January 2013 Update

Welcome to the first Cristie Software News Bulletin for 2013! Happy New Year! Wishing you all a prosperous 2013. Here at Cristie we are looking forward to the year ahead with lots of exciting projects and products currently in development. In the last edition we introduced our latest solution in the last phases of development - CloneManager (www.cristie.com/products/clonemanager), we have had some fantastic news from a large reseller who has chosen us as their on-boarding software provider for all of their worldwide user base. Press release will soon be announced! Other news includes our new offer for existing HomeBase users - find out more information below or at www.cristie.com/homebase-user-offer We hope that you have had a successful start to 2013 and please get in touch if we can help support any deals that you have in the pipeline or if you need any advice for new software for your own business. Why not keep in touch with what we are getting up to by following us on Twitter @CristieSoftware, LinkedIn and on our blog site. All the best, Natalie Schofield, International Marketing Manager Connect with me on LinkedIn Purchasing Updates... Cristie Software solutions (CBMR, TBMR and NBMR) can now be purchased through a range of new channels, including IBM's Passport Advantage (PPA).

Competitive upgrade for existing EMC HomeBase users... Cristie Software is offering EMC HomeBase users a low cost option to migrate to NBMR (Bare Machine Recovery for NetWorker) or CBMR (Cristie Bare Machine Recovery) for non-NetWorker users. EMC announced end of life for their HomeBase solution on 12th August 2012, with maintenance and support also being discontinued later this year. The cost of the upgrade is only US$100 per license which includes 12 months maintenance. This is often less than the maintenance cost of HomeBase licenses alone and is a massive discount to the normal list price of NBMR/CBMR of US$700 per license. But hurry this offer is only available for a limited time!
