ZIFF DAVIS, INC. 
By LOS ANGELES, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 09/11/13 -- KeepItSafe®, a global provider of online backup services and a brand of j2 Global®, Inc (NASDAQ: JCOM), has announced that the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, based in Hollywood, CA., has selected KeepItSafe to back up the Chamber's business critical data and historical documents to the cloud. For 92 years, the Chamber has played a very important role in the history of Hollywood -- everything from revitalizing the community to saving the Hollywood sign to managing the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
"We were using tape backup which was archaic and unreliable," says Kaylee Kiecker, vice president of marketing and business development for the Hollywood Chamber. "KeepItSafe enables us to manage our business documents in ways that are more customer-focused and better for our members. Nothing falls through the cracks and it's much more transparent."
Representing the interests of nearly 900 small firms in Los Angeles as well as acting as an advocate for the business community on wide ranging issues, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce also owns the licensing rights to the world-famous Hollywood sign and the Hollywood Walk of Fame, entities that generate hundreds of pages of documents that are now backed up by KeepItSafe. "These are historical documents that are more safe and secure than they've ever been," said Kiecker.
Commenting on the partnership with KeepItSafe, Leron Gubler, president and CEO of the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, said, "We are contracting with a reliable and affordable data protection service that easily eliminates the concern of backing up our data on a regular basis. KeepItSafe has offered us a hands-on approach to protecting our vital information and their outstanding level of customer service gave us the confidence to move away from backup tapes."
According to Kiecker, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce plans to move more business services to the cloud and is currently evaluating two other j2 Global services: eVoice®, a virtual phone service; and eFax®, the world's leading online fax service. "We love the idea of a one-stop shop that introduces us to new technologies that are relevant to the business challenges we face that we can then recommend to our members," said Kiecker.
"All businesses, regardless of size, need to protect their critical data," said Hemi Zucker, CEO of j2 Global. "We're thrilled to be working with the Hollywood Chamber."
