Visma Backup is a service provided since 2007 by Storegate for Visma, a Swedish supplier of software for administration, accounting and finances. From April 10th, the service is called Storegate Backup.
– As we have been providing the service in the name of Visma for a long period of time, it of course means a lot to us that Visma trusts us to continue doing so using our own brand. This means that we can offer attractive pricing for upgrades for secure storage and backup, but also that we soon will be able to supply a broader spectrum of services to Visma’s customers, says Matz Karlsson, CEO at Storegate AB.
The name change brings no other large changes for current users, but all support for the service is from now on provided by Storegate.

Advania and Storegate recently decided on a unique concept for cloud storage – Storegate Enterprise. The layout of the concept is that Advania installs SOSA, the Storegate cloud storage platform, at a Swedish Advania data centre. This gives Advania the possibility to take full responsibility for services provided by Storegate towards their own customers.
– Storegate supplies cloud serviced for safe storage of digital information, both branded Storegate and via so called White Label- solutions, where operators and service providers can offer Storegate applications using their own brands. However, the collaborative deal with Advania is something all new, this is our first external installation using the Storegate brand, says Matz Karlsson, CEO at Storegate.
Since 2003, Storegate offers cloud services and applications for secure storage. Customers are found both in Scandinavia and globally, and range from small businesses to large companies – often and as in this case, service providers. As such, Advania specializes in a market with very high demands on access and security.
– It’s complicated for us to reach large businesses with our services as they often choose a total IT partner, that sometimes even supply entire office concepts. In this concept, our services will be part of Advanias new cloud Portal Advania Marketplace. Being run entirely by Advania, with customer data stored at Advania data centres, the service is a natural part of their 24/7 service commitment.
– It’s both exciting and fun having started this collaboration with Storegate, says Daniel Albertsson, Nordic Manager Cloud Services. Storegate offers a wide range of platform independent storage solutions and their sought-after Team gives businesses better control of both data and users, as it enables working directly in the cloud. A benefit especially when working with external partners and suppliers. And of course, it is a bonus that Storegate is an all-Swedish supplier of cloud services, Daniel concludes.

Storegate AB now releases a new version of its backup software. This 3rd generation of the product since 2003 is called Online Backup 2.0 and the development has focused on improving the user experience.
The big difference between the Storegate software and conventional backup services is that all information is stored in its original format. Thereby users that lose files due to a computer crash, theft, or any other reason, immediately can access their files in a usable format. Most backup software requires installation of recovery software or other methods of restoration of files to the original format when recovering a backup.
– From the start in 2003, our philosophy has been to provide users a safe backup service that keep their data readily accessible in the cloud. We believe in simplicity for our customers and that no one should have to be an IT-technician to maintain his or her digital information safe, says Bertil Hedén, Business and Product development manager at Storegate AB.
Online Backup 2.0 functions similarly to the predecessors, but provides a few new functions, features and improvements to give the user a better overview of the process and result. Except for the back-end technology not visible to the user, the new version among other things offers.:
A more user friendly appearance that is easier to navigate
Better monitoring and control of performed backup sets
Easier possibility to restore files
The software will prompt users to update when the new version is available.

The number of Swedish IT professionals choosing to offer their customers cloud storage with Storegate is increasing and the network now stretches from the very south of the country to the most northern parts.
Most resellers function as both supplier and support for small to medium size businesses and supply complete solutions. To Storegate, they are an important strenght when meeting the demands of a broad and varied market.
– Even if most of our products are very easy to set up and manage it is a great support, especially for those who need help setting up a larger installation to backup server systems or managing large numbers of users for sharing and co-working with folders and files.
As of today, it is clearer to customers of Storegate that all files placed with the company are stored in Sweden, protected by Swedish law.
Storegate is updating the company visual identity, which among other things brings a new logo. The new logo is part of a larger effort where we want to be clear about who we are, since this affects what we do. Neutrality and integrity are traditional Swedish values and they harmonize with what we stand for – secure storage with high integrity, and we think a blue and yellow cloud illustrates this well.
As we clarify where we stand on integrity, we think it’s a good time to release an updated version of our privacy policy. The policy is our promise, and written declaration, of responsibility on how we handle the information you choose to share or store with us. It explains how we, on all levels, meet and excel the new policies from EU regarding, for example, involvement of third countries.
On the swedish market, Storegate now launches a new communication concept describing the services the company provides and illustrating it’s values. “Gränslöst svenskt” roughly translates into “Swedish without borders”, and refers to the nearly limitless ways of using cloud services – and the traditional swedish neutrality and protection of integrity.
Data storage and integrity are highly discussed topics in Sweden at the moment and in that context the aim of the concept is to strategically position Storegate, with it’s blue and yellow cloud, as the all swedish alternative to Dropbox, Google Drive and Microsoft Onedrive. To reach the market the company has closed a deal with another actor, Aggregate Media, exchanging newly issued stocks for media placement in multiple channels. The value of the media investment measures up to 9 million SEK.
