BURLINGTON, MA - January 27, 2015- Acronis®, the world leader in new
generation data protection, announces that Serg Bell, its CEO, has
been awarded 'Entrepreneur 2014', according to Ernst and Young. Serg Bell took
first place among more than 60 top entrepreneurs in the
'Software' nomination.
The 'Entrepreneur of the Year' award has been presented by Ernst
and Young for the past 29 years across approximately 145 cities in
60 countries around the world. This year the stage saw more
than 60 owners and top managers of successful businesses. According to the head of the CIS
international program, this is a record number of
participants. The organizing committee emphasized that all
competitors this year were very strong entrepreneurs who have
created prosperous businesses over the last few years.
"Acronis has always been a dynamic company. Last year we made
major changes with new business processes and updates to both our
partner strategy and geographical focus," said Serg Bell, Acronis
CEO. "New innovative products were made available and we undertook
a rebranding program, including product name changes and updates to
pricing. We hired many new experts for our team, expanded our
business by acquiring two companies and setting up international
headquarters in Singapore."
For 2015 Serg Bell says, Acronis will continue to restructure
its business to meet its customers' digital data needs. The company
sees definite possibilities for growth through increased attention
to data protection and the tendency for import replacement. "As
data becomes more and more of an asset, it can also pose danger
without the right data protection strategy including, backup and
recovery and also secure file sync and share," Serg Bell said.
"Centered on this premise of protecting data for both consumers and
businesses of all sizes - from SMBs to large corporations - this
year will be about serving up our traditional products in a new,
yet still secure, way - providing customers with advanced 'as a
service' solutions offering cloud backup, recovery and storage as
well as easy, complete and safe access to content across all
popular computers and mobile devices."
