Mitigis Overview

The Mitigis IT Risk Mitigation solution was launched at a time when current market conditions dictate that expensive licensing technologies coupled with limited local expertise could be too costly for many organizations. Critical back-office IT risks are therefore often ignored, leaving many businesses exposed to daily external threats, or unpredicted failure events. Mitigis combines integrated and relevant technologies on a single device and includes complete remote management with security patch updates as part of the service offering, negating the need for internals to worry about key IT risks or their steep licensing requirements as the organization changes.

The Mitigis Philosophy

Information Technology risk-mitigation is a business prerequisite often overlooked by business leaders due to the silence of data threats. Risks are usually only noticed when unexpected disasters strike, or post investigative evidence suggests unwanted system breaches. Information Capital is at the heart of informed decision making and should be treated as a key asset. The Mitigis Philosophy treats IT risk mitigation as an ongoing process – as opposed to a silver-bullet technology drop. System threats are ever present, both internally and external to the organization. A well-maintained service orientated solution – making use of innovative technology, automated processes, and technical expertise – forms the very essence of Mitigis. Taking into account challenging global trading conditions, Mitigis does not require any capital expenditure on hardware, or software user licenses. As a service based solution, there is a low monthly fee for a period of 12 months, which can be extended. More cost effective than employing these vital skills internally, as well as being cash flow friendly, Mitigis does deliver on all fronts.

The Mitigis Business Model

Mitigis is designed to deliver quality services on a single hardware device, which is installed onsite. Every installation differs according to business needs and the device is configured to seamlessly integrate into the network. The once-off implementation fee is predetermined according to configuration complexity and is graded according to one of 5 fixed-cost categories: Micro, Small, Medium, Large, and Enterprise. Only two monthly pricing models apply, which is primarily based on the services effort required from Imperative Informatics (Africa). The Mitigis solution automates many of the skills organizations do not have access to, or skills they simply cannot afford to permanently employ. Mitigis is well suited to almost any IT landscape – whether these are serviced by an internal IT department, or via a preferred IT services partner.
