Intronis Names Jacquelyn Barry Hamilton its Chief Financial Officer

BOSTON – May 9, 2012 – Intronis, the world’s leading cloud backup and recovery solution for the IT Channel, today announced the appointment of Jacquelyn Barry Hamilton to CFO.

Hamilton is a veteran of the IT services market, having served as CFO for Corporate Software, a company that grew to become a $1 billion global software reseller and services company. In her new position, she will lead the finance team at Intronis, which has achieved more than 50 percent year-over-year growth.

“Jackie’s leadership will be invaluable to Intronis during this exciting and fast-paced period of rapid growth,” said Kent Plunkett, CEO at Intronis. “Her experience managing a fast growing IT services firm makes her a great addition to our executive team. She’ll manage our finance function and partner with our operating managers, ensuring we continue to deliver the world-class backup solution and great support that our MSP and IT channel partners have come to expect from Intronis.”

Hamilton joins Intronis from Monster Worldwide, where she served for eight years – four years as divisional CFO of Monster Worldwide Technologies and four years in corporate finance as a vice president. As CFO of Monster Worldwide Technologies, Jackie led the financial operations for global software engineering and the IT infrastructure of Monster Worldwide.

As CFO of Corporate Software, Hamilton led the financial operations of the company, raised debt and equity capital, and managed the successful acquisition of the company by Level 3 Communications. Following the acquisition, Hamilton served as senior vice president of the Information Services Group of Level 3 Communication and was responsible for the division’s mergers and acquisitions activities. A graduate of Simmons College, Hamilton received her master’s degree in finance from Boston College.

“Intronis’ reputation in the channel as a service and reliability leader attracted me to the position as well as the opportunity for continued company growth,” Hamilton said. “I am excited to be back working in the channel, especially as part of a strong senior management team who is committed to our reseller partners’ future growth and success.”

IT Service Provider Recovers a Decade of Lost Tax Data with Intronis

Electronic and Computer Specialties Honored With Intronis Hero Award for Great Online Backup Practices

BOSTON – April 24, 2012 – Brent Fairbanks recently had opportunity to save one of his clients from a catastrophic loss of 10 years of mission-critical data.

Last month Fairbanks, the manager of Electronic and Computer Specialties of California, was contacted by a client CPA firm when a key tax program stopped working. Fairbanks learned that an employee wanted to remove the tax program from an old computer. Rather than uninstall the program in question from the computer, the employee deleted a related folder from the server that stored 10 years of programs and data.

The data loss was significant, and included critical financial information the firm needed to continue managing its clients’ accounts. The firm’s operations would have been at risk if the data wasn’t recovered. Using Intronis Cloud Backup and Recovery, Fairbanks was able to restore the data – more than 20 gigabytes worth – in a few hours. Operations continued with minimal interruption and no lasting consequence.

“My client was operating as if nothing had gone wrong,” Fairbanks said. “The consequences would have been severe if we weren’t able to recover the data. Intronis’ software is very intuitive, so even though I may run restores infrequently, recovery is simple, fast and complete.”

Founded by Fairbanks in 1986, Electronic & Computer Specialties provides managed backup services, Internet presence services, software products and services, and video surveillance products and services throughout Southern California.

Intronis, the world’s leading cloud backup and recovery solution for the IT Channel, solicits success stories from its partners as part of its Intronis Hero Award program. Intronis selects and features one story each month to serve as an example of how our partners can be heroes to their clients.
