QStar Becomes Partner

HANNOVER, Germany -- QStar announces today that it has joined up as a premier and founding partner of Archive Management.org. http://www.archivemgt.org/

To aid organizations in the development of common- sense archiving strategies, the Data Management Institute and Toigo Partners International have launched Archive Management.Org (AMO). AMO is a free information portal and on-line community that connects technology consumers to user case studies, background information and test reports on archive- related products, as well as contact information for service providers who can help specify and deploy archive solutions. The free site will also offer visitors the opportunity to report on their experiences with archiving products and services to enable oversight of those selling archive products and services.

Jon Toigo got the idea to create this online community at the QStar 20th year Partner event in Sorrento, Italy in May. Attending QStar's partners, resellers and customers expressed an interest in having a forum to learn and share archiving strategies. They saw a need for a nonprofit neutral voice for the archiving community that could educate and promote archiving as a technology, not as a product. Toigo, after hearing this, had the idea to create this forum, which is now the AMO. The idea was well received by the attendants.

Vendors can use the AMO Guides to link to their product's descriptions, technology white papers, and user case studies; increasing the reach of marketing dollars. They can also access listings of service providers who are potential channel partners for their products from the AMO Guide to Service Providers.
