Ian van Reenen, CTO at CentraStage, told us that CentraStage has had an encouraging Q3, although activity in each of our markets has been clearly influenced by the perceived impact of the spending review in each particular market segment.
“In general we have seen a renewed interest from our customers in understanding the benefits and savings offered by a managed IT solution accompanied by a willingness to adopt technical solutions to overcome budgetary pressures.
“Education remains a major focus for us and, while having been spared the deeper cuts, we have seen increased interest from the sector in the performance and efficiency gains experienced by our existing customers.
“Our focus has been on training workshops and knowledge sharing to assist authorities in formulating new strategies in the light of the cuts announced. Particularly pleasing has been the confirmation of intended benefits experienced by our early adopters, putting them on the front foot with regard to the increased challenges now being faced.
“Q3 saw a doubling in numbers of small business customers serviced through CentraStage Online, our SaaS cloud offering. Statistically we have seen an increase in usage of the platform to enable monitoring and remotely deploy software as opposed to the historical focus on desktop sharing and remote takeover.
“This indicates a growing desire and necessity for small IT support businesses to automate their services in order to serve an increased customer base without increasing cost: a very positive indicator for our business but also indicative of the willingness to get on with business despite the tougher climate.
“CentraStage expects a challenging but positive Q4 as customers both grapple with internal efficiencies and demand more from their providers. We believe that our ‘do more with less’ mantra positions us well to thrive in the current economic climate and we fully expect to meet our targets and experience healthy growth over the coming year.”
