Data Revolution Keeps Businesses Connected
One of Co:Lab’s busiest tenants during the COVID-19 pandemic has been IT Support Providers Data Revolution. Their assistance has helped Northwest Florida businesses remain connected in a variety of ways. “There is no perfect solution because everyone has a different need, but we are doing our best,†says Jay Smith, Managing Partner.
On the phone and connectivity side, Data Rev has worked to forward phone calls to cell phones and extensions, as well as, installing phones on desks at home. Cyber Security is more important than ever. “One of the biggest worries from home is security. At-home laptops raise security issues.â€
Jay says that during such a difficult time, Data Rev has really benefited from being a part of Co:Lab. “With a plethora of assistance coming from the all over, Co:Lab helped filter all the noise and explain in simple terms the opportunities and qualifications for each benefit and how to get started. Having the coaches say, ‘Here is a daily update on what matters to you,’ has really helped us understand what applies to our business, says Jay.
