Maas Global Entrusts GSI with Complete Management and Security of IT Environment
Kansas City, Mo. (April 22, 2010) – Managed services provider GreenSoft Solutions, Inc. ("GSI"), announces a new agreement with Maas Global Solutions to provide comprehensive compliant managed services for all Maas Global production systems. The arrangement builds upon GSI's existing contract that provides Maas Global with disaster recovery services at GSI's Airworld Technology Center in Kansas City, Missouri.
"We have enjoyed a satisfying, highly productive relationship with GSI, and our decision to outsource all of our server management to GSI was based on our experience with them in terms of data security, service management and client support," said Troy Maas, CEO of Maas Global. "This strategic evolution of our partnership with GSI will allow Maas Global to focus our internal resources and efforts on other critical initiatives. We will also realize an almost immediate ROI because of our ability to retain use of our own infrastructure and equipment, while leveraging GSI's wealth of security and IT experience."
Under the new agreement, GSI assumes responsibility for remote management of all Maas Global production systems that are located in Los Angeles, at a PCI DSS compliant management level. Reallocation of resources at Maas Global prompted GSI to quickly step in and lend their IT expertise, including assistance with the company's PCI DSS audit.
GSI is highly experienced in data security and PCI DSS compliance. When the major card brands initiated the CISP/PCI compliance program in 2004, GSI was the first managed service provider in the world to meet the stringent security criteria by becoming 100% PCI DSS compliant for managed services. Since then, GSI has continued to build upon its expertise, helping companies like Maas Global understand the complexities of security and achieve their own compliance.
"GSI is pleased to expand our relationship with Maas Global and help them achieve the highest levels of data security," said Nate Brancato, GSI's SVP - Business Development. "Our ability to continually evaluate the client's situation and tailor their solution accordingly is one of GSI's hallmarks. And the agreement with Maas Global gives testimony to GSI's ability to deliver on this philosophy and proactively respond to our clients' immediate and long-term needs for compliant managed services."
