Jersey entrepreneurs Chris Langlois and Stafford Slater have opened their own business, Enso Solutions.
The firm aims to help businesses review, update or maintain their work environment, while planning transformation strategies using cloud, software-defined network and security managed services to support a flexible office and home-based workforce.
Stafford Slater commented: "In May 2020, it was reported that the proportion of malicious email attacks targeting homeworkers had increased from 12% before the UK’s lockdown began in March to more than 60% six weeks later.
"Our goal is to work with customers to ensure they not only have secure and effective network solutions in their office but can also support their workforce to operate as efficiently and safely at home."
Chris Langlois added: "With the rollout of a global vaccine programme, there appears to be a light at the end of the pandemic tunnel. However, many companies need to make decisions about their future business model. Do they go back to business as normal and bring all staff back into the office, or will we see a permanent shift to flexible homeworking solutions?
"More than likely, a combination of both will occur. Whatever their decision, companies must have secure and efficient networks ready to limit and respond quickly to cyber attacks that can seriously disrupt business activity."
The two men have 45 years' experience between them working for IT and communications companies in Jersey. Chris spent eight years with JT and eight with Sure, while Stafford has most recently been Head of Networking and Security at C5 Alliance, but earlier in his career spent 19 years with JT.
