IT INFRASTRUCTURE AND DATA SAFETY

  • PTM’s data is stored on servers in a secure, fire and power protected co-location site. All data from the co-location site is further backed up to the head office in Markham. The head office location acts as the disaster recovery site should there be a loss of any of the servers or data at the co-location site.
  • PTM’s voice/call centre has a four hour response time for activation of a new phone system.
  • A specialized team of IT professionals ensures that all electronic and technical aspects of each process continue without any disruptions to operations.

For each project, the PTM account service team provides valuable consulting on audience selection, channel selection and program optimization.
