Partnership enables Adobe to provide value-added services to customers
BOSTON, Feb. 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Iron Mountain Incorporated
(NYSE: IRM), the global leader in information protection and storage services,
today announced a new partnership with Adobe Systems Incorporated to help
Adobe(R) Photoshop(R) Album Starter Edition, Photoshop Elements and Adobe
Bridge users protect and access their digital images.
Adobe Photoshop Services has been expanded to now include Iron Mountain's
Connected DataProtector/PC(TM), providing Adobe Digital Imaging and Creative
Suite software users with an online backup service to protect against
accidental loss or corruption of digital photos. The subscription service
gives Adobe Digital Imaging and Creative Suite software users the power to
automatically and easily back up their library of digital images, and provides
instant access to images whenever and wherever they need them. Adobe Digital
Imaging and Creative Suite software users can also automatically back up other
records, including design files, financial files, word documents,
spreadsheets, and presentations, eliminating the need to buy, label and store
CDs, Zip disks, or other storage media.
"We're committed to continually bringing the best products and services
available to photographers from within the Photoshop user experience," said
Deb Whitman, vice president of product management for Digital Imaging at
Adobe. "We're happy to work with companies like Iron Mountain who help ensure
that photographers can protect their digital images for the future."
The Iron Mountain service is integrated with Adobe Bridge as well as Adobe
Photoshop Elements 3.0 and 4.0, and Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.0.
Users of this software will be able to try out the new online backup services
before subscribing.
"Adobe is smart to provide its loyal customer base with relevant, value-
added services -- and Iron Mountain's online backup service fits their
strategy perfectly," said Dave Kubick, vice president of worldwide channels
and alliances at Iron Mountain. "We're very pleased that Adobe has teamed with
Iron Mountain to deliver data protection services to its valued user
community."
This strategic partnership enables Iron Mountain to tap into Adobe's
robust customer base by complementing Adobe's product with a value-added
service. Iron Mountain already has formed more than 200 channel partnerships
globally with companies that are among the best in their respective spaces.
