FORT LEE, N.J., April 12, 2017 -- OwnBackup today announced it has been selected by Skillsoft, the global leader in eLearning, as its strategic partner for data backup, recovery, and replication services.  Skillsoft joins a burgeoning number of organizations taking a more proactive approach to protecting their SaaS-application data. Skillsoft will leverage the OwnBackup service to protect its SaaS-based customer relationship management system data as part of its comprehensive information technology disaster recovery plan. This move is only one in a series that the company has been making to support its rapidly growing global customer base, and ensure a superior customer experience for end user organizations.

“A proactive approach to protecting our customer data is imperative to our rapidly expanding, global business,” says Apratim Purakayastha, CTO, Skillsoft. “The OwnBackup solution will introduce an unparalleled level of operational efficiency and data protection peace of mind in supporting our sizable global database of more than 6,500 customers.”
