Crises Control is wholly owned by Transputec, a privately owned limited company. Transputec is an established IT services and solutions company with more than 30 years of IT innovation and excellent customer service. It was founded by two computer science students from Imperial College in their dorms, starting by developing applications for the banking industry and then migrating to a full IT services organisation.

Transputec is a premier business partner of IBM and a select partner of CISCO. Our clients include Danone, Swissport, Incisive Media, Boden and Nandos. We have an international presence with offices based in London, Dubai, India and Manila and over 150 employees worldwide.

Our primary messaging partner (SMS and voice calling) is Twilio which is based in the US and is a leader in the industry, with clients including the American Red Cross, ebay and DELL. Twilio maintains redundant inbound and outbound connectivity with dozens of network carriers around the world. Their real-time systems dynamically route each call or message via the carrier with the best connectivity at any point in time, responding automatically to carrier availability and reliability.

Twilio's infrastructure is hosted in multiple data centers, utilizing state-of-the-art practices for fault tolerance at each level of system infrastructure, including power, cooling and backbone connectivity. If disruption events occur, Twilio's software is architected to detect and automatically route around these issues in real time to ensure a consistent customer experience.

Our alternative UK based, tele-conferencing partner is X-On. Their dual site data locations in London Docklands and Suffolk ensures the service runs 24/7 with a higher than average industry up-time. Backup and duplication of systems allows them to bypass external and 3rd party failures, and to distribute call loads effectively, thereby ensuring services remain online.

Each of X-On's data centres can operate independently and handle normal load traffic in the event of site failures at the two remote sites. In normal operation, replication ensures that all service and configuration data is present on each site. Inbound numbers are dynamically routed on the BT core network or by using third party provider routing plans. Outbound Voice calls are fail-over routed by X-On to available suppliers.

Crises Control is on the UK government digital service framework G-cloud 10. Our solution is hosted on a Government Community Cloud platform suitable for Information Assurance needs up-to "OFFICIAL" and is connected to the public internet as well as non-secure government networks including PSN, N3 and JANET.
