Acronis Access 7 launch Delivers Easier, More Complete, Safer Content Access, Sync and Share Than Competing Cloud-only Solutions Across Asia

SINGAPORE, November 20, 2014 - Acronis®, the global leader in new generation data protection, today announced the availability of Acronis Access 7 across the Asian market. Acronis Access 7 delivers a secure data access, sync and share edition for small to midsize businesses (SMBs) and a separate edition for larger enterprises. The announcement is made on the eve of the first Acronis All-Asia & Emerging Markets Partner Summit being held in Singapore on November 20-21. More than 230 partners are registered, and they will learn about Acronis corporate and product strategy, focus on Asia markets with the opening of its new international Headquarters in Singapore, and plans to help partners build and expand their businesses.

"Opportunities for innovation and growth in the area of data protection, secure file access and sharing and disaster-recovery solutions across physical, virtual and cloud-based environments are tremendous," said Serg Bell, CEO and co-founder of Acronis. "The aim of our Partner Summit is to highlight these important opportunities and engage with our partners to build our businesses together in this important market."

Mobilizing Small and Midsize Businesses (SMB)

Designed exclusively for SMBs, Acronis Access is the easiest mobile file access, sync and share solution for companies to buy, use and administer. The product allows employees to remain productive and efficient while travelling, enabling them to access and edit company documents without data leakage risk, easily share updated financial spreadsheets or presentations with their colleagues, and safely share content with customers, partners or prospects. Acronis understands that mobile devices have become an integral work environment component for productive and successful SMB organizations, changing the way to do business. In fact, 67 percent of SMBs view mobile solutions as critical to their businesses, and 83 percent have already deployed mobile apps to help improve employee productivity.

"Acronis Access serves as a secure alternative to cloud solutions and allows sensitive business content to remain on premises and be shared under IT control," said Terri McClure, ESG Senior Analyst. "And SMB organizations that can't afford more in-depth and complex MDM capabilities will appreciate having built-in core functionality."
