DISC(R), Inc. (NASDAQ: DCSR), a leading manufacturer of automated library solutions for enterprise storage, announced today an increased emphasis on providing customers with more timely information on product enhancements as well as the growing list of applications and software support for its libraries. Beyond Words, Ltd., a public relations agency that focuses on the specialized needs of the high-tech industry, has been signed to assist DISC in its promotional efforts and will act as the company's liaison with industry editors and analysts.

Working closely with DISC management, Beyond Words has already begun development of a program that will serve as a direct adjunct to the company's business and marketing functions. In addition to DISC's day-to-day public relations, plans also include trade show activities at the April AIIM, NAB and FOSE shows.

"In our search for a public relations firm that fit with our needs and understood our markets, Beyond Words rose above the other candidates. They have been involved in evangelistic work for CD-ROM, WORM, tape, CD recording, DVD, and automated storage solutions," said J. Richard Ellis, DISC President and CEO. "Their understanding of the storage industry and proven track record in the business, financial and trade press editorial as well as with the market analyst communities made Beyond Words an easy choice. We're pleased to have them on board."

"Every year, hundreds of companies respond to the world's growing storage crisis by rushing to the market with their own latest and greatest, faster, higher-capacity solution," said Tracy Laidlaw, president of Beyond Words. "Rather than simply develop branding for DISC as a hardware and media provider, we will focus on communicating DISC's strengths as a leading developer and provider of automated solutions for enterprise storage."
