Spare Backup Commences Mobile Products Launch with Major UK Financial Services Organization
Management estimates a minimum of $2 million in annual recurring revenue beginning in 2012 for services Incorporated into existing service contracts for several million mobile customers
MINDEN, Nev., Feb. 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Spare Backup Inc. ("Spare Backup") (OTCBB: SPBU), a provider of data backup and security software for smartphones, tablets and PCs, which is carrier and manufacturer agnostic today announced that it has commenced the mobile products launch with a major UK financial services organization (the "Organization").
As part of the launch, certain Spare Backup mobile services, including 2 gigabytes of storage will be incorporated into existing service contracts of the Organization's retail banking customers throughout the UK, numbering in excess of 4 million, at no additional charge to the customer. Spare Backup will receive monthly recurring revenue for every customer activation which is estimated to be in excess of $2 million annually. Customers who exceed the base storage capacity will be offered the opportunity to pay for additional storage on a monthly or annual basis and will also be offered subscription upgrades for additional features and services creating additional revenue opportunities which could potentially far exceed the minimum annual revenue estimates for Spare Backup.
Spare Backup recently completed security upgrades to enable Spare Backup's new websites, portals and interfaces to seamlessly integrate with the specific security standards of the Organization. The contract for services to the Organization is covered under its master services agreement with Lifestyle Services Group.
Commenting on the launch Cery Perle CEO of Spare Backup states, "We are excited to begin this launch and have now prepared for numerous additional near term launches with Lifestyle Services Group and our other major distribution partners. Our research has shown that customers value data backup products, that are simple to set-up and maintain and that the data stored on devices is now considered more valuable than the device itself. We are confident that the value we provide in loss savings, coupled with our new suite of security tools will result in a rapid acceptance rate and a solid recurring revenue base."
