More Baton Rouge IT firms are offering up free services to area businesses affected by flooding.
As previously reported, Puryear IT this morning opened up its facilities at 1779 Government St. as a temporary command center for displaced businesses in need of a stable headquarters to regroup. The company is offering up free space, internet and power.
As of this afternoon, at least two other area IT firms—Gulf South Technology Solutions and General Informatics—have announced they are also offering free services to flooded businesses.
Gulf South Technology Solutions says its corporate offices at 7668 Goodwood Blvd., across from the Main Library, have not experienced flooding and are available to those who have been negatively impacted.
“We have electricity, internet and everything needed to get you and your business back on track,” the company says in a statement, adding it’s making its conference room available to clients and nonclients.
Meanwhile, General Informatics is also offering free data retrieval from damaged servers, server restore from backup—both in the cloud and on new servers—and network troubleshooting and setup to businesses that have flooded.
Also, Venyu is making its Business Continuity Center in Baton Rouge available for free use to first responders and parish governments. Businesses can use the center for half the normal cost.
