FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Didcot, UK – 13th September 2005 – Otium Software, the leading UK-based provider of affordable Storage Resource Management (SRM) software, today announced a new partnership with Clever-Stuff to deliver a trial version of UtiliSync simple backup software on market leading disgo USB flash drives.

Andrew Martin, Managing Director at Otium, explained “USB device capacity is now getting to an average size where they have become an excellent resource to use as a backup tool. They are robust and can be stored in a separate location from users PC's. UtiliSync is a great fit, as every time a user plugs in their disgo USB flash drive to their UtiliSync protected PC all their important changed and new files are automatically copied to the key”

disgo and UtiliSync is already proving to be a great combination with home users and business alike taking advantage of the combination. Martin continues “We have already found that businesses with mobile users have adopted this bundle as it provides a non intrusive sure fire way of ensuring that mobile workers protect their most vital data”

Paul de Lacy, Strategic Business Manager at Clever-Stuff, is particularly pleased with the arrangement. “We knew a large proportion of our customers had expressed the need for a simple yet effective backup product to use with their disgo USB flash drive and UtiliSync with its small footprint fitted the bill nicely. I am particularly pleased with the arrangement as those users who do not need the software are not burdened with the extra cost, where as those who do want it are able to try the software first. Then, if satisfied, the user can purchase a full version from the www.mydisgo.com at a very reduced rate from retail prices. This is part of a continuing drive by Clever-Stuff to add value for our disgo customers.”
