ALISO VIEJO, Calif., June 4, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Memeo Inc., a worldwide provider of digital life and information management solutions for the consumer and business markets, today announced it has expanded into new distribution channels through an alliance with SupportSoft Inc., (Nasdaq:SPRT), which provides consumers with Instant Technology Relief(sm) from their frustrating computer problems. SupportSoft chose Memeo's high performance content management and data protection software, AutoBackup 2.0, as the backup solution to be offered with support.com's new Data Backup Service. support.com's Data Backup Service offers consumers advice about the best backup plan for their needs and performs a backup of the customer's precious digital content such as photos, videos or music.
The alliance enhances support.com's robust problem diagnosis and resolution services. It also allows Memeo to offer AutoBackup 2.0 to a whole new segment of customers and demonstrates the extensibility of AutoBackup, which was previously only available via retail or with storage hardware devices.
"We have all suffered through painstaking computer problems, but consumers typically lack the detailed knowledge and resources to solve those problems," said Hong Bui, CEO of Memeo. "With instant diagnosis and problem resolution, support.com is the light at the end of the virtual tunnel, and AutoBackup 2.0 is the ideal companion, allowing users to protect precious data when they do experience such issues. Our relationship with SupportSoft provides their customers with a timely and critical solution while allowing Memeo to open up a whole new segment of potential customers."
"As consumers rely more and more on computers in their daily lives, it's frustrating and stressful when their computer doesn't work. Now, in addition to providing consumers 'instant technology relief' to their frustrating computer problems, support.com can help prevent consumers from frustrating and tragic data loss," said Anthony Rodio, chief marketing officer responsible for support.com. "support.com's consultation and setup service for computer backup leveraging Memeo software augments our already robust service offering by allowing us to provide an essential data protection service that is extremely powerful."
Memeo AutoBackup 2.0 is the ideal solution for consumers and small business users who want to seamlessly protect personal files such as photos, videos and music or work files such as presentations or spreadsheets. It includes an intuitive Smart Picks(tm) set-up wizard, which allows users to easily locate the files they need to protect. For added security, Memeo now includes the ability to create password-encrypted backup plans. The product's OneClick Restore(tm) is a stand-alone application that provides a trouble-free way to locate and restore important files with just a couple clicks of the mouse. Unique to AutoBackup 2.0 is its ability to create multiple concurrent backup plans to a wide range of backup destinations.
