| Renaissance Contingency Services
30 years seems a long time, but also a short time because like all time it flies by. Change takes place constantly.Renaissance started in 1987 with an innovative service in Ireland, a disaster Recovery service based on the delivery of mobile cold computer rooms to subscribers on standby. These were designed for IBM4300’s, DEC Vax and ICL equipment. This market developed and grew but server based computing changed all. 
“The youth of 2015 live their lives with computing and communications being an embedded part of their everyday existence,” Michael Conway, MD The data security side of Renaissance started in 1988 with our appointment as Sophos distributors in Ireland. The landscape was very different then and ultimately technology has become embedded in our everyday lives and is very much a part of the way in which we live and work. The advent of PC’s and networking and server based systems with the addition of the availability of significant bandwidth for all has changed things forever. Systems were inaccessible and linking systems together was a nightmare, in particular, remote communications was virtually impossible. In 2015 we talk about cloud computing, the IoT and all that entails. These were impossible without the changes mentioned. The youth of 2015 live their lives with computing and communications being an embedded part of their everyday existence. PC’s and their relatively low cost and their availability has changed computing forever and also has changed our lives. We live with wireless and wired networks virtually everywhere and 4G telecommunications making life now so very different to 30 years ago. From the point of view of Renaissance, accessible and flexible computing has changed the perimeter of computing forever and the threats and vulnerabilities which such change has made means that controls and security is now key for everyone and every organisation.

By far the biggest technology innovation in our 20 years in business has to be the introduction of email and the ecommerce explosion which followed. This certainly opened up bigger reach for us to both supplier and customer opportunity. We have, and continue to embrace the changing technology landscape by innovation, forward thinking, looking at market trends and a little bit of gut! Congratulations to TechPro on your 30 years.
