2 6 Reasons to Switch to Asigra. Want to improve margins? Need to provide more reliable managed backup services to customers? There are many reasons why a Managed Service Provider delivering managed cloud backup services might consider changing technology platforms. Making the switch is a big deal, but Asigra makes the decision easy. Your success in delivering managed backup services depends on which platform you choose. Making the right choice can lead to: More profits Higher customer satisfaction and retention Fewer technology limitations A better relationship with your platform partner Asigra can do all of the above and more.

3 1 Make More Money. Asigra can help you make more money in two ways: by improving your margins, and by expanding your customer base. Keep more profit Working with Asigra will help: Lower operating costs Asigra s agentless architecture means you do less at your customer site, so you reduce the costs of installation, security, troubleshooting, upgrading and diagnosis Lower the hidden costs of data With Asigra, the volume of data you capture, ingest and store is less than with other solutions, so you lower the amount of backup infrastructure you have to buy, manage and maintain Make operating costs predictable Asigra s reliable solution eliminates unhappy surprises like failed backups, unsuccessful recoveries and other glitches that cost time and money Reach new customers An Asigra-powered Cloud Backup and Recovery solution also satisfies a wider range of end-customer requirements than any other vendor.

4 2 Eliminate any Channel Conflict. Are you competing with your current vendor? Asigra does not deliver its own backup service. We don t run, host, or operate vaults. Not our own, not anyone else s.
