Global Connect's Toronto Data Center to Serve Voice Messaging Customers in Canadian Market

Global Connect, the leading provider of telephone voice broadcasting and notification services, offers data security and privacy in Canada, as well as the United States, thanks to a data center in Toronto. The company’s Canadian data center, which opened in January, 2008, provides a secure, all-Canada storage and networking platform, enhancing the ability of Global Connect’s customers to comply with Canadian data privacy laws.

Customers of Global Connect use the web-based system to reach lists of their own contacts with scheduled voice and email notifications. The new data center allows Global Connect’s Canadian customers to store their data entirely in Canadian jurisdiction. An independent consultancy group has audited the Global Connect site and reviewed the company’s policies, procedures and security, giving Canadian customers even more assurance that their information is safe in the Global Connect data center.

"It has always been important to Global Connect to offer clients a system that is as secure as it is fast and cost-effective," said Craig Bird, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Global Connect. "As we continue to grow and expand into Canada, we remain focused on the security of our system, and with our customers’ ability to comply with applicable privacy regulations. A number of clients in the Canadian market have already taken advantage of our new data center to ensure that their security and privacy needs are met."
