“BDS was the right solution for us"

Like many other companies, the Covid pandemic had a big impact on our business. We were hit on both the labor and supply sides of our business. It wasn’t until the Winter of 2021 that we recovered to being fully staffed. In terms of supplies, it has gotten so bad that some vendors have stopped accepting back orders or even communicating updates. Because of this, Lauren, our team, and I have to check our vendor's websites every day in order to find stock to order. There have been times when we see 800 stock of the item we need first thing in the morning. And while we were putting our card information in, dozens or hundreds were already sold. For some items even, I know to buy right away even if we don’t have orders because I know we can sell those items quickly. We’ve actually become more reliant on technology compared to pre-Covid.

With BDS, we can focus on our core business

As an expanding mid-sized company, most of us are asked to wear several different hats and one of those hats for me was overseeing the IT. While having some experience, IT was not my main role with the company.

BDS Keeps Employees Productive

Our company eventually grew to the size where addressing IT problems was impeding with my primary responsibilities and the complexity of our needs had outgrown my knowledge. We wanted someone local for an onsite presence with reasonable rates. That’s when we chose Business Data Services.

Understands us and delivers on-time and on-budget

At CBM, we all wear multiple hats. One of my hats happens to be IT. 90% of the time, I love my IT hat. Troubleshooting technical issues is something I look forward to doing! The added benefit is avoiding hiring a full or part-time staff dedicated to IT which saves our company quite a bit of money. On the other hand, there are times I know I’m out of my wheelhouse and need outside help. In the end, outside help is my responsibility so I go through a process to vet each potential technology partner. Our previous technology partner could not handle moving our on-prem server to Microsoft 365’s environment. It was clear we needed a new partner to cover the high level projects and technology I couldn’t handle. That’s when I reached out to BDS. What I liked most about BDS was they took the time to understand our situation, what our goals were, and created a clear plan to achieve our goals. While we did hit some road bumps through the process, BDS was there for us to make things right. I appreciate a partner who owns up to their mistakes and works hard to make things right. Despite those road bumps, BDS was able to deliver the project, on-time and on-budget. I look forward to working with BDS on future projects!

What Makes Our Backup Services Stand Out

Dual-Layer Data Protection

We combine local and off-site backups to safeguard your data from fire, theft, ransomware, or accidental deletion. This hybrid approach ensures fast recovery times and ironclad security for your Overland Park business.

Automated & Monitored Daily

Your backups run on a schedule that fits your business. And if something fails? We’ll know before you do. Every backup is monitored, verified, and alert-enabled to ensure your files are always protected.

Rapid Recovery, Every Time

Need a single file or your entire system restored? We can get you back up and running in minutes—not days. Downtime is expensive. Our backups are your insurance policy against tech disruption.

Compliant & Secure Storage

All data is encrypted in transit and at rest, stored off-site in compliant U.S.-based data centers. Perfect for firms managing financial, legal, or client-sensitive information that must meet industry regulations.

Full Reporting & Peace of Mind

No more wondering “Is our backup working?” You’ll get regular reports, success logs, and even optional monthly test recoveries. If we wouldn’t trust it for our own business, we won’t sell it to yours.

How It Works

Step 1: Free Backup Assessment

We audit your current data (on-prem, cloud, devices) and recommend a backup plan.

Step 2: Design & Schedule Setup

Create a robust backup architecture with frequency, retention, and recovery tiers.

Step 3: Ongoing Management

Automate, monitor, and alert — we handle it all so you don’t have to.

Step 3: Regular Testing & Support

Monthly recovery drills, status reporting, and prompt restores when needed.

FAQs: Backup Services for Overland Park Businesses

How often do your backups run?

We customize your backup schedule to fit your business. For most Overland Park clients, that means daily or hourly snapshots of critical data. We monitor and verify every backup automatically, so nothing slips through the cracks.

Can I recover just a single file—or do I have to restore everything?

Absolutely. You can recover anything from one document to an entire server. Our backup system lets you choose exactly what to restore, minimizing downtime and disruption.

Are your backup systems secure from hackers and ransomware?

Absolutely. We use encrypted, versioned backups stored off-site in secure, U.S.-based data centers. Even if your systems are compromised, we can roll you back to a clean version within minutes.

What happens if my backup fails one night?

You’ll know before we call. Our system automatically alerts our team if a backup fails, and we take immediate action—usually resolving issues within the same business day.

What if my office is destroyed?

With cloud and off-site backups, you can recover your data anywhere and keep your business running.

How much does your backup service cost?

Our pricing is flat-rate and based on your data size, recovery goals, and business type. Most Overland Park businesses spend far less than the cost of one day of downtime. Book a free assessment and we’ll give you a no-surprise quote.

  • What type of backup is best for my business?
