IDG Contributor Network: Axcient announces Fusion, aims to do away with pesky redundancy

Axcient was founded way back in 2009 with the aim of bringing business continuity and disaster recovery services (BC and DR as they are known in the acronym-mad tech industry) to small and mid-sized businesses.

Which is where Axcient came in -- it aimed to consolidate all of the business continuity stuff into a single platform that it could offer SMB customers. The idea was enterprise functionality at an SMB price point. And since then, Axcient has done pretty well.
