Gillware Data Recovery - OSI Preferred Vendor Press Release

Minneapolis, MN, March 7, 2011 - Open Systems, Inc., a leading provider of small- to medium-market business software, announced a partnership today with Gillware Data Services, LLC. As a preferred vendor, Gillware provides remote backup services for users of TRAVERSE, Open Systems' leading business and accounting software suite.

Gillware’s backup services work with the TRAVERSE’s SQL server framework, allowing automatic copying of critical business data. Because the data is stored off-premises and “in the cloud,” Gillware’s backup services can also form the cornerstone of a comprehensive disaster recovery plan.

"We're thrilled to welcome Gillware as an Open Systems preferred vendor," said Linda Shillingburg, Open Systems' Vice President of Channel Development. "Our clients will benefit from the peace-of-mind provided by Gillware’s unique services, as well as their sterling reputation in the remote backup industry.”

“It’s a great fit,” said Scott Eganhouse, Gillware’s Director of Business Development. “Both Gillware and Open Systems are customer-focused companies that emphasize ease-of-use in their products, so this partnership is a natural one. We look forward to supplementing Open Systems’ business software with equally reliable off-site data backup and storage.”
