When businesses think about protecting their assets, the first things that usually come to mind are their physical assets: equipment, inventory, office furniture, and computers. These items can be protected from theft and damage a number of different ways including insurance, physical protection measures like locked rooms, or formal procedures for handling and using the assets.

The biggest asset in most businesses, however, is something you cannot touch or feel. It is data. The data a business keeps can relate to its sales, its purchases, its employees or its administrative policies. Once data is lost or damaged, it is not easily recoverable. Specialized computer technicians can, in some cases, recover and restore lost data. Most smaller companies, though, do not have the in-house resources to appropriately analyze and recover the data. This is a scenario perfectly suited to outsourcing.

Intellirecovery.com is a data recovery specialist. They can inspect the hard drive and advise you on the likelihood of recovering the data and then they can go ahead and do so. IntelliRecovery provides a detailed assessment and quote prior to starting work so that the customer knows exactly how much they will be paying. The company makes it easy for customers to use their services by offering a “no recovery, no charge” policy. If IntelliRecovery is unable to restore the data on a hard drive, they will not charge for the assessment or any work done to date. In other words, the customer only pays if the company can help them.

IntelliRecovery makes it easy for customers to send in their hard drives. They provide instructions for shipping a hard drive to them. Once the data has been recovered, they package it back up along with the new media and send it back to the customer.

One very useful benefit to using IntelliRecovery’s services is that they are authorized by major computer manufacturers to open up the hard drive. This means that the warranty is not invalidated the moment they begin work, as it would be with an in-house team or with many other repair facilities. IntelliRecovery also understands the importance of confidentiality. Much of the data a company produces is proprietary and should not be shared publicly. IntelliRecovery takes steps to maintain the confidentiality of the information and is willing to sign a confidentiality agreement with the customer.

IntelliRecovery can help with most typical reasons for loss of data including user deletion, computer virus, power surges, hard drive corruption, and hard drive malfunction. A common reason for recovery problems in laptops is dropping or hitting the laptop on something hard, thereby physically damaging the drive. IntelliRecovery can repair the hard drive enough to remove the data inside in most cases.

While formalizing a plan to back up your data and then doing it on a regular basis is the best way to guard your data from loss, it’s nice to know that businesses can turn to a data recovery specialist like IntelliRecovery when they do lose their data.
