If you have been in the continuity or technology space for a while, you will remember ContinuitySA.
It was one of the most recognised names in business continuity and disaster recovery in South Africa, and many people either worked with the company, trained there or visited one of its recovery sites over the years.
So the question still comes up often. What happened to ContinuitySA?
The answer is straightforward.
After spending many years within the Dimension Data group, the company stepped out and continued under a new name.
ContinuitySA became Resilient Innovations.
It was not a shutdown and it was not a restart. It is the same business moving into a new phase with a refreshed identity and a clearer purpose.
The people and the experience stayed the same, and the focus on keeping businesses running has remained at the centre of everything.
What changed is the space to modernise the brand, update the approach and shape services around what South African organisations face today, from operational disruption to cyber pressure to the growing shift toward cloud based resilience.
Resilient Innovations has continued that journey in a steady and natural way.
The company now operates a global award-winning disaster recovery site and keeps expanding its service offering, including private cloud aligned recovery solutions and support for clients that want more flexibility and better protection.
There is also ongoing work on forward looking advisory services that will help organisations prepare for the risks they are likely to face in the years ahead.
A major focus for the company today is expanding on their resilience ecosystem that organisations rely on and grow within.
This includes access to dependable data centres, practical risk advisory services, work area recovery sites and a range of solutions designed to keep businesses operating even when conditions become difficult.
The idea is to surround clients with everything they need to stay resilient, not only during a crisis but as part of their everyday operations.
So while the name changed, the core did not.
The same commitment, the same reliability and the same passion for resilience are still there, supported by a brand that is more current, more connected to the market and more focused on the future.
For anyone who has ever worked with ContinuitySA and wondered where it went, the answer is simple. It is still here.
It has simply grown and evolved as Resilient Innovations.
