Disaster Recovery
If a disaster strikes causing catastrophic system failure and major disruption of your operations, you must be prepared to mitigate risk and restore order. Your staff and clients depend on your actionable emergency response plan. Gravitas Technology helps financial services firms protect their assets, maintain business continuity, satisfy compliance requirements, and ensure their clients’ peace of mind.

To ensure your firm’s resiliency under extraordinary circumstances, we offer everything from basic email and file hosting to a full-scale, turn-key disaster recovery facility with 24/7 remote access to all critical applications and systems, including a reserved trading desk. As business and regulatory requirements change and technologies improve, we keep your disaster recovery plan current with recommended updates.

Our services include business continuity planning; disaster recovery site set-up and monitoring; and complete design, implementation, and ongoing support. Gravitas has disaster recovery facilities in New York City, Upstate NY, San Jose, CA, Secaucus, NJ, and London, England.

Project Management
Rapidly growing investment management firms need to focus on maintaining their competitive edge, not on the logistics associated with moving offices, building out data centers or executing engineering projects. Firms can rely on Gravitas Technology’s Systems Integration Project Management group to take complete ownership of these key projects, to ensure business continues to run smoothly and the firm is positioned for success in future.

Planning and design
