dns, one of the UK’s foremost providers of managed security services, has fought off fierce competition to partner with Affiniti, the communications integrator. The move kick-starts the launch of dns’ channel programme, part of its aggressive UK and global expansion strategy.
Affiniti selected dns’ Managed Security Services (MSS) as its preferred security provider over established international vendors. It was attracted to dnsMSS because of its track record and UK presence as well as its highly specialist and dedicated security skills and technology, all as part of a consultant led service – providing customers with 24/7, consolidated security protection.
Affiniti, a Kingston Communications business, specialises in converged communications and its security services partnership was put out to tender in order to provide best in class managed security solutions for its customers. As a UK-based company, with proven international capabilities, Affiniti found that dns could offer the responsiveness and flexibility needed to offer its customers security and peace of mind – assisted by its guarantee to assign strong project management to each implementation.
“We’re very excited to be working with dns to offer our customers a round the clock security service,” said Vaughan Davies, Product Marketing Manager for Affiniti’s Secure Line of Business. “Its proven responsiveness, flexibility and impressive range of services put dns decisively at the head of the pack. While dns is expanding rapidly, it is extremely reactive, even at short notice and it delivers. As a company dedicated to providing an excellent service with an emphasis on customer satisfaction, we felt that dns would prove a good fit for Affiniti.”
“We’re delighted to be launching our channel programme – especially when a company the calibre of Affiniti has chosen us as its partner,” said Peter Hannah, partner manager at dns. “We will be working closely with Affiniti to ensure that both our companies’ delivery and support processes are finely tuned to ensure complete customer satisfaction. We have complete faith in the service which provides clients with 24/7 security monitoring and incident response.”
