Global Data Systems

Global Data Systems, or GDS, runs and takes responsibility for the connectivity, security, cloud and AI systems that businesses depend on. It calls itself a Managed Intelligence Partner, meaning clients deal with one provider and receive one consolidated bill instead of juggling many vendors and carriers.

What Global Data Systems offers

• Connectivity — links for head offices, branches, marine vessels and rural sites, set up within 48 hours.
• Managed security — security built into every service, with the whole network watched around the clock from its network operations centre.
• AI governance — structuring data access, identity controls and AI use before new tools arrive, including AI readiness assessments.
• Managed IT and cloud — operating cloud and collaboration environments, including tools such as Microsoft 365.
• Single point of support — one number to call at any hour for any IT issue.

Who it works with

It serves organisations with multiple locations and branches, including those that report to boards, investors or elected officials on technology risk.
