Mateo Meier is the Founder and Chief Executive of Artmotion, a Swiss company that, since its formation over 15 years ago, has grown exponentially in a climate where the issue of data security has taken centre stage. The Swiss-born executive spent the early stages of his career across the Atlantic, where he worked succesfully as a marketing director, only to return home later and set about creating Artmotion in 2000.
The company has since become a leading data hosting provider in Switzerland, and offers state-of-the-art security solutions for businesses of all shapes and sizes in over 30 countries. Meier’s Artmotion also promises the highest level of privacy to its clients and, to date, is one of the largest offshore Swiss providers in the field.
Individuals and businesses have expressed concerns recently about where their data is stored, and Artmotion offers solutions to firms for whom a failure to take action on this point is seen as too great a risk. The company, under Meier’s watch, has done a great deal to educate individuals and businesses about their susceptibility to data leakages, even in a period when cloud computing as a storage option has shown itself to be as vulnerable, if not more so, than dedicated servers. Artmotion conveys a sense of trust and calm, which businesses around the world have bought into to their long-term benefit.
The concept of paying for data storage was an unusual one until recently, when numerous leaks made clear that storing data free of charge means it’s difficult for individuals and businesses to complain if their data is misused. As a result of such leaks, the data security industry has really taken off.
The emergence of big data and the risks posed by its improper storage have breathed fresh life into companies like Artmotion, whose business has capitalised on the budding importance of data management in modern business. Without pioneers like Meier, companies might not enjoy the level of data security that they do today.
