliver today."
Dan Turner - General Manager
"Safeguarding business critical information and service platforms is more challenging today than ever before. The increasing complexity of the task only serves to fuel our drive for taming the information risks inherent in modern day business operations. We've invested effort in translating the complexity around managing information liabilities into a language that executives can understand and act on. An Information Assurance dashboard is an effective executive management tool when configured appropriately and this together with a range of Solutions that we have built through experience in working in these complex areas defines our Consulting Practice as one of the most relevant in the market today."
Meurig Jones- General Manager
"As the risks and challenges around information security continue to escalate Vistorm has responded with the development of The Platform. This integrated delivery tool ensures world-class services levels where we deploy our expertise, capabilities, tools and methodologies to maximum effect.The depth, breadth and loyalty of our client portfolio clearly demonstrate the positive impact we create. Our track record in helping our Clients address the strategic and operational challenges of Information Assurance has become an important differentiator for us."
We are able to meet the constant security challenge that requires organisations to build relationships with trusted and flexible suppliers who can really understand the business requirements.
Increasingly we are finding that our clients are asking us to solve real business issues by designing the right solution, choosing the right technologies, and providing an ongoing service to keep the deployed solution in a constant fit for purpose state. Our investment in a resilient Secure Operations Centre that is manned 24x7 and our commitment to create and adapt services to meet actual client needs has seen our Managed Services grow significantly. We are not only able to pick the right technologies from a very broad and comprehensive portfolio but we can take on responsibility for running it to allow clients to focus on their core business."
Mark Lawrence- Director, Services Operations
"In entrusting us to integrate, support and manage their business critical systems our customers expect us to deliver the very highest levels of service. Service delivery is built upon people, processes and systems and a result we focus on developing the capability of our people; the continuous improvement of our processes and the development of our systems. We actively seek feedback from our employees and our customers and use this feedback to validate the success of the improvements we have already made as well as shaping future development. We take pride in delivering reliable, repeatable and scalable services that meet the understandably high expectations of our customers."
Jennie Cronin - Human Resources
"Recognising that people are our most valuable asset and developing a culture that encourages our people to evolve with the organisation is what Vistorm is all about. We have a strong focus on personal development and recognise the importance and value of supporting our employees to achieve the highest possible standards of professionalism. It feels good to be in a position to shape our policies to provide: a good work-life balance for all of our employees, an environment that promotes all levels of communication and an excellent benefits package that enables us to share our success. Vistorm is made up of an exceptional group of individuals who are committed to what they do and it is these individuals that will drive our business forward."
Jon Furber - Finance and Operations
"We have an enviable portfolio of customers with sound financial backgrounds and have developed close working relationships with key vendors and suppliers. These factors, coupled with rigorous financial controls and a high ethical commercial stance, make Vistorm a company to trust as a business partner, not simply as a supplier of services. We continue to invest in new areas where we can add value especially in our services capabilities which, for me, means that the sound financial backing for the business has enabled significant growth which in turn is shaping our business for the future."
