Welcome to the Datrix Blog

Datrix is the latest partner to introduce SentinelOne to its portfolio of cybersecurity products – increasing SentinelOne’s presence in the UK.

Thursday 3 April 2019— Datrix today announced that they have joined forces with SentinelOne in order to deliver best in class, endpoint security to their customers. Having delivered networking, security and communications solutions to some of the UK’s largest public and private institutions, Datrix is delighted to welcome SentinelOne to the fold with their visionary next generation Endpoint Solution. SentinelOne recently picked up Gartner’s Peer Insights customers’ choice for EPP and EDR in 2018 and 2019, respectively.

We are absolutely delighted to announce that Datrix has achieved Triple Master Specialization across all Extreme Networks technologies – the first partner to do so in the UK! With Master Specialization accreditation in three key areas – Agile Data Center, Smart OmniEdge and Automated Campus – Datrix  is uniquely positioned to deliver high-quality end-to-end IT infrastructure solutions for its customers.

Furthermore, Datrix is also certified PartnerWorks, which means we offer a wide variety of maintenance services to augment our own value-add services. This provides us with a competitive edge, enabling us to implement and deliver superior services. Datrix’s continued investment in its staff and expertise has been vital in achieving these certifications and has subsequently been acknowledged by Extreme Networks.

Commercial Services Kent Limited (CSKL) partnered with Datrix for the delivery of a fully managed cloud-based telephony and data infrastructure including WAN, LAN and wireless solutions in addition to voice, UC, contact centre and voice recording solutions.

Datrix delivered a fully cloud based telephony solution based upon Unify’s OpenScape suite of products and applications, to provide connectivity & collaboration tools between all sites and all employees, whether office based, mobile or home workers.

What does it mean to be in the Cloud?

The market for cloud computing and applications has been maturing rapidly over the past five years. As it continues to evolve, more and more local authorities are migrating to the cloud to take advantage of greater agility, scalability and cost-savings.

There have been barriers that have kept local government CIOs from a broader adoption of cloud technology, including budget and contractual considerations. Perhaps one of the most enduring obstacles has been a lingering concern around how secure the cloud truly is?

What's Included:

• Welcome to the Era of the Anywhere Worker
• From ISDN to SIP
• Case Studies; Horsham District Council and Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council

We are excited to announce that Datrix have been shortlisted in the Best Networking or Communications Provider category for the Computing Technology Product Awards 2018.

Following on from our successful year which saw us move to a new office location and receive recognition for Cloud innovation from our partner, Unify Atos, we have recently been shortlisted for this year’s  Computing Technology Product Awards, held in London on 30^th November.

In today’s customer-oriented, digitised society, the Transport & Logistics industry is under constant pressure to remain competitive, deliver high quality services to customers and adopt innovative ways to optimise their processes.

One obvious requirement for any Logistics business is the need to keep track of what is going on in real-time, making Voice over IP a very useful technology.

VoIP for Logistics delivers:

• Access to voicemail and call-taking from the warehouse floor to call centres and business offices
  
  
• Reduced phone service fees and charges
  
  
• The ability to record calls; aiding supervisory staff in ensuring that customers’ needs are well supported. Voice recordings can also be consulted during the investigation of any disputes that are raised

If you are currently working in IT in the lead up to the GDPR implementation date (25 May 2018) you were probably trying to decipher the huge volume of data available on how to be GDPR compliant. I had already spent the year prior quietly reading and trying to absorb the thousands of free (!!!) GDPR resources online and I was becoming increasingly disillusioned at the reams of conflicting advice that seemed to emerge each day. More so because colleagues and customers alike were looking at me to advise them on the best way forward.

As GDPR day came ever closer I discovered that “IT Governance”, a well-known provider of risk management and compliance training were offing a one day “Certified” GDPR training course, just down the road from our offices in London. As it was a foundation course that was aimed at novices I jumped at the chance to clarify my thoughts and gain the knowledge I needed when I was offered the chance to attend as part of our own GDPR compliance initiative.

Unify, the Atos brand for communications software and services has just announced that they have rewarded Datrix with the Cloud Focus Recognition Award. 

With almost a decade alongside Unify, now Atos, we are proud to be their longest established enterprise cloud partner and we believe have set the standard for enterprise cloud communications solutions.

I have great pleasure in confirming that Datrix have been recognised in our Mid-Year awards for their focus on Cloud. The award was based upon segment focus, sales and technical capabilities. Please pass my thanks on to your entire team for their efforts!

Our Success

In the wake of the substantial 2017 growth, Datrix recently relocated to the brand new, cutting-edge facility in the centre of Clerkenwell on 25th June 2018.
