Mitchell International Announces Creation of Data Centres in Canada for Regulatory Compliance

Canadian Data Centres Protect Canadians' Personal Information From Unauthorized Third-Party Access


SAN DIEGO, CA and TORONTO--(Marketwire - September 21, 2007) - Mitchell International, a leading provider of information, workflow, and performance management solutions to the collision claims and repair industries, today furthered its commitment to protect the personal data of its Canadian insurance carrier customers and their policy holders through the successful establishment of Canadian-based primary and secondary data centres. With this announcement, Mitchell remains a leader in creating local data centres to store and run applications used by Canadian insurance carrier customers. These domestically run data centres process Canadian customer information independent from US-based data centres and replace facilities that previously provided services from within the United States.

"Data protection and maintaining the privacy of personal data have always been a top priority of Mitchell International. Our Canadian customers can now rest assured that personal information is protected with the establishment of our all-Canadian state-of-the-art data centre facilities," said Mike Jerry, General Manager, Mitchell International (Canada).

Mitchell International's Canadian data centres also feature Canadian-based local support and systems staff who ensure private data is not accessed remotely from outside Canada to meet new Canadian privacy requirements. By locating Canadian data in centres domestically, Mitchell offers a unique service advantage to its Canadian customers while complying with local government regulations.
