Mitigating Risk and Safeguarding Growth With a UPS Subscription

22nd March 2023

For forward-thinking SMEs, an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is seen as non-negotiable when it comes to protecting the business. But many will think their only or best option is a plug-and-play UPS system: the kind of standardised, ‘off-the-shelf’ equipment that’s purchased without much planning.

However, Carter Sullivan is making tailor-made UPS systems more affordable to businesses of all sizes, democratising comprehensive business safeguarding in a way that fully supports growth. It’s called the Future-Proof Protection subscription. It packages together all the necessary UPS installation, maintenance and aftercare for a small, monthly fixed fee. All of which makes a UPS subscription a must-have rather than a nice-to-have.

How does a UPS subscription mitigate risk?

There’s a lot to lose. Precious data isn’t all that can disappear during a power spike or outage, but orders, enquiries and revenue, too. In its wake, you can feel obliged to fork out even further on compensation to restore the faith of your clients or regain the goodwill of your customers.

With a UPS subscription from Carter Sullivan, the system is tailor-made to your business’s specifications, while alternatives such as a plug-and-play UPS offer standardised capabilities that leave you hoping they’re enough. When it turns out they’re not, you have to wait for your network to reboot and purchase a new UPS entirely.

This is more than a major inconvenience for industries such as events or healthcare. There are dangerous safety implications for these sectors, losing access to critical infrastructure or information. But power issues can wreak havoc for any business, as overheating UPS equipment can damage physical infrastructure, sometimes with literally explosive consequences.

Carter Sullivan’s UPS subscription not only includes seamless installation that takes into account your site environment, but also comprehensive aftercare with check-ups, upgrades and maintenance. This means you’re not left oblivious to creeping vulnerabilities in your equipment and the mounting risk of malfunction. It’s the power of peace of mind.

“Our expert maintenance ensures that your UPS will last you as long as you need it to,” says Luke Andrews, Carter Sullivan’s Sales Manager. “It also ensures its reliability, and that in the event of an outage it will protect you from any downtime.”

How does a UPS subscription support business growth?

For SMEs, our UPS subscription isn’t just about neutralising the impact of any business incidents, but driving and future-proofing progress. A UPS system is part of the infrastructure that will evolve as your business does. It’s not just adding equipment as you acquire or expand sites, but ensuring you have the protection and back-up as your demand and your data balloons. A UPS subscription keeps your setup regularly reviewed, with our expert engineers making any necessary tweaks or upgrades.

And when it’s time for any upgrades or maintenance, your CapEx isn’t consumed in order to fund them, as the cost is already covered by your OpEx through the subscription.

It’s also about protecting your business’s reputation. Failing systems and infrastructure can raise security and reliability concerns in clients’ minds. With a UPS subscription giving you rock-solid cover and a dependable extra line of defence, there’s less chance of your technology undermining the strong business relationships you’re growing.
