A Message from our CEO
Earlier this month I shared some exciting news with you. On September 16th, Archive360 announced that Leeds Equity Advisors is investing in Archive360. Details of the announcement can be found here on our website. Leeds Equity is an impressive investment firm based in New York City with domain expertise exclusively focused on technology companies in the information and knowledge management sectors.
Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, Archive360 has experienced a massive increase in demand from organizations worldwide looking to accelerate their plans for digital transformation and replace their legacy vendors. Our decision to consider external investment at this time is the direct result of customer demand for more secure, scalable, customer-controlled cloud-based information management and archiving. With the backing of Leeds Equity, Archive360 will be better positioned to:
- Further support the expanding and future requirements of our customers.
- Accelerate our technical innovation in order to drive down the costs, complexities and risks of cloud adoption.
- Provide our customers (in both the private and public sectors) around the world with the best solutions to optimize how they manage the lifecycle of growing volumes of data in the cloud.
From a day to day perspective, it will be business as usual for our customers. Tibi Popp (our CTO and co-founder) and I will continue to manage Archive360, supported by the great team that you have come to know and love over the last six years. However, with Leeds Equity as our partner, we will accelerate the work that we have started and provide organizations with even better ways to securely migrate their digital data to the cloud, and manage it for their increasing regulatory, compliance, legal and business intelligence needs.
Today Archive360 is the leading innovator for information management and archiving, and our customers include some of the greatest brands and most highly recognized government agencies on earth. With your help (thank you!), we have built a world-class solution and assembled the best team in the industry. Tomorrow, with the support of Leeds Equity, we will extend our leadership position by driving even greater value and opportunities for our existing and future customers.

Support Highlight
Proactive Monitoring of your Archive360 Environment
Cloud adoption and digital transformation remain a strategic priority for many of our customers. However, as the volume of data moved to the cloud continues to grow, so too do concerns with the ability to actively monitor cloud infrastructure and cloud-based applications.
Introducing Admin Assist
Admin Assist is an optional support service delivering continuous 24/7 monitoring of a customer's implemented Archive360 software. In addition to proactively monitoring the performance of a customer’s Archive360 platform, our Cloud Services team also monitors the Azure resources supporting the solution. All monitored resources need to be within the designed parameters, and specific processes are triggered in the event of exceptions or anomalies. The objective is to remediate the observed issue as quickly as possible and ensure that the system works again within the designed parameters.
