Hosting 365

Sentenial, the international Irish payment service provider, has chosen Hosting365 to provide its primary network hosting in order to meet stringent requirement as laid down by international standards bodies. Sentenial is the only Irish software company to have achieved accreditation for both the ISO 9000 and the security standard IS/BS 7799.

“Part of the criteria to achieve these standards was to host our web based application with a provider that could offer the required security, scalability, load balancing and contingency features,� says Brian Hanrahan, Business Development Director with Sentenial.

Sentenial was formed two years ago but has already created a market both within Ireland and more recently in Europe and America for its payment services. In particular, its direct debit processing software applications and managed services allow its client to lower administrative costs, increase operating margins and improve customer service.

Dan King, sales and marketing manager with Hosting365 acknowledges the importance of Sentenial’s reliance on his company. “We have provided a dedicated hosting solution and manage the day to day operations for Sentenial such as maintenance, hardware upgrades, provision of software patches and backup.�

Sentenial has experienced rapid success with high profile clients in a number of diverse industries, including the utilities, leisure sector, commercial internet hosting. Part of its success lies in its compatibility with all the main Irish financial institutions including Bank of Ireland, Allied Irish Banks (AIB), Ulster Bank, Permanent TSB and National Irish Bank.

Hanrahan backs up his decision to select Hosting365 as their hosting partner of choice. “We are happy with our chosen partner. Hosting365 has an excellent reputation, offers the ability to easily scale and can point to an impressive client list and stability. Now that we are working with them we find the additional proactive approach adopted by the company as an added bonus. There ability to focus on our individual customer needs is a clear indicator of our good working partnership and changes it from a mere vendor / supplier relationship.�
