Houston,

utilities and energy companies meet new requirements
related to physical and cyber infrastructure protection,
disaster recovery, and business continuity planning.
SoftSmiths delivers critical e-Business solutions and
services that enable energy industry participants to

With the anticipated Homeland Security driven requirements

disruptive event recovery and restoration, and IT infrastructure

a top priority for all commercial entities to reduce
mission critical vulnerabilities through proper planning
and implementation of preventive measures to minimize
risk and possible loss", said Hugo Stappers, Director
of SoftSmiths. "Our new services address these
needs and complement SoftSmiths’ mission critical
