My Connection Statement
I’m Ariane May, and I help people communicate securely online.
Our product, Mercury, is an ultra secure communications collaboration platform incorporating video huddles, messaging and file sharing services, which protects your most precious assets: your privacy and your data. Mercury is designed to help you work more productively and securely and is an alternative tool to other video conferencing and messaging services you’re already familiar with, but is infinitely more secure.
I make it easy for my clients to transition to using Mercury, by providing high quality product onboarding and customer service.
About Me - My Biography
From our headquarters in Sydney, I am responsible for Secured Communications and Mercury in Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore.
A proud moment for me was to be one of the first Australian women to attain the coveted CPP (Certified Protection Professional) Certification from ASIS International in 2009. CPP is regarded as the international benchmark for security excellence amongst private practitioners.
I have over 20 years’ experience in security and risk management, including software and communications security.
I also have over 10 years’ experience providing customised security and risk training to large corporate and government clients, so I know how important training is when you’re implementing a new software tool to hundreds or thousands of users.
In 2007 I was awarded the National Training Legends Platinum Award by Tourism Training Australia for ‘Services to the Development of the Tourism & Hospitality Industry, Training & to the Nation’.
My Expertise
In addition to working with corporates and the NSW government, I am also a small business owner and this means I understand the communication needs and challenges of businesses of all sizes.
With Mercury, a communications collaboration platform encompassing secure video conferencing, messaging and file sharing , I help businesses:
• work more productively by streamlining their business communications
• minimise exposure to external threats
• feel reassured that their business communications are kept private
• protect sensitive information and corporate intellectual property
• improve staff safety and wellbeing through customised training
• meet employer cyber compliance requirements
• reduce insurance premiums via minimisation of risks
My passion is to always deliver the most effective and creative outcome possible for my clients. I am constantly aspiring for Best. Best practice. Best technologies and Best client experience.
Mercury is backed by a comprehensive onboarding process and support team to help you implement data security in your organisation.
Whether you work in a small business, a large corporation or government agency, secure video conferencing, messaging and file sharing is important. My ideal clients are SME’s who need to communicate securely online for business.
There are tax deductions for small businesses to invest in business expenses and depreciating assets that support their digital adoption, such as cyber security systems or subscriptions to cloud based services. More information on the Small Business Technology Investment Boost is here.
Mercury is also approved as an Advanced Supplier to the NSW Government via the ICT Services Scheme. This means any NSW Government department can choose to secure their online communications by moving to Mercury.
The good news is, teams and agencies within Government can purchase services valued up to $50,000 directly from a small business. This means individual teams within Government can make the switch to Mercury at any time, ahead of a department-wide roll out.
