Front Porch Digital, Imagine Communications ink reseller deal

Front Porch Digital and Imagine Communications announced that they have signed a reseller agreement. Going forward, Imagine Communications will offer Front Porch Digital’s DIVArchive CSM system as part of its digital-asset–management (DAM) portfolio, with a focus on service providers in the government, telecommunications, media and entertainment, and sports markets worldwide.

“Imagine Communications is not only a frontrunner in video management and workflows, but it has long-established connections to the government and sports segments,” said Mike Knaisch, president/CEO of Front Porch Digital. “With this agreement, we are gaining a strong partner that will help us make inroads with new customers, particularly in the government sector.”

While the deal creates new business opportunities for Front Porch Digital, it enables Imagine Communications to expand its offering of advanced storage capabilities and archiving from the industry’s premier CSM company.

“This is a natural fit for both companies and a win for Imagine Communications’ customers,” said John McNamara, VP of global business development for Imagine Communications. “Front Porch Digital is the recognized leader in archiving and content management, especially in media and entertainment, and we anticipate significant synergy between our companies in terms of market focus. By adding Front Porch Digital’s expertise in the storage domain to our DAM capabilities, we are able to offer a true end-to-end solution, which is especially attractive for customers that prefer to work with a single overall provider.”
