Agreement Broadens Front Porch Digital's Reach Into Government and Sports Markets
LAFAYETTE, Colo. -- Sept. 12, 2014 -- Front Porch Digital, the global leader in cloud-based content storage management (CSM) solutions, and Imagine Communications, a market leader of media software and video infrastructure solutions serving the global broadcast, multichannel video programming distributor, and enterprise markets, today announced that they have signed a reseller agreement. Going forward, Imagine Communications will offer Front Porch Digital's DIVArchive(R) CSM system as part of its digital asset management (DAM) portfolio, with a focus on service providers in the government, telecommunications, media and entertainment, and sports markets worldwide.
"Imagine Communications is not only a frontrunner in video management and workflows, but it has long-established connections to the government and sports segments," said Mike Knaisch, president and CEO of Front Porch Digital. "With this agreement, we are gaining a strong partner that will help us make inroads with new customers, particularly in the government sector."
While the deal creates new business opportunities for Front Porch Digital, it enables Imagine Communications to expand its offering of advanced storage capabilities and archiving from the industry's premier CSM company.
"This is a natural fit for both companies and a win for Imagine Communications' customers," said John McNamara, vice president of global business development for Imagine Communications. "Front Porch Digital is the recognized leader in archiving and content management, especially in media and entertainment, and we anticipate significant synergy between our companies in terms of market focus. By adding Front Porch Digital's expertise in the storage domain to our DAM capabilities, we are able to offer a true end-to-end solution, which is especially attractive for customers that prefer to work with a single overall provider."
