BitLeap and Concerto Networks form International Partnership

May. 23, 2006 5:56pm

BitLeap, a data back-up solution company, has announced a new partnership with Concerto Networks, Inc., an international franchise organization based in San Diego, CA with franchise locations throughout the United States, Spain, United Kingdom, New Zealand and Ireland. Concerto Networks specializes in providing proactive and professionally managed technology services and support to small and medium sized business (SMB) clients through the Concerto Networks Simple Office™ support plans.

BitLeap’s automatic backup solution enables data from participating Concerto Networks customers to be transferred offsite as soon as it is created. Using BitLeap’s backup service, the customers will not need to conduct time consuming daily physical media backups and their data will no longer be at risk between backup sessions. Once securely transferred to BitLeap’s data storage network, customer data is protected by highly redundant disk backup servers located in multiple physically secured locations across varied states.

Each Concerto Networks franchise is positioned to act as an outsourced Information Technology (IT) director, offering services that include initial needs assessments, purchasing guidance, installation, and maintenance of complete office technology systems. Concerto Networks’ services go beyond traditional troubleshooting and repair of computers and networks, providing a comprehensive solution designed to help SMBs plan, manage and optimize their IT to get the maximum benefit from their investment. Concerto Networks’ President, Eric Tobias, commented on how the new partnership with BitLeap would help them achieve this goal:

“BitLeap’s products and services are a perfect fit with Concerto Networks’ philosophy by simply solving an important need like data backups while providing more value than previous traditional solutions such as tape backup systems. We help our clients by taking the confusion out of how to protect their data and put simplicity and security back in with solutions like Bitleap’s so clients can focus on more important things such as running their business.”

BitLeap CEO, Guy Suter, remarked on the new partnership:

“This is BitLeap’s first partnership with an international technology provider. We are excited about the opportunity our relationship with Concerto Networks will create for all parties, especially the customers. We will work together to combine first hand in-depth knowledge of BitLeap’s innovative backup technology and capabilities with Concerto Networks’ understanding of their customers’ practical technology requirements.”

Partner Program

BitLeap’s IT Partner Program has been steadily growing since its formal announcement in October, 2005. The program recognizes that businesses have to manage complex overall IT plans of which BitLeap’s products and services only represent a part of the whole picture. BitLeap’s value to our customers has increased by partnering with firms, like Concerto Networks, that serve as the overall IT integrator for their customers and therefore understand both BitLeap’s capabilities and the precise needs of their customers better than anyone else.
